Try a Chapter - Challenge

Hi Book-Sniffers and Librocubicularists,

A new challenge! This one is intriguing and I love it. Originally a BookTube tag, created by BookParadise, this approach allows the reader to sample a bunch of books before deciding which one to delve into.

Challenge: Read the first chapter of 5 books.

Reading the first chapter will allow me to explore the writing styles, find out which one appeals the most, and which one sets up a story that intrigues me the most.
I've chosen five that I own and keep putting off, again and again and again. They're never going to get read. Until now.

Reflect: Keep a few handy notes, write what I like, and what makes me go "hmmmm".

Juggling a career with a hobby isn't always easy. Sampling will allow me to make sure I devote my precious reading time to something I'm invested in.

Choose: Read the book that grabs me the most.

Result:  Write a second blog exploring my reading experience based on this method as well as the feelings toward the book chosen.

Good Luck!!!

Brondings' Honour ~ Ann Ewan

Cannonbridge ~ Jonathan Barnes

Daughter of the Empire ~ Raymond E. Feist

King's Dragon ~ Kate Elliott

The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic ~ Emily Croy Barker







All of these are guilt books. Either I've bought them years ago, borrowed from a friend, or received as a gift.


~Happy Reading~
