I’ve never done this meme before but lots of the blogs that I enjoy frequenting have been doing it including Margaret at BooksPlease and I decided to join in. The idea is that you choose book titles from your TBR pile which begin with the letters of your blog name. So, here goes – sixteen of them. I intend to read them before the end of this year.
P – Papa-la-bas by John Dickson Carr
I – If This Is a Man by Primo Levi
N – Nicolo Rising by Dorothy Dunnett
I – If Not Now, When by Primo Levi
N – Not So Quiet by Helen Zenna Smith
G – Guest in the House by Philip MacDonald
F – For the Sake of the School by Angela Brazil
O – Old Hall-New Hall by Michael Innes
R – Reputation for a Song by Edward Grierson
T – Troy Chimneys by Margaret Kennedy
H – How Late It Was – How Late by James Kelman
E – Edinburgh by Robert Louis Stevenson
W – Winter by Len Deighton
E – Everything You Need by A.L. Kennedy
S – Spiderweb by Penelope Lively
T – Trooper to the Southern Cross by Angela Thirkell
Have you read any of these books and if so where should I begin?
I haven’t read any of these Katrina, but I have read some Primo Levi so I’ll be interested in your thoughts on his books. There are several in your list that are new to me. You often find interesting books that are a little different đŸ™‚
Sandra,
I’ve been meaning to read those Primo Levi books for years but have been afraid they might be too depressing. I’ll have to gird my loins!
I’ve only read different books by Wielsel, Stevenson, and Thirkell, so I can’t comment on any of these from experience. I’m really enjoying Thirkell’s Barsetshire series but I think Trooper to the Southern Cross is a separate book.
I hope you read Troy Chimneys soon because I want to read it too! I’m about to start a readalong for Testament of Youth in June but I’m definitely going to try and read Troy Chimneys this summer.
Karen K,
I believe that Trooper to the Southern Cross is about WW1 and is autobiographical.
I hope you and I will be reading Troy Chimneys around about the same time. I read Testament of Youth years ago, before it was ever on TV here, it’s so sad.
