I haven't done Six in Six before but I saw it over at Words and Peace and I decided to join in! I thought it would also be a good way to do a roundup of the various challenges that I am doing this year. Along the way I will mention 7 out of the 8 books that I have given 5/5 to so far this year! I just couldn't make the last one fit into any of these challenges. That book is First Time Caller by B K Borison.
There is one challenge that I haven't included in this list as I really wanted to have a category for Australia authors and that is the New Release Challenge hosted by The Chocolate Lady's Book Review Blog. Of the 77 books I have read so far this year, 30 have counted for the New Release Challenges. Foodies Read (hosted at Based on a True Story) is probably not technically a challenge, but I do enjoy linking up whenever I read a foodie book!

So there's my Six in Six for this year! And an update on my challenges at the same time.
I am sharing this with Sunday Salon hosted at Readerbuzz and A Good Book and a Cup of Tea hosted at Hopewell's Library.
That's a great breakdown of the books into categories. I like some of the Australian authors but sometimes those books/authors are harder for me to find here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to do 6 in 6 as well as an update on your challenges. I'm finished with all of my yearly challenges except my Speccie Fiction Challenge, and I can't finish it until Moss'd in Space arrives for me at the library.
ReplyDeleteWow this is so fun!! Don't Brake My Heart looks cute! And I loved The Berry Pickers.
ReplyDeleteI did Six in Six for many years, but somehow lost track of it. Didn't realize it was still around. Great categories!
ReplyDeleteFabulous to combine it with all the challenges you are doing, well done!
