Welcome to this month's edition of Six Degrees of Separation, which is a monthly meme hosted by Kate from Books Are My Favourite and Best. The idea is to start with a specific book and make a series of links from one book to the next using whatever link you can find and see where you end up after six links. I am also linking this post up with The Sunday Salon, hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz and A Good Book and a Cup of Tea hosted at Boondock Ramblings.
This month the starting prompt start was to start with your book group’s current selection (or if you’re not in a book group, start with the book that you’re currently reading). my read on a theme book club theme this month was "environment" and I chose to read Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghey, so that is where I am starting this time!
My first link uses the word shore as the connection. Dawn on the Distant Shore by Sara Donati is the second book in the Into the Wilderness series.
Another shore, again distant, so my next selection is A Distant Shore by Peter Yeldham.
My next connection only uses the word distant, and is The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
If I think about a different word for distant, I have the word far, so I have chosen The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. To be fair, it was only as I found the cover that I realised that the title is Faraway and not Far Away.
The opposite of far is close, and so I have chosen The Mystery of Mercy Close by Marian Keyes. (review)
My final selection uses the word close as the link. My selection is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (review)
Next month, the starting point is Rachel Cusk’s latest novel, Life of M. Normally I find myself having an idea as soon as the prompt is revealed and I write the post straight away, but I must admit this time I am drawing a blank. Good job I have a month to think about it!
Will you be joining us next month?
