For the first time in over 3 years, I have time and energy to read novels like I used to. Inspired by Modern Mrs. Darcy’s reading challenge, I’ve assembled my list. Here’s to being (overly) ambitious! And hopefully, reading some good literature this year. Now, I have to decide which one to do first. What’s on your reading list this year?
- A book published this year: What is Not Yours is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi
- A book you can finish in a day: See Now Then by Jamaica Kincaid
- A book you’ve been meaning to read: Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
- A book recommended by local book seller: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
- A book you should have read in school: A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf
- A book chosen by a sibling: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
- A book published before I was born: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
- A book that was banned at some point: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
- A book you previously abandoned: Dead Souls by Gogol
- A book you own but never read: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
- A book that intimidates you: The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
- A book you’ve read at least once: My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier
