Six in Six

I think I paid attention to the Six in Six post on She Reads Novels for the first time and decided to give it a try. It’s a sort of review of reading for the last six months, in which you pick six categories with six books. I see I have read 80 books, so it’s not going to cover mine very well. You can make up your own categories if you want. I have plagiarized from Helen for most of mine and from Annelies of In Another Era. Oh, I see I have the logo, so I must have done this at least once before.

If the title isn’t linked, I haven’t posted my review yet.

Six Set in a Different Century

Six Originally Written in Another Language

Six about Real People

Six with a Mystery

Six with Elements of Fantasy or Supernatural

Six Favorites

What about you? Have you read any of these books? Which books stand out from your first six months of reading this year?

Six in Six logoI wasn’t aware of the Six in Six meme until this year, but it sounded like something fun to participate in for July. I read about it on She Reads Novels, but it is hosted by The Book Jotter. The idea is to pick six categories under which you list six books you have read during the first six months of the year and post these lists any time in July. If you would like to participate, too, you can see a fuller description with suggestions of categories on The Book Jotter’s post. Here are my categories and books. I don’t have all of my reviews posted, but I’ll try to remember to add the links to this page as I post them.
