Oma kirjahylly -haaste 2017

Jokaisella täällä on varmaan kotikirjastossaan kirjoja, jotka aina sivuutetaan uusien kirjastolainojen tieltä. Tässä haasteessa luetaan juuri näitä kirjoja, jotka ovat odottaneet lukemistaan jo liian kauan.

Haasteen tavoitteena on siis lukea vuoden 2017 aikana 12 kirjaa omasta kirjahyllystään ja näiden kirjojen yhteissivumäärän tulisi ylittää 3000 sivua (eli keskimäärin 250 sivua), jotta paksut kirjat eivät tulisi jälleen sivuutetuiksi ohuempien ja nopeampilukuisten tieltä. Kuusi (6) näistä kirjoista on valittava ja lukittava sunnuntaihin 8.1. 2017 mennessä, mutta loput kuusi voi valita vuoden aikana.

NOVEMBER - PAIRED BOOKS
Duration: November 1, 2017 to November 30. 2017

November’s theme is togetherness, and in honor of that theme, for this challenge read paired books, books that are connected in some way. It could be the same author, same series, a common word, a common theme, same setting and so on and so forth - anything really as long as there's a link. You can even be really creative and pick books you wouldn't normally think go together.
