Shut Up & Read discussion

Reviving this one from last year:

Something Old, Something New

The Rules: Read books that correspond to the rhyme in the following ways:

Something Old:
Read the oldest TBR on your list (by date added - if there are a bunch from that day, just choose one.)
Read a book that was written more than 10 years ago.

Something New:
1. Read the latest TBR book you've added (the last one you put on your list - before June began!)
2. Read a book that was released this year, or an ARC

Something Borrowed:
1. Read a book that a friend recommended
2. Read a book from your local library (or one that takes place in a library)

Something Blue: (check out the BOTM!)
1. Read a book with a blue cover or the word "blue" in the title.
2. Read a "sad" book or a book with a melancholy theme.

And a Sixpence in her shoe:
1. Read a book that is written by a British author or set in a country where the sixpence was used.


Easy: Any three options. (3)
Medium: One of the options from each category (5)
Hard: Both options from each category (and one from the final category) (9)

Have fun!

I'm in. I will post books later.
