The Big Book Summer Challenge, hosted by Sue at Book by Book, is one of the few challenges I do each year. It's really a no-brainer as I tend to always have a big book or two (+400 pages) on the go. The challenge is Memorial Day to Labor Day.
I started Game of Kings, by Dorothy Dunnett, a week ago. It's the first in her Lymond Chronicles series and is part of my Reading Scotland project.
I also plan to read another historical Scottish book, The Crucible of Secrets, by Shona Maclean.
I have a hankering to reread some of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books since I've been rewatching the TV show.
And, I am almost done with a reread of Tolkien's The Hobbit and am considering a reread of The Fellowship of the Ring. It's been well over 50 years since I read any Tolkien, so it is definitely time for a reread.
In the nonfiction category, I am now committed fully to reading How the Scots Invented the Modern World by Arthur Herman. I opened it in May but didn't actually start reading it until about two weeks ago.
I certainly cannot fathom reading 20 books this summer as many other bloggers are setting out to do, but I know I can handle a few biggies!
Happy Solstice! And happy reading!
