Reading challenge

I came across this reading challenge recently. It was intended as a goal for 2017.

As it is now March and I have commitments with books I have promised to review, I decided to look back over those I have read since first beginning to write reviews and see what that leaves me as goals for the rest of this year.

Anyone want to join me? 


 







Here is my list.

A book you read in school	The Secret Garden. It’s the only one I can remember from school. Does that say something? Review not yet published
A book from your childhood	The Bobbsey Twins Forest Adventure – currently my bedtime reading.
A book published over 100 years ago	Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Peter Pan was a childhood favourite and having recently watched Finding Neverland I decided to begin reading all of Barrie’s Pater Pan stories. Currently reading

That leaves two categories I can’t tick off: A book that became a film and a book with a character with your first name.

I should be able to easily find a book that became a film but does any know a book with a character by the name of Pam or Pamela. Please let know any recommendations.

A special thank you all the Indie authors I review for and who keep my reading material interesting and varied.
