Haruki Murakami Reading Challenge 2011

I have taken an interest in Japanese literature recently and I wanted to discover the work of Haruki Murakami.


The Challenge is hosted on the Haruki Murakami Reading Challenge blog by Tanabata @ In Sprint It Is The Dawn.

I will start modestly by aiming 3 books (Sheep Man level) in 2011 and if I really like the author I shall read more!

I will update the following list with links to my reviews:

British Books Challenge 2011!

My amazing bloggy friend Becky @ The Bookette is hosting a very cool British Books Challenge for 2011.

For more information, read Becky's post on the Challenge here.

The idea is to read British novels (both new releases or older titles!) and since I am a massive fan of British Literature and it isn't a big stretch for me to do this challenge!

Think Jane Austen, JRR Tolkien, George Orwell, William Shakespeare, Mary Shelley, the Brontë sisters, Bram Stoker, Virginia Woolf, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett or J. K. Rowling! If you haven't signed up for the Challenge, go sign up now :) There are even some great prizes every month to be won!

Since I live in the UK, I will do the Home Grown challenge! 

My list (to be updated!):

1. Almost True, by Keren David (my review here)
