Reading Theme of October, 2020

 Gift

Dudley Dursley in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" movie (2001)

Well, would you look at that... another new month is about to start! For this spooky month of October, the random number generator has been generous enough to assist me once again with choosing the reading theme. The Chosen One for these upcoming 31 days is number four, which means I will be reading a book that was gifted to me. Generally, I'd say I'm neither bad nor good at reading books that people have given to me. Some of them have, however, been sitting on my shelves for a long while. Perhaps those will be lucky now, if I decide to pick them up ;)
"Gift" will now be replaced by "Sci-fi".

I really can't recommend you any books to read this month, because I don't know what books you've been given. What I will do, though, is shout out some good books that I've been gifted and have actually read:

• "Jellicoe Road" by Melina Marchetta
• "Rubinröd" ("Ruby Red") by Kerstin Gier
• "Stormswept" by Helen Dunmore
• "Frost" ("Shiver") by Maggie Stiefvater
• "Sent i november" ("Moominvalley in November") by Tove Jansson

And here are some gifted books that I have yet to read:

• "Silver Shadows" by Richelle Mead
• "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson
• "Brotherhood" by Oliver Bowden
• "En gentleman i Moskva" ("A Gentleman in Moscow") by Amor Towles
• "The Woman in White" Wilkie Collins

Well, that's an ominous colour theme if I've ever seen one. I look forward to diving into one or two of these bad boys. And yes, "Silver Shadows" is under 400 pages long, but I might be too impatient to wait until next year to read it. We'll see.
Happy reading!
