My town’s library runs an annual challenge called “READ ICT”. My town is Wichita Kansas and ICT is our airport code. A post on our group’s Facebook page went viral and now we have LOTS of people who don’t live anywhere near Kansas joining in and I think it is wonderful. And fascinating! And a bit amusing. So many book lovers; the more the merrier!
If you really want to know more, visit the official library page with all the details here.
If you want to see what I will be reading to satisfy this challenge, read on:
- Category 1: a book with a map – River of the Gods by Candice Millard
- Category 2: a book you meant to read last year – Wellness by Nathan Hill
- Category 3: a book about something lost or found – Hand Me Down World by Lloyd Jones
- Category 4: a collection of stories, poems, or essays… – Inciting Joy by Ross Gay
- Category 5: a book by or about someone neurodivergent – Cider House Rules by John Irving
- Category 6: a book set in space – <<<< taking recommendations >>>> but I’m thinking the latest Murderbot
- Category 7: a book someone told you not to read – Florida by Lauren Groff
- Category 8: a book with season in the title – Damnation Spring by Ash Davidson
- Category 9: a book featuring an animal sidekick – <<<< taking recommendations >>>> (but will be looking for a children’s book)
- Category 10: a book with a recipe
- Category 11: a book published in the year you turned 16 – Hotel New Hampshire, another one by John Irving
- Category 12: a book by an indigenous author – Mean Spirit by Linda Hogan
Follow my GoodReads tracking here.
So if you know any good books that also include recipes, recommend – especially if a PIE recipe! I am not worried about this category, I can always read through a cookbook.
AND, if anyone wants to read anything WITH me for a buddy read or buddies-read, let me know.
Oh dear, I just realized that I didn’t even glance at the ToB books for this year to see if any qualify. Other than Wellness, I mean. Well, HUH. Maybe one of those has an animal sidekick?
One more share, I have already baked a pie this year: presenting Sugar Cream Pie aka Hoosier Pie
Happy New Reading Challenge Year! Eat some pie.
