Does anyone fancy doing this challenge that I've pinched from Hazel's Reading Group. Hazel's group had been set a challenge to read a book that was in the New York Times Top 10 in the week and year that they were born. Hazel has just read and really enjoyed Love Story by Erich Segal.
1971 This is Hazel's year and what you have to do to find your year is change both the year dates in the address bar. ETA Click on the 1971 in blue for the link to the website.
I looked up mine and I've picked Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin as my challenge. I've no idea when I'm going to read it but I will at some point and will report back.
So the challenge is ~ Choose a book from the week and year that you were born that was in the New York Times Top Ten books.
Good Luck to anyone who fancies giving it a go.
