This meme is hosted by Jo @ The Book Jotter, but I didn't know it existed until I read a recent post by Helen @ She Reads Novels and decided it might be fun to also look back on my reading for the first half of the year.
The idea is to choose six categories either from the list that Jo has prepared or your own, then list six books under each category heading. All the details are here if you wish to participate.
I've only read 42 books so far this year which I thought would make it difficult to find six suitable categories. By taking some from Jo's list and adding a couple of my own it wasn't as difficult or as time consuming as I expected. In fact it was a pleasant way to spend an hour. This is my result:

This is a fun meme, isn't it? I like the categories you've chosen. I really need to read more books set in Australia!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun and gives you a quick look at your personal reading trends. I hope Jo offers this meme again next year.
DeleteI'm so glad I found you - fellow catergorizer - through Jo's 6 in 6! This was first year in the meme too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how much fun it would be to categorize the books I'd read until I sat down to do it!
DeleteTo Lisa @ Hopewellslibraryoflife- Thanks for leaving a comment. I had a glitch and your comment was deleted by mistake.
ReplyDeleteMy reply to your comment:
I enjoyed The Lake House. I hope you get to read some of the other Australian books.
I love this meme! You've picked a really interesting mixture of categories. I am also really pleased to see Susanna Kearsley in one of your categories too.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun to do. I love Susanna Kearsley's books. The Winter Sea has become my favourite.
