TEA & BOOKS Reading Challenge



For 2013, I have decided to participate in the TEA & BOOKS Reading Challenge! This challenge encourages us to read ... books with more than 650 pages!

Did I join this challenge because of the nice button for the challenge? Was I swayed because I love tea? That and more. My husband also encouraged me to read a couple of extra large chunksters this year, and pointed out this challenge to me.

The books may be:
  • Either fiction and non fiction books!
  • Short story collections, anthologies or collected works in one volume are allowed!
  • Re-reads are OK (though preferably you should read one of those unread tomes that have been collecting dust on your shelves)!
  • Books with more than 1,200 pages will count for two books!
Visit this post at at The Book Garden to check out the rules and join in.

I am joining at the 2 Book level (Chamomile Lover). I am really a black tea drinker, but no way I am going to read more than two books of that length this year.

I have two books in mind, but reserve the right to change my mind:
The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox (fiction, historical mystery)
The Third Reich in Power by Richard J. Evans (non-fiction, history)
