Hi, I am new to the world of blogging and have just started my own book blog called
Redheadrambles - it is turning out to be quite fun. I started out with the idea of blogging about the latest book I was reading but this quickly led me to a discovery of "Book Challenges". So here I am - ready to read more Booker Prize winners...(although I think the short-listed books can sometimes be more rewarding). To date I have read 9 / 41 prize winners with my favorites so far being
The Remains of the Day and
The life of Pi. Of the shortlisted books I have read 20, standouts include
Cloudatlas and recently
Mr Pip.
My intention at the moment is to read the books nominated for the "Best of the Bookers". To this end I have reviewed
The Ghost Road and
Disgrace.
Looking forward to the challenge !
Regards
RedHead
Thanks for joining, it's great to have you with us! I agree sometimes the shortlisted books are more rewarding than the winner. I also loved Cloud Atlas; Mitchell is one of my favorite authors. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews!
