In September, I am trying another 30-in-30 challenge where I read 30 books during the month. Last month’s attempt was unsuccessful but based on how I did in the 2 weeks that I did read, I think I can do it better this time. So far, I’ve identified some books that I want to include in that number and those titles are listed below. Based on my progress, I’ll also include some titles from my unread shelf as the month goes on, perhaps the shortest books I can find if I really need to pad the numbers 😉
- Greed /Elfriede Jelinek
- Flights /Olga Tokarczuk
- Milkman /Anna Burns
- Schindler’s Ark /Thomas Keneally
- The Remains of the Day /Kazuo Ishiguro
- The English Patient /Michael Ondaatje
- History of The Rain /Niall Williams
- The Old Devils /Kingsley Amis
- The Bone People /Keri Hulme
- The Far Field /Madhuri Vijay
- Rites of Passage /William Golding
- Rites of Passage /Helmsley
- The Imperfectionists /Tom Rachmann
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s /Truman Capote
- The Word for World Is Forest /Ursula K. Le Guin
- The Warmth of Other Suns /Isabel Wilkerson
- The Watsons Go To Birmingham / Christopher Paul Curtis
- Happiness / Aminatta Forna
- A Place for Us / Fatima Farheen Mirza
- Miguel Street / V. S. Naipaul
- Holiday / Stanley Middleton
- Difficult Women /Roxane Gay
- The General In His Labyrinth /Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Quichotte / Salman Rushdie
- Men and Gods / Rex Warner

During the month, I’ll update this list so that a red highlight indicates that I have finished reading the book, with a link to my review if I have posted one.

30 books in a month? That’s impressive. The most I’ve ever managed is 21!

Thanks for the comment, Bev. I’ve never read 30 books in a month either so I don’t know that I can actually do it so it will be interesting to see how much focus it requires and whether it actually happens. Stay tuned!
