Beth, I made a mistake putting up my link. It's up there three times:3, 4, 5. Number 5 is the best link. Sorry to cause an error.
Two is also wrong.
I finished The House of Mirth (by Edith Wharton) yesterday along with a blogger friend of mine; and we were just discussing what we thought "the word" might be! Tomorrow we're discussing Lily Bart vs Jane Eyre and, also "Oh, Lily!" moments (a.k.a "Is Lily stupid or what?" (I contend that she is, but I suspect my blogger friend is going to defend her!)) Later on, we're going to watch the movie together a la tweetchat. The more I think about this book, the more I marvel at the story's construction and Edith Wharton's writing. I haven't sorted out all my thoughts on the book yet, at least not enough for a review, but I do highly recommend it, especially as a book club selection: There are a lot of things to talk about! :-)
I finally got it together enough to write a review for The House of Mirth! :-)
I have chosen Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austin and Seth Grahame-Smith for this category.
I am using Cat Spitting Mad for emotion. The cover of the book really shows a cat mad.
Another book done for the challenge, this sees me half way through the challenge and this one was one of my favourites.
For the Emotion category, I read Blue Murder by Emma Jameson (book #2 in the Lord & Lady Hetheridge mystery series).
Looks like everyone is haveing fun with this category. There are some I never would have looked at as emotion, but they certainly are. I seemed to get stuck, with love, or hate, or anger or sorrow. I really like looking at all the choices.
I'm guessing 'wonder' counts as an emotion..? I think so.
I think 'lonely' counts as an emotion. Also planning on reading Joy for Beginners. I'm finally starting the challenge!
I had been planning to read Kissed a Sad Goodbye for my "emotion" book, but when I wrote my post on Bitter Brew I realized that bitter is an emotion so I went with that. Fascinating book!
I'm now halfway into the challenge! And I had to misspell the title :-(
Book #5 just posted and on to the final one for this years challenge!
I read Joy in the Morning by P.G. Wodehouse. :)
Love Does, by Bob Goff. The best, most inspiring book I've read this year!
Tamara Levine’s But Hope is Longer: Navigating the Country of Breast Cancer was definitely an emotional read for this category, but well worthwhile. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I just added my review for If Jack's In Love, which may be one of my favorite books I've read this year. Thanks again for hosting this challenge!
