Reading challenge of 2017


Link for it here http://www.helmet.fi/fi-FI/Tapahtumat_ja_vinkit/Vinkit/Helmetlukuhaaste_2017(115505) . Scrolling it down you can find the list in English, Swedish and Russian as well which is very cool.

I'll probably gear my reading list towards this challenge since I'm hoping to broaden my book horizon. I'm used to reading safe books I know I'll love and I miss being a kid who just devoured everything. With the list everyone can join me and share tips for what books you feel fills which categories. Politic one I thought was going to be hard for me but my dad gave me a book to read about our old president, Kekkonen. He was an avid fisher and hunter so that is what the book focuses on but there should be some tidbits of what was happening in Finland from mid 50s to early 80s.

Some will be tricker than others of course and lots of books can fit more than one category. Kekkonen for example could fit the part of book with pictures as well. I was hoping to read my pictured Narnia chronicles for it though, it's been on my bookshelf for years now. I might also have to finally read Sofia's choice as it's from a writer I've only read one book from before.

All this just gets me excited for the New Year. May it be better than 2016 as it was quite tough for us when it comes to losing our icons. Hopefully personally New Year is going to be amazing for everyone. I'll be seeing you all when I'm done reading my first book of the year, whether it's the book about late president or magical world of Narnia, hopefully it's a great one to start of the reading adventure!
