Augustus Books

Reading Challenge


At the start of each year we set a book list. there are no prizes and no winner. It is a list for entertainment. The idea is to be inspired and to chat about the books you either have read or are thinking of reading. At the end of the year you then chat about which books you have read that fit each catagory. Catagories are open to interpretation and feel free to argue your point. There are no rules. you can try and read a different book for each cataory or you can try and fit as many catagories as you can with a single book. it is up to you. The point is to have fun.

Hope you enjoy.
