Welcome to the fourth thread of the 50 Book Challenge for this year.

The challenge is to read fifty books (or more!) in 2017, though reading fifty isn't mandatory. Any type of book can count, it's not too late to join, and please try to let us all know your thoughts on what you've read.

The first thread of the year is here, the second one here, and the third thread here.

What are you reading?

No disappointing ones yet this year, and so far an (unintentional) exact 50/50 split between male and female authors Smile

Checking in on new thread. A little way into On Liberty by Shami Chakrabati, but going to look out my Sylvia Plath collection before continuing it & see if I have the bee poems Satsuki mentioned.

I'm also a few chapters into The Devil in the Marshalsea on audio, and slightly regretting having chosen it, I think it might have been better as a paper read. At least hopefully it means it'll last me the month :)

Thank you for the new thread.

I turned on the wifi for my kindle today having forgotten that I bought 6 kindle books for £6 last week. A load of Damien Boyd books - anyone got an opinion? Just got them because they were cheap. Also got a Peter Robinson.
