New Month, New Reading Challenge

But this one's got no time limit, no specific amount of books to read - just a casual list that I know I'll be able to get through, because this challenge is based on the tomes I have in my own little library already: the book list is what's already on the shelves in my bookcase.

I'm basing this off the challenge hosted by Bookish Ardour, for which I'm about twelve months late, but that doesn't matter. The goal here is to read all the books in my bookshelf, whether I've read them before or not, and post the reviews here on this blog as I go. The quirk in this will be that, because I've ordered the books on my bookshelf in alphabetical order, I'll be reading and posting in that order too - just a bit of OCD to round out the reading challenge!

So, that means that the first book I'll be plucking off the shelf is Monica Ali's Alentejo Blue (2006).
