Novels in Verse 2013 Reading Challenge
http://bornbookish.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/novels-in-verse-reading-challenge-sign.html?spref=tw
I am signing up for Haiku (reading and reviewing 1-4 verse novels). I haven’t had the chance to read a lot of verse novels before, but the ones I have read I have liked. Especially the ones by Dorothy Porter. I am open to verse novel suggestions but I will kick off the challenge with Porter’s Akhenaten. It has been on my to read list for an age and is also speculative fiction.
Feel free to participate on your own blog or engage in discussion of chosen books in the comments. The only thing better than reading a good book is sharing it!
Hi Maureen, welcome to the challenge! I hope you get to read some great new verse novels this year =) Thanks for sharing your favorite verse author, I’ll have to look up her books!
She was a very respected Australian verse novelist. I’d reccomend starting with The Monkey’s Mask- crime meets verse. Amazing 🙂
