Birth Year Reading Challenge 2019

Going to try this one again, getting at least three books from 1971.


Here we go again! The Birth Year Reading Challenge returns for another year!

What makes this challenge different from the others out there? In a word: PRIZES! Here at the Hotchpot Cafe, everybody wins.

Special thanks to Steven Depolo for permission to use his photo!

BIRTH YEAR READING CHALLENGE

What books were published the year you were born? This challenge encourages you to find out, and then read some of them. You might even draw some conclusions about what was going on in the literary world that year.

Wikipedia and GoodReads.com have lists of books by year published. Literary prize lists are a great source, and searching “best books of ______” will also give you interesting results. (Feel free to comment and suggest other sources!)




My Books:
  1. Journey to Topaz--Yoshiki Uchida
  2. That Was Then, This is Now--S.E. Hinton
  3. Maigret and the Informer--Georges Simenon


Challenge completed on October 25
