If you are participating in the Judging More Than Just The Cover 2020 Reading Challenge, here are some ideas for books you can read for March.
March Theme: A book you were supposed to read in high school, but didn't.
This may vary a little depending on what school you went to and what classes you took. Maybe it's just me, but there is something about having a required book to read that makes me not want to read it. I have found that going back and actually reading books I actively avoided growing up [or just read the Cliff Notes version. Is that even a thing any more?] I actually saw the value in (most) of them. So here is my quest to (re)read these "classics". Join me!
Maybe it is a book your peers had to read in a different English class that you always wanted to read. Maybe you read it but didn't quite understand it at the time. Maybe you skimmed it or got away with not reading it at all. Now is your chance!
Here are some of my recommendations for March:
📚A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
📚Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
📚And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie @officialagathachristie
📚Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson @halseanderson
📚The Hobbit by J.R. R. Tolkien
Since I have already read all of those, I will be reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
So let me know which book you are choosing for March! And remember to tag me @judgingmorethanjustthecover and use the hashtag #JudgingMoreChallenge.
