Artful Readers Club ~ Sophie

Last year I kept a note of all the books I read throughout the year.  I managed 25 which I'm really pleased with.  I still have more than a few in my 'to read' pile and a rather extensive and ever-increasing amazon wish list. 
 
So.....I've decided to join in with Darcy's 'Artful Readers Club' challenge at Art and Sole.
 
The challenge is to pick 12 books to read through the year and then each month read one, write a review and make a piece of artwork inspired by the book.  My list is....
  
1. 'A Game of Thrones' by George R. R. Martin
2. 'I Left My Tent In San Francisco' by Emma Kennedy
3. 'Planet Walker: 22 Years of Walking, 17 Years of Silence' by John Francis
4. 'The Wood Wife' by Terri Windling
5. 'The Gift of Rain' by Tan Twan Eng
6. 'The Loop' by Nicholas Evans
7. 'Borrowed Light' by Joolz Denby
8. 'Boneland' by Alan Garner
9. 'Lady of Shades' by Darren Shan
10. 'Solar Storms' by Linda Hogan
11. 'Wave Hunter' by Beth Webb
12. 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone' by Laini Taylor
 
I think I'm going to start with 'Boneland' on audio.

  9. Left My Tent in San Francisco is a great title, so looking forward to that review. Daughter of Smoke and Bone - great title too. Don't know any of these, but they all look good and can't wait to see the reviews - looks like I'd better hibernate for a while after 25th January so that I can get to see everybody's reviews and artwork.
