I first saw this at She Reads Novels, but it was created by Fictionphile.
Simple Rules:
1. Spell out your blog’s name.
2. Find a book from your TBR that begins with each letter.
3. Have fun!
So here goes (all classic novels):
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Hard Times by Charles Dickens
Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout
Candide by Voltaire
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
One Lonely Night by Mickey Spillane
Scoop by Evelyn Waugh
Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
Rabbit (series) by John Updike
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
I also attempted this with books I’ve read. I couldn’t quite pull it off sticking only with classic novels. I don't think Roverandom or Ender’s Game can really be considered classics, while Evidence that Demands a Verdict is non-fiction.
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Nineteen-Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
One-Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
Every Living Thing by James Herriot
Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust
Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell
Great lists! I only used TBR books for mine and didn't try it with books I'd already read. I'm pleased to see you have East of Eden and Rebecca on your TBR as I loved both of those.
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I'm looking forward to them, but truthfully, all of these. :)
DeleteO Pioneers found it's way onto my list too - great that you managed to make 2 lists from this meme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brona.
DeleteThis was soo fun, thank you! What great classics you have!! My post will be up tomorrow, but I had fun doing this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joann; I'll watch for your list
DeleteFun meme--I may give it a try, but my blog name is so long and with all those ING endings, it'll be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a long one, but c'mon...I bet you've got a long TBR!
