Sara Nisha Adam's The Reading List came highly recommended from one of my groups of reading buddies, who I call The Book Homies. The Book Homies and I throw around so many books it is hard to keep up. I add a lot of them to my To Be Read list and never look back. But The Reading List was different. I love books about books or books about bookstores or books about libraries. This is a book about books, libraries and a reading list. A match made in heaven. The gist is that a reading list by an unknown author brings together an unlikely group of folks who live in a London suburb. I was pretty excited because I've read all but two of the ten books on the list but the last one is a 1,000 page book I've never heard of so I likely won't be reading that.

Anyway, after reading The Reading List, I told The Book Homies we should make reading lists and leave them all around our towns. Then it occurred to me I could send them out on my postcards. So, over two weeks, I wrote out 44 postcards with the first installment of my own reading list. I created a list of 15 of my favorite books and broke that into three sections. It is a pain in the ass to write the same list 44 times on a postcard so I will definitely be spreading these out! I happen to have two sets of the Bibliophilia postcards though which means I have TWO HUNDRED of them to get rid of. This seems to be a great use of them.

Did you receive a postcard? Had you already read any of these books? Do you plan to now? Lets discuss!
