The #Bookaday Challenge

The Borough Press's June #Bookaday Challenge on Twitter is a lovely thing, isn't it?

I thought it might be interesting to keep a weekly blog record, so here are my days 1 - 8

Day 1

My favourite childhood book was Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder, far better than on TV #bookaday pic.twitter.com/2dNyyTe1eh

Day 2

Bought these a few years ago at a jumble sale. I think they were 5p each, so they really were a bargain #bookaday pic.twitter.com/PyDFgp5YZY

Day 3

My #bookaday blue book was written under a pseudonym and inspired many feminists (Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby) pic.twitter.com/FKR4KmAZwP

Day 4 (A bit of a cop out)

Least favourite book by a favourite author? Don't like being negative, so I'm going for Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird* #Bookaday

*Also my most favourite #bookaday

Day 5

Borrowed First They Killed My Father from my friend Liz; harrowing but uplifting Cambodian survival memoir http://t.co/osUr9GIThb #bookaday

Day 6

#bookaday Don't really have one book I always give - try to tailor to the person. Latest was Maggie O'Farrell's Instructions for a Heatwave

Day 7

Book I'd forgotten I owned - illustrated copy of Cranford from 1951, what a lovely thing to rediscover #bookaday pic.twitter.com/Aib3ga1l9E

Day 8

I have no fewer than four copies of Pride and Prejudice! The Pan Classic is my original @BoroughPress #bookaday pic.twitter.com/K0AeD6ZksA
