Sheila at Book Journey sponsors this bookish event. She asks us to compose posts of what we are reading to go live on January 1st. You do not need to be done with the book on January 1st, just reading it on January 1st and yes, you can start on the 31st and be reading into the New Year. She will link all our posts on her site so others can visit and cheer us on!
Here's my plan to start the New Year--
I will start off with a vintage science fiction novel: The Purple Cloud by M. P. Shiel (1901). This will help me kick off my 2016 Challenge Year by fulfilling slots for several challenges.

A fun choice! I do hope you like it - would love to see a review :)
I haven't read much vintage sci-fi though I do read more than my share of vintage mysteries. What a perfect book to start off with! I love that it's helping with several challenges.
I don't usually read Sci-Fi, but I love the title of this one. Enjoy! Here is my FIRST BOOK OF 2016 POST
I'm an eclectic reader too! It's fun to explore different genres. I hope you love The Purple Cloud. Happy reading!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts about this book....
Great start for the year.

Deb: I had never heard of Shiel before I found this in the vintage section of Half Price books.
Sounds like you're off to a good start. Yay for checking off challenge spots already! Happy New Year!
I'm glad you are enjoying your vintage book. I have a shelf full of vintage books, I always forget about them, Since I'm not joining any challenges this year, I need to make myself a challenge this year to read a few of my vintage books. Happy Reading 2016 Year.
