In a letter to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I cannot live without books," and we understand how he felt. Books have been our best friends ever since we can remember and we're going to celebrate our love for them with this 'reading challenge.' The aim is to tick one book off every month!

Although our lives have taken us in different directions, this challenge, and this blog, is also a way for us to celebrate our friendship as well as our love of reading.

This blog is really just for fun and each entry will explain how the 'book of the month' fits into the category, why we made our choices, and include some comments/thoughts on each book.

Let the challenge commence!!

Challenge 13: A Book With A Female Heroine


30976431

Donna's Book: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher (Transworld Digital, 2016)

 Carrie Fisher died just as I came to this challenge, and she is definitely a heroine, both in real life and in her movies.  I was greatly saddened by her loss and reading this seemed like a way to keep a part of her alive.

 After reading this, I was even more sad that Carrie Fisher had died.  Her humour, her courage, her dignity and her honesty shine through every single page.  This was the first of her books that I'd read, but I'll definitely be reading the others.  Carrie Fisher was an amazing woman and the world is poorer without her.  At least, though, we still have her books.
