Six Degrees of Separation – Island Read

Six Degrees of Separation – Island Read

Greetings you guys! It’s 2023 and this year we are going to try our best not to miss a single Six Degrees of Separation post. It really can’t be that difficult. Only 12 to do. For those of you who don’t know this fun monthly meme, it’s hosted by Books are my favorite and Best and here’s a few tips and ideas: Books can be linked in obvious ways – for example, books by the same authors, from the same era or genre, or books with similar themes or settings. Or, you may choose to link them in more personal ways: books you read on the same holiday, books given to you by a particular friend, books that remind you of a particular time in your life, or books you read for an online challenge. A book doesn’t need to be connected to all the other books on the list, only to the ones next to them in the chain. The fun thing about this meme, is that no two chains are ever the same and the directions the links can go to, are endless. The first startup book for 2023 is a book we have actually read! Whoo hoo! Finally. […]
