Random quote: "I believe the way toward mastery of any endeavor is to work toward simplicity; replace complex technology with knowledge. The more you know, the less you need. From my feeble attempts at simplifying my own life I've learned enough to know that should we have to, or choose to, live more simply, it won't be an impoverished life but one richer in all the ways that really matter."

For this challenge, read four (or multiples of four) books that contain a common plot element.  This would be a narrower focus than books that share a subgenre tag.   How you interpret the challenge – and what commonality is shared by the books you choose – is completely up to you.  Good luck and have fun!

 

NOTE: This challenge runs from Jan - Dec 2018. The 2017 challenge will be ongoing through July.

Hi

So I decided to join again this year. Anyone looking at my list of books will probably be able to work out quite easily that my theme is 'music'.
