Last year I participated for the first time to ‘Six in Six’ (read that post here). This meme is organized by Jo of The Book Jotter. The concept is to list six books that you’ve read during the first six months of 2022 in six categories of your own choosing. The categories can be anything, you can find a lot of inspiration in Jo’s sign up post.
It was a hard edition to find categories that made me able to use each book at least once, in which I succeeded :). I reused some of last year’s categories and made up a few new ones.
Six books set in a different century






- The wolf den (1ste century)
- The flame bearer (10th century)
- Heresy (16th century)
- The hemlock cure (17th century)
- Lord John and the hand of devils (18th century)
- Villette (19th century)
Six books not set in England






- The house with the golden door (Italy)
- Anna Karenina (Russia)
- Labyrinth (France)
- Wildevrouw (Belgium)
- The bell in the lake (Norway)
- Elektra (Greece)
Six books about a historical woman






- The people’s princess (Princess Charlotte and Lady Diana)
- The rebel daughter (Bridget Cromwell)
- A tapestry of treason (Constance of York)
- The Tudor Crown (Margaret Beaufort)
- I, Eliza Hamilton (Eliza Hamilton)
- The heretic wind (Mary Tudor)
Six books written by a male author






- The trial (Franz Kafka)
- The flame bearer (Bernard Cornwell)
- The last protector (Andrew Taylor)
- Wildevrouw (Jeroen Olyslaegers)
- The bell in the lake (Lars Mytting)
- Divided souls (Toby Clemens)
Six beautiful covers






6 stories that are famous from television






- And then there were none (miniseries based on this book)
- Labyrinth (miniseries based on this book)
- Lord John and the hand of devils (character in the Outlander tv series)
- Elektra (The Trojan War has been adapted for television many times)
- Anna Karenina (many major adaptions)
- I, Eliza Hamilton (Hamilton, the musical – available on Disney+)
I’m curious to see if you have made up a ‘Six in six’ post too. Please share the link in the comments below.
I love taking part in this meme, but it’s always more difficult than it sounds. I like your choice of categories – well done for succeeding at using each book at least once! Those six covers are beautiful, particularly The Leviathan and Ariadne. My Six in Six post should be up tomorrow.

I’ve written a few books with really lovely covers indeed, so I had to make a category of that.

This is a lovely selection of books and covers. I have read and enjoyed The Tudor Crown, A Tapestry Treason and Kingmaker: Divided Souls in previous years. Here is my own Six in Six post for this year: https://thebookwormchronicles.wordpress.com/2022/07/05/%f0%9f%93%9a-six-in-six-my-2022-edition/ 🙂
