I'm contemplating this challenge but don't know yet. How many are you joining next year?
I'm going insane - there are so many good ones and I can't stop joining :)
Anyway, you have some great choices on here so have fun!
Iliana - I think I have 8 challenges lined up so far, but a lot of my choices overlap each other. I don't really expect to finish them all!
Ooo! I see we have some books in common for this one. :-) Your first three are on my list, although Niffenegger's is on my alternates list.
I hope you enjoy Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. It was my favorite last year. And I really liked Moloka'i which I read this year.
literary feline - the english patient has been sitting on my shelf for years. I started reading it once but didn't get very far. Hopefully I'll be motivated to try again sometime next year!
