Thanks to Dewey for hosting this challenge to read 6 books, either winners or shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. I decided to split the challenge and did 3 winners and 3 short list. I will still keep reading these, because the Booker lists appeal to me for some reason. There is a lot more action to do with Bookers over at the Booker Project - trying to read all the Booker Winners, in however long it takes you.
Way to go! Congratulations on finishing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm looking forward to reading Remains of the Day.
ReplyDeleteI just posted about the new Book Awards II challenge as well.
Congratulations! Great list of books you read there.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have stalled out on this challenge so far, oh well, I've still got time.
Congratulations, Raidergirl3! That's great that you enjoyed it so much. :)
ReplyDeletethanks, all. It is so satisfying to make the list, and then cross all the books off. It's all about the lists!
