I've taken on too many challenges as well...failed to finish one on time, so seeing a challenge that is truly up my alley is heartbreaking. I adore biographies and memoirs. Sigh. Should I join or not? Would it be sensible? Probably not. Do I care? Hmmph.

Obviously, you should go for it! It goes for a year, and you can choose how many books you want to read, so it should be a piece of cake, right? Seriously, I'm excited for this challenge.

Your list looks great. I'm considering having the Hiding place as an alternate if I have space. (Though my own list as it is is pretty long.) And I have read the Margaret Mitchell and John Marsh book and absolutely loved it. :)

I'll be looking forward to your reviews.

The Hiding Place is a life-changing book, i think. when i read it several years ago, i was amazed i hadn't read it sooner!

of those on your list, i've also read The Glass Castle. i think you'll enjoy it.

there are so many great possibilities for this challenge! i just posted my "long list" - and i'm already seeing others i'd like to read!

I'm delighted that you have chosen my book, Eden's Outcasts, as an alternate title on your challenge list. If you have any questions or comments about the book, I would be happy to respond. Cheers!

Hi John - I'm so glad you stopped by. I don't have a copy of your book yet, so if you have a spare, I would love to have it :) Once I read it, I'm sure I will have questions - an interview would be great. I'll get back to you.

I love Louisa May Alcott, and I've always thought Bronson sounded interesting, so I'm excited to read your book. It just may take me awhile to get to it.

Thanks again for stopping by!
