Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to join any more challenges. Heck, I'm hardly making a dent in two of the challenges I joined already. But this one is the National Book Award Challenge and these are really, really good books which I should read. And you only have to read one book by the end of the year to win a bronze medal. I haven't earned a medal in anything in years and years. So I signed up. One of the books on this list is Julia Glass' "Three Junes" which I happen to already own. Anytime I can be forced into chiseling into Mount TBR, it's a good thing.
Sound intriguing? To find a list of the books eligible for this challenge or to sign up, click on this link above. Thanks to Rachel at A Bohemian's Book Reviews and Amanda at Life and Times of a "New" New Yorker for sponsoring this challenge!

ReplyDeletejeeeeez. I already have too much to do and now I had to read this. And I can't turn down a challenge. going to go check out the list...
ReplyDeleteWhew that's a long list of books! :) If you haven't read Cold Mountain yet, enjoy. It's such a beautiful book. Shipping News? Still trying to figure out how that won so many awards.
ReplyDeleteThree Junes was Glass' debut, am I right? I think that that's the one I loved. (of course, if I cant' remember it, how do I know I loved it?!) I'll have to wait for your review! enjoy, C
ReplyDeletecan't wait to read your review of Three Junes. I read this one a while ago... I will keep my opinion to myself :) (don't worry, it's not horrible).
ReplyDeleteOh yay!!! I didn't think anyone else was going to join the challenge. So cool!!
ReplyDeleteI might do it again this year. There are so many books on the list I have never read. Thanks!
