Last Challenge--At Least That's What I'm Promising Myself!


I know I said I was done adding challenges. But, darn it, some of them are just so tempting! Like this one, hosted by Trish of Hey Lady! Whatcha Reading?, which challenges the reader to read books by Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, Leo Tolstoy, Ernest Hemingway, and John Steinbeck. Since I was already reading Atwood's "A Handmaid's Tale" and Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" for other challenges, I figured this one was easy. Maybe too easy. So to actually make it a challenge, and because the whole challenge is centered around Oates, I'm adding Oates' "We Were The Mulvaneys." You'll notice I was not crazy enough to throw any Tolstoy in there!

  3. I think challenges are addictive. I've told myself that too and have added two since. Good luck with all of your challenges!

  5. I laughed at your 'last challenge' statement because I said the same thing and I joined another one today.

  6. Well, I always find a way to throw in more challenges when they seem to not add in too much extra stuff! Good for you!
