    I didn't mean to sign up for so many challenges this year, but I found so many to fit my TBR pile. I am all for killing two birds with one stone...lol!

    Did you hear about the Chick Lit one? Since I have three in my TBR pile, I'm signing up for that one too.

  3. Jumping for Joy! I'm thrilled you are in and ready to read. I'm currently rereading High Cotton for a real journal review and find I love it all over again. :) I won't add it to my NF5 cause I have so many science books for that one. ;D

  4. Oh my! I am glad I visited you today, Joy! It's not like I need more challenges or anything, but I saw this on people's blogs when I was cruising around the blogsphere in December reading peoples challenge wrap up posts. I thought then it looked like fun challenge but didn't know if it would be done again this year. I used to read a lot of southern fiction and my daughter to this day thinks that is all I read! Ha! Little does she know how much I have branched out. :)
    Looking forward to heading over to Maggie's and signing up.

  6. Maggie ~ That's good to know! I'm not sure if I'm going to read it though. There is not one copy in our HUGE library system.

    Kim ~ I'm so glad you stopped by and saw Maggie's challenge, too! I was late in signing up last year because I really didn't know of any books to read. :) I ended up liking my choices, though. I'm looking forward to this beginning; however, I won't be able to start one of the books for a little while. I'm interested in seeing your list.

    Mary ~ YAY! Glad you're joining in on the fun. I'll come by and see your list.

  7. How do I do a link for my book reviews for the May 15-August 15 Southern Reading Challenge? I just finished my first book.

  8. Nan ~ Click here to go to Maggie's Mister Linky for the FIRST book only.

  9. Nan ~ I just realized that you may not know how to link just the review. If that's the case, all you do is click on the time (at the bottom of your post) and just that post will come up. You copy that address for the URL link.

  11. Maggie ~ Should I link my post twice?
