You've picked some wonderful books for the Book Award Challenge. I think you are going to enjoy this one. I'm looking forward to it starting.
I know, it seems agreat way to read some of those books I have wanted to read for a long time but never got round too!
By the way where do I find the logo thingy for that and the Something About Me challenge?
I don't know how to leave links within comments so I don't know if this will work. Let's find out.
Something About Me
Book Awards Challenge
That first link isn't quite right. Let's try this one instead.
Something About Me
I hope that helps.
Thank you, right off to see how to put it in the sidebar now!
If you need help, let me know. I'll give you my e-mail and I can probably give you more detailed instructions. (at least I hope I can. My hubby helped me.)
I had to join this one, too. I wish I would have thought of The Book Thief! I'm dying to read that.
And speaking of challenges, thanks for your encouragement in this crazy 48 hour challenge!
kookiejar yes please! I am going through page elements looking for ones that will let me add a picture and a list but none seem to do that!
Dewey, no problem I am really enjoying your posts!
e-mail me at kookiejar at hotmail dot com
Thanks for stopping by..glad to know I'm not alone in the struggle. Keep coming by.
Great choices!
You've got some EXCELLENT books!! The Book Thief is one of the best books I've EVER read! I loved The Handmaid's Tale and American Gods as well!! I have a few of the others on my reading list!!
These challenges are addicting aren't they? This should be a fun one though. You've chosen some great books. I really enjoyed Jonathan Strange, Small Island, The Handmaid's Tale.
Oh, this is a tempting challenge ...
Good luck! You've got some great books on your list.
