Southern Reading Challenge Three
May 15 – August 15, 2009
Maggie from Maggie Reads is once again hosting her very popular Southern Reading Challenge for 2009. She writes:
It’s that time of year!
The time when you pour a glass of lemonade or sweet tea and take your official summer spot on the porch. Lean back in that chase lounge surrounded by geraniums and ferns, and begin the summer long journey into Southern culture.
Participants may choose to read any style of Southern book such as Appalachian tales, Civil War sagas, Gothic myths, Grit lit, etc… The goal is THREE BOOKS in three months. As she did last year, Maggie will be holding weekly drawings and contests.
Looks like I’ll have plenty to choose from! =)
