One more reading challenge to include for next year for me. A topic that has always been dear to my heart.
Goal:
The project works a little like an informal reading group: for the whole of 2011, we’ll be reading a book a month from a list of classic feminist fiction and non-fiction (see below).
fyi: you don’t have to commit for the whole twelve months – you’re more than free to pick only the books you’re interested in.

I agree with Enid; and you do a beautiful job with keeping your blog/events so organized as well (you make me sick! LOL - just kidding!)
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the Beauty Myth and have meant to read that one.
Looks like some interesting reads happening.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely awesome challenge!

Looks like a great challenge. My resolution this year is no challenges! I need to read what I own this year. I'll be looking forward to the reviews!

ReplyDeleteWow, I admire you for all challenges you are taking on!
ReplyDeleteI am just reluctant because I don't want to to NOT finish them, but my time may be scarce this year and changing jobs is a blah atm..so yeah! XD
