Unfortunately I can't accept the challenge -- involved in too many artwork challenges, farm challenges, etc. But, I am going to take your list of 5 to both of my bookclubs and see if they might be interested in reading any of them. Thanks for the suggestions.
Sounds interesting. I would like to read more fantasy books.
It's a really great challenge. Good luck with your reading!
Great list of books. Love American Gods! I'm so glad you are joining in! And Carol, there is a one book only option if you would still like to join us!
Glad you are joining in Cathy!
This is such a fun challenge. I hope you enjoy it! You've got some good choices there, and I look forward to your reviews.
