This challenge really helps to diversify your reading. I’m in need to such motivation as I tend to read only literary fiction. Perhaps I will sign up. It will be a real challenge. Good luck with this in 2012.

Kinna, this challenge and the Mixing It Up one are both helping me to diversify a lot. I’m even hoping to get to some of the African writers that you’ve been telling us about.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nice list Debbie. A fun one for your first category could also be Julian Barnes’ Pedant in the kitchen. It’s short but fun.
