Book Moments: More Challenges...

After an incredibly busy October that included 3 birthdays (all within the same week!)- and one being a Sweet16; all I can say is that I was sooo looking forward to the respite that November would bring. And now that November is finally here, I find myself overloaded with books to read and reviews to write. That’s OK, I love it! In fact, my compulsion has led me to join in 2 more reading challenges. I’m not nuts or anything(well maybe a little) but there is a practical side to me as well..so, I’m making sure that besides the reading-for-fun thing; these also fit my reviewing schedule;

Besides the ones I'm already participating in; which are:

The Jean Plaidy Challenge   

 

 

And The Everything Austen Challenge

I’ve found two more interesting challenges to join:

At Virginie Says,   there’s The Four Month Challenge Part 2

  

‘The challenge will begin on November 1, 2009 and will end on February 28, 2010.  Each book you read can only be used for one category.  You can ‘read’ up to ‘2′ audiobooks if you choose, but you don’t have to.  You can read books you are also reading for other challenges’.   See categories and point system here.  

I have sort of an ongoing list for this challenge- and so far, it looks like this:

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher,Kate Summerscale

The White Queen, Philippa Gregory

an Elena Vidal book, set in France

No Wind of Blame, Georgette Heyer

Gwenhwyfar, Mercedes Lackey

O’Juliet, RobinMaxwell

This next Challenge gives me a bit more time to complete since, like the Plaidy one, it’s a year-long challenge:

Women Unbound   is a book blog related to Women’s Studies and they’ve just announced this challenge for November 2009- November 2010.  I originally learned about this on my friend Lilly’s blog: Reading Extravaganza and thought it would be fun to join; especially since all I read is mostly about women in history.

For more info on categories and reads, check it out here. 

 

 

I’ve chosen the Blue Stocking Category and here are my picks so far:

Memoirs of The Empress Josephine, Madame de Remusat (I’m finally going to read this!)

Memoirs of Madame Vigee-Lebrun

Madame de Pompadour

Lucrezia Borgia

(I’m still working on my list…)
