Yay, Trish! This is going to be fun!
Love the button! And it should be fun, especially with the bonus...
cjh
yay!
Everyone--YAY! I'm not sure that I set the challenge up the best way--not having a Mr. Linky for another few weeks, but hopefully things will turn out. Thanks for your support!!
I'm sure it will work out just fine - I'm already impressed by your organisation, creativity and bravery!
Ok I'm in! I was thinking about reading Wuthering Heights and Little Women - and the Green Gables books - so I may as well take the challenge and ensure I do it right!
I'm suggesting The Book Thief or any of the Harry Potter books for future classics.
BTW Good on you for running a challenge - I'm thinking about ideas for one myself as I'd love to organise one :)
*karen - I think the keyword there is bravery. ;) In the end I'm sure everything will pan out, but I'm sure I'll also learn some things for next time!
*mrs s - All great picks for the challenge! I'm glad you'll be onboard.
Wow Trish--what a great challenge! I have no idea what I'm going to read yet, but it'll be fun to figure out! You were an extremely busy girl this weekend--creating a challenge AND finishing a book AND spending time browsing other blogs--I'm impressed!
*Laura - but no CRIS... I'm feeling very behind right now with everything, but hopefully I'll catch up soon. I fell asleep during all my shows last week (surprise surprise) so I have those to catch up on also. Bleh! Doesn't make reading All the King's Men all that appealing!
Glad this one isn't starting until July... that will give me just enough time to finish up on some other challenges.
*Kim - no worries! It is still 2 months away--but if you have a bonus suggestion I'd love to go ahead an add it to the list! Um, I guess if you haven't perused the challenge blog you probably don't know what I'm talking about--well go see! :P
Oh yeah...you know me!! I'll be in for this one!!
Stephanie - Sweet!! When you have some free time, pop by the challenge site and read about the bonus round...I know you'll have some great suggestions for "future" classics!
OH! I am so in with this one! Hey, by the way! I am Harry! Super cool blog!
*Daydream (Henry) - glad you'll be joining us! :)
Glad to be here! And it's actually Harry. I wouldn't like to confuse you later on.
