Lizzy Siddal: Sorry for my late response to your question…I’ve been out of town for weeks caring for a sick relative and have been having a hard time keeping up on my blog. Congrats on finishing the challenge! I am planning to host this again in 2011. Watch for sign ups in January

I came looking for the wrap-up post but it appears I forgot to sign-up in the first place! And this year, I did remember the August deadline as well.

My theme was blogger recommendations – here’s what I read.

1) Blood Red, Snow White – Marcus Sedgwick (Recommended by gaskella).
2) Hearts And Minds – Amanda Craig (Recommended by dovegreyreader).
3) The Snows of Yesteryear – Gregor von Rezzori (Recommended by A Common Reader)
4) The Woman on the Green Bicycle – Monique Roffey (Recommended by Other Stories)
5) After The Fire, A Still Small Voice – Evie Wyld (Recommened by Reading Matters)

Reviews for all but the first are on my blog.

Are we doing this again next year? I have already know what my theme will be …..

A Themed Reading Challenge?? How wonderful!!
That’s the perfect excuse to read lots of “Books About Books” as I’ve planned to do some weeks ago *_______*
As a devote fan of books, that seemed to be the perfect theme to be chosen

Can’t wait for the 14th ^_______^

Just signed up with a theme of “Linkages”–each book either has an epigram or provides the epigram for another book on the list. So far I have 3 pairs.

I’m so glad you’re doing this challenge again!
