The Pulitzer Project
Ongoing Challenge to Read All the Pulitzer Winners

Michelle at 3M has created a new group blog called The Pulitzer Project for those readers who want to challenge themselves to read all the Pulitzer Prize Winners. There is no time limit – which makes this one very doable for me!

I will be tracking my progress here. I’ve included those I’ve read since 2005. I think I may have read some in high school, but since I can’t remember the details of those books I will be re-reading them.

Visit my page of ALL the Pulitzer Prize winners with links to my reviews.
