Well-Seasoned Reader Challenge

I found another interesting challenge. This one runs from Jan to March 2009 and need to read three books for it. Sounds do-able and fun.


Rules:

Rule #1: The challenge runs from January 1 to March 31. (No cheating and starting before!)

Rule #2: You must read three books. After that, it's up to you how much you want to read.

Rule #3: The books must:




have a food name in the title
OR
be about cooking/eating
OR
have a place name in the title
OR
be about one (or more) person's travel experience
OR
be about a specific culture
OR
be by an author whose ethnicity is other than your own (see, I squeezed it in!)

I'll leave it up to you to choose how the three books you read fit the criteria.

Rule #4: They must be middle-grade on up, but can be either fiction or non-fiction.

The purpose, this winter, is to take yourself someplace out of the ordinary, to go on a literary trip, whether that be challenging your expectations, discovering a new place, or enjoying the experience of reading about good food, places, and people


My books:

1. Mangoes and Quinces by Carol Field
2. A Good Year for Plums by Bailey White
3.Sweet Revenge by Diane Mott Davidson

Interesting list -- I don't think I've heard of any of those books. I'm looking forward to learning about them! Thanks for joining up!
