Becky from Becky’s Book Reviews is hosting yet another Challenge! The Presidential Reading Challenge is set up to allow participants to pick a level of reading which suits their needs.
Heres how the challenge works:
For levels I through 3, readers are asked to read books which are either “fiction or nonfiction, for adults or for children.They need to be about a president or first lady or in someway connected to the President (children, pets, other relatives, friends, etc.) The book can be written from other points of view–from a servant, slave, friend, aide, employee, etc.–but the President and/or someone from his family would need to enter into it at some point.”
I am going to participate in Level one:
Level one: Commit to reading ONE book between July 4, 2008 and November 4, 2008.
The book I plan to read for the challenge is (subject to change):
Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy by Annette Gordon-Reed
Welcome to the challenge. 🙂 You asked a question on my post, and I thought I’d answer it here. If you decide to switch levels that is fine with me. 🙂 And the reverse is also true, by the way, if anyone decides to downgrade they can.
Thanks Becky!
Wow, another one! I’ll look forward to your review. One sounds like about the right number for a presidential challenge, to me!
I thought so too Bookfool. Especially with all of the other challenges I’m in.
Since I’m a citizen of both sides of the boarder and already doing the Canadian challenge I thought it only fair that I do a U.S. one as well.
