Thanks again to Dana for this challenge.  I’m not sure if she moved the site of the challenge or just got busy because her last update was way back in January.  The deadline is for November 15th.
I finished this challenge awhile ago but never did a wrap-up for it.
I read 4 books:

1. Stealing Athena by Karen Essex-464 pages
2. The Kingmaking by Helen Hollick- 568 pages
3. Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly
4. The Help By Kathryn Stockett

September 1, 2009-September 1, 2010

Jennie of Biblio File is hosting this challenge to learn more about China.

Here’s what she says about it:

We hear about China all the time in the news. It has one of the richest and longest literary histories in the world. It’s a huge and changing country, and there are a million books out there to enjoy. In order to help us understand China, join the China Challenge!

Okay, I know I am in too many challenges but I have to do this one. Besides, there are many different levels of participation and I plan to do the easiest one:

Armchair Traveler: Read 1 book about China. I’m defining this pretty loosely, but the majority of the action should take place in China. For the sake of ease, places such as Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Taiwan count.



See, easy! In fact it’s so easy that I think some of you, my blogging friends should join the challenge. Come on, you know you want to. All you have to do is click on the lanterns about to go to the challenge.
I haven’t decided which book I will be reading for this yet but I’ll update this post when I decide.

Here’s what I will read:

Our Hart: Elegy for a Concubine by Lloyd Lofthouse
