2011 Fearless Poetry Reading Challenge

This challenge only requires 1 book of poetry to be read.

I can do that. 

I don’t remember the last time that I read a book of poetry. 

 

I needed this. 

I may get buck wild and read 2 books of poetry.

Thanks Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit!

I am considering Pagan Operetta by Carl Hancock Rux. Have you read it? It would also count towards the Quirky Brown Reading Challenge and PoC Reading Challenge.

Follow my progress on the Una's Reading Challenges page.

 

Goal: POC 100 Participants (Yeah, we can do that)

The folks at the POC Reading Challenge are upping the ante this year. They would like to get 100 participants to sign up for the challenge. We can help them do that, can't we? Of course, we can!

You can commit to reading just 1 book to reading as many as 25 books.  Just click on the button below for details. I have signed up for Level 4 (10 -15 books).

Happy Birthday Zora Neal Hurston!

Zora Neal Hurstion was born today (January 7, 1891).   In honor of her birthday, I am reading Wrapped in Rainbows: The Life of Zora Neale Hurston* by Valerie Boyd.  Hurston's novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God is on my TBR list as a scribble - flick combination.

Check out the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts & Humanities – ZORA! festival happening later this month. Are you attending?


*Triple whammy! Counts toward the POC Reading Challenge, 100+ Reading Challenge, and the TBR Reading Challenge.
