A challenge for the new year

Hey everyone,

 I was in the mood for a change.

So, I changed the look of the blog.

This is how I sometimes feel.

So many books, so little time.

Ah, the never ending quest for bookishness.

This is a time of year,

where I start to think about the new one,

year,

 that is.

As far as the blog is concerned I am going to be joining in

I love this picture of Colette.

Such style, such flair.

Btw, if  you haven’t read any Colette you should, she’s  great.

She also happens to be my mom’s favourite writer.

How cool is that!!

Back to the GLBT Challenge,

I got the idea to participate from Cass at http://bonjourcass.com/.

I don’t think I can manage a book every month.

So my goal is six, for the year.

This is the list:

The Price Of Salt by Patricia Highsmith-Because I have always wanted to read it.

Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin-Because in spite of having read tons of James Baldwin, I have never read this novel, a glaring oversight.

Maurice by E.M Forster-Never read any Forster

Normal by Amy Bloom-Just because I really like the title.

The Gilda Stories by Jewel Gomez- Never read any Jewel Gomez

The sixth is to be determined.

Any suggestions?

I like the idea of a little bit of structured as well,

 as whimsy reading.

I will read The Mere Future by Sarah Schulman,

 for the 1 st of December as promised,

 and then I will join this challenge for the new year.

I haven’t decided about any other challenges,

 but, this,

 I am commited to and excited about.

Well, that’s about it.

Later girls
