Maggie is hosting a new Southern Reading Challenge. You may choose to read any style of Southern book such as Appalachian tales, Civil War sagas, Gothic myths, Grit lit, and heart-wrenching biographies. Just as long as you read three (fiction or nonfiction) between May 15th and August 15th.There will be weekly drawings and contests like last year, but there might not be $50 pecans. Money's tight! To get started, head on over to Maggie's blog and sign up....Still working on my list, but I will try for humor again this year.....1. BOOTLEGGER'S DAUGHTER - Margaret Maron, June 2009

I am so ready for this challenge. I've just been waiting for Maggie's post and surprise! Today was the day :) I posted a list but there's room for additions - still looking for a southern humor-type novel.
Mary: I am going to shoot for all humor again this year. I got sidetracked last year and meandered. Mary Kay Andrews and Celia Rivenbark and Sweet Potato Queen.
I'm just like Mary: been waiting for the challenge and it almost magically appears. I'm all signed up. I can't wait to see your list. Happy reading!
