Paul Emily Ryan (kickbackyak) Hi, should these books we haven't already read? It's no problem if it is, but I'm thinking about joining this and just want to have a better sense of what my plan should be. Cheers :)

Kelly | 725 comments I am going to pledge 10 books....likely 3 authors. I have some authors I love but have never worked through their whole works. I will exclude series from this challenge as I am already doing the series challenge. As of now I am thinking Lisa Genova, Terry Fallis, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Madeleine L'Engle or Ann Patchett as possibilities. I will update my selections as I choose them
