Nice list, Julie! I have read several of yours but still quite a few I could add to my list. I wanted to tell you that I just finished "The Stone Diaries" and really liked it! Enjoy -- this book & your whole challenge :)
Thank you Terris. I've been wanting to read The Stone Diaries for years. The way to make sure I finally do, is to put it on a challenge

I read The Hotel New Hampshire from my moms bookshelf when I was a teenager. I bought it for my own bookshelf years ago meaning to reread it, so now I put it on this challenge to make sure I finally do.

I'm going to have to add The Hotel New Hampshire to by TBR list :)

Ahh, and .... The Hotel New Hampshire, had to tbr it. Sounds great :D
Well - looks like I didn't update this thread all year ;)I've done quite well - just one book to go and I will have finished them all-
I requested The Edible Woman as an audio book from the library (CD's) - don't know when I'll actually get it so I might not finish that one before the end of the year...
Congrats, Julie. Since you read all but one alternate, you completed the challenge even if you don't read the last book. I hope you enjoyed your choices.
