Another book challenge, how exciting!!! I decided to join the Unread Authors Challenge hosted by Sycorax Pine after getting a nudge from Debi and reading Wendy's post. (OK ladies, I gave in! LOL.) This challenge will run from September to February.
Another reason I love participating in these reading challenges is not only I can speed up my reading (oh the excitement and not to mention fun), and also I get to know what the other participants are reading and exchange views etc. Anyway, here's my list:

This is a great list you have, Melody. Welcome to the challenge! I think that, of the many tempting books you have listed here, the only author I have read is Cormac McCarthy, and "The Road" (which was very intriguing) is the only work of his I have read to date (I read it a few months ago).
So I am looking forward to hearing what you think of the works on your list!
I am so glad you are joining in, Melody! We will have to compare notes on The Road. :-) I really liked The Kite Runner when I read it and hope you will too. It's an awesome book. I will be reading A Thousand Splendid Suns before the year is out and am looking forward to that.
You have some good reading ahead of you!
Thanks, Pour of Tor! I can't wait for the challenge to begin! ;) I have read great reviews about The Road and am looking forward to reading it. :)
Wendy, I'm glad I joined too! :) I'm feeling excited about all these reading challenges, LOL. I'm looking forward to reading your review on The Road. I decided to pick up The Kite Runner after reading so many great reviews about it, and so does A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Will check back to read your reviews as I haven't heard of any of those authors! Happy reading :)
Sounds like an interesting challenge, Mel. I'm so tempted to participate. Seriously. ;)
I have The Kite Runner in my TBR (hope to get started soon) and have read The Road.
Have fun!!
Thanks, Rhinoa! :)
Hey Alice, I'm glad you joined! Also great to hear we've the same book in our pile. ;)
Yes, Mel. YES! I'm thrilled! :D
