a fitting tribute

Shortly after the news of Dewey's passing much discussion began about all the ways we could honor the friend we had in her. One of the ideas was to have a book challenge in her name.

Chris from Stuff Dreams Are Made Of and Robin from A Fondness For Reading have put together this great challenge. Thanks for stepping up and doing this.

Not only is it a challenge in her name, but involves the participants in reading from the vast number of books Dewey reviewed on her blog over the past 6 years!

There are two levels-
1. To read one book from each year she blogged.
2. To read any 5 books from her blog.

There is a blog that has been created to host the challenge and you can find it here at Dewey's Books.

I have spent some time combing through the archives over at Dewey's blog. I did not realize she had been blogging for so long. As I browsed around I was pleased to find 5 books that I would love to read! (I am picking level 2)

Here is my list:
1. The Road-finished
(her review: June 23,2007)

2. The Squirrel Mother by Megan Kelso -finished
(her review:September 2007)

3.Coraline by Neil Gaiman-finished
(her review : October 2007)

4.Chocolat by Joanne Harris-finished
(her review :October 2007)

5. Mr.Pip by Lloyd Jones -finished
(her review : December 2007)

Bonus Book: I am planning on reading the book that she was currently reading. It is called The Elegance of the Hedgehog. (finished)
