The Southern Reading Challenge is hosted by Maggie, and I am so glad to participate in this one. Last year, when I was still a challenge rookie, I discovered this challenge after it started. A day late, a dollar short as Grandpa always said. For this challenge, you must read three books set in the South and written by a Southern author. The challenge begins May 15 and ends August 15.

Pour the sweet tea; here's my reading plan: 

1) Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen by Susan Gregg Gilmore (review)
2) Property by Valerie Martin (review)
3) Becky by Lenore Hart (review)

And some alternates if I have time:
1) The Known World by Edward P. Jones (review)
2) Ecology of a Cracker Childhood by Janisse Ray (review)

Ya'll want to play? Then go down the road a piece to Maggie's blog to learn more about The Southern Reading Challenge 2008!
