For your 2010 reading challenge I would like you to read 'Kensuke's Kingdom' by Michael Morpurgo. I know it's a children's book but it is such a moving and powerful story. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

My challenge to you is one of my favourites from the past couple of years, so I obviously hope it'll turn out to be one you enjoy too: Martin Davies's "The Conjuror's Bird".
Best wishes

My sun father,
Now that you have come out standing to your sacred place,
That from which we draw the water of life,
Prayer meal,
Here I give to you.
Your long life,
Your old age,
Your waters,
Your seeds,
Your riches,
Your power,
Your strong spirit,
All these to me may you grant.

All the rated books on my list are alread read, which includes Conjurorer's Bird: my TBR list is all those unrated. I really enjoyed this - gave it 6/6 on my scale (only 2-3 books a year get this), and would recommend it thoroughly, but would be grateful if you could pick one of the unrated books. Thanks!

I did enjoy browsing your library and TBR list - a lot in common with mine: I've only put a small fraction up, but almost 1 in 7 are shared with yours, so I'll enjoy using the rest to give me some ideas!
Anyway, my challenge to you is one that has been on my TBR shelf at home for a while, but regularly gets overlooked. Apparently that happens a lot with this author with, I gather, quite a lot of critics reckoning she's underrated, so I thought it might be one to actually take down and read this year. So I've gone for:
Good Behaviour by Molly Keane.
I'll give it a go too, and will be very interested to see what you make of it.

Thank you for challenging me to read Ther Savage Garden; it's (yet another) books I've been meaning to read all year!
I would like to challenge you to read Emotionally Weird by Kate Atkinson. I haven't read it myself, but I mean to do so. I enjoyed Human Croquet, so I am hoping we will both enjoy this one.
See you tomorrow. Love Helen

Thanks too for your choice for me. I started to read it some time ago, but couldn't settle into it. It will be good to give it a proper go, because it is one of those books that I feel that I really should have read by now.

Thanks for your challenge. I have read a few other Ben Elton books and have enjoyed all of them, so I will look forward to reading Blind Faith!
I have picked All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, for you to read. This was one of my favourite reads this year, so I hope you enjoy it!

I'm challenging you to read "The Good Earth" by Pearl Buck. I have it in my collection too - but haven't read it yet - so will try and read it alongside you if possible.
Hope this is okay!

All of the books were sent a couple of weeks ago, though some were sent from Paris and others from the USA. Let me know if you still haven't received it, or contact Lea Handell at summertime.publications@gmail.com.
