Hi Liz,

For the 2010 reading challenge could you read 'Haunted' by Chuck Palahniuk. I read it last year and although some of it is quite stomach churning there are some great short stories in it. Hope that's ok.

Hi Liz,

I'd like to challenge you to read Mosquito by Roma Tearne. I haven't read this yet and so I'll be interested to hear what you make of it.

Hello
My challenge for you is to read A Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide. Have not seen this on many lists and I loved it (although it will make you cry!)

Hi Liz,

For the 2010 challenge, I have picked Beneath the Skin, by Nicci French for you to read. I didn't enjoy all her books, but I thought this one was terrific, and I hope you do too!

Hi Liz, Can I challenge you to read 'Reading in Bed' by Sue Gee. I have just got it from the library as it sounded good so it will be interesting to compare, love Shona

Thank you liz, that's a great challenge. Strangers is one I've been meaning to read for a couple of years, and as you say, it isn't too long!

Thanks Liz, a good challenge. Although you're right, the challenge I've given you is short I think it's going to be hard going somehow.

Hello Liz, I would like to challenge you to read In Cold Blood by Truman Capote; it is a book I have had on my tbr pile for a while and I will try to read it with you.

Love, Helen

Hi Liz, for the 2010 reading challenge would you read 'Quarantine' by Jim Crace. It's a one I own and a one I reckon I wouldn't read unless I was reading it with someone. Sam :)

Hi Liz, for the 2010 reading challenge I have chosen A Lifetime Burning for you to read. This is the most complex of Linda Gillard's books, and I absolutely loved it. A tip for you - when you read it just go with the flow and don't try to follow the jumping around of time zones - it will all make sense! Hope you enjoy it. Linda Gillard deserves to have a much wider following.

Hi I'd like to challenge you to read Sam Bournes Righteous Men, I have this book and I really enjoyed it!

I must apologise because I was doing my librarything a few months ago when my computer brokedown. We have just got a new one and are back in the e-world. Could I ask you to just look over my library and choose a different book for me please as I hadn't tagged them as unread before the breakdown! I have done now and have found that now I'm back online people have chosen books for me that I've read. My fault I know and I must apologise, hope it's not too much of an inconvenience. Many Thanks Michelle

Hello Liz

Thank you for your challenge. Although people have given it good reviews, I probably wouldn't read this book without being prompted to!

I would like to challenge you to read The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It's a book Hec recommended to me ages ago, and I just keep putting off reading it - even though I have collected others in the series; now I shall have an added incentive. nI hope we both enjoy it.

Thanks for your challenge Liz - I will look forward to it!

For your challenge, I have picked Digging to America by Anne Tyler. I have it on my tbr as well, so will also try to read it. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Seanat

Thanks for my challenge - I am really looking forward to reading Perfume (and watching the film, which I actually got yesterday!!).

I challenge you to read The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I haven't read it yet either, so hopefully we'll both be reading it next year! Hope this is okay...
