Hi,
I'm Rebecca at Fond of Books and I can't pass up a good book challenge and the fact that I have a whole year to do it in, makes it even better, since I'm already participating in other challenges.

5. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck-1940 Pulitzer
6. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee-1961 Pulitzer (also reading for Southern Book Challenge)
7. Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro-1989 Man Booker Prize
8. The Women of Brewster Place by Gloria Naylor-1983 National Book Award
9. The World According to Garp by John Irving-1980 NBA

'Life of Pi' and 'The World According to Garp' are two of my all-time favorites, I hope you enjoy them.
Ooh! I have "Them" on my shelf right here - I should have put that my list too!
To Kill a Mockingbird is sooooooo good!
