Lisa's List and Intro
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 by Lisa
Hi all! I'm Lisa from Books. Lists. Life. I needed to join another challenge just as bad as some of the rest of you regulars, but this one looked so easy to fill in and I have no willpower. Here's my preliminary list-
- Number the Stars by Lois Lowry (Newbery 1990)
- Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D Taylor (Newbery 1977)
- Up A Road Slowly by Irene Hunt (Newbery 1967)
- A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine D'Engle (Newbery 1963)
- The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Spear (Newbery 1960)
- The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty (Pulitzer 1973)
- Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (Orange Prize 2002)(PEN/Faulker 2002)
- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (Governor General's Award 1985)
- Possession: A Romance by A. S. Byatt (Man Booker 1990) (not on any other challenge, but on my shelves)
- Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (Pulitzer 2003) (ditto)
- The Road - Cormac McCarthy (Pulitzer 2007) (not on another challenge, but feels like something I should read.)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling (British Book Award 2006)
You MUST read The Handmaid's Tale. Scary!
