The Psycho Sluts Read club on Goodreads has issued the following challenge to celebrate National Women's History Month.
The challenge this month is to read books written by female authors.
1. A book on micro history.
2. A book about a female detective, police officer or lawyer.
3. A horror book written by a female author and that has a female character.
4. A book by a female author who has a name the same as you or someone in your family.
5. A book about a significant woman in history (you decide what's significant).
6. Read a "chick-lit" book.
7. Any non-fiction book written by a female author.
8. A graphic novel or comic book featuring a female character (try to find one written by a female author).
9. Any book of your choice (female author).
RULES
1. Each of the books must be written by a female author with the exception of number 8.
2. You get one point for each category for a total of 9 points. Each category can only be done once.
3. The stories/books may be novels, novellas, short stories, plays.
BONUS (1 point): Read a poem or book of poems written by a female author then post a link to your favorite book or poem or type the poem itself into the thread.
It's a great challenge, are you up to it? If yes, post your reading choice here or on the Psycho Sluts discussion page. I am starting with Madhur Jaffrey's Climbing the Mango Trees, which should serve for either number 1 or 7. I'll post each new book.
