I need to check for it again and add it to my "wish" list if its not there!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-35251925599369839052012-01-03T18:29:30.945-06:002012-01-03T18:29:30.945-06:00Thank everyone for your comments and support.

You talked me into it Joanne.<br /><br />I have one other challenge, the Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge and that, as they say, is that.<br /><br />Two Challenges for 2012 is about all I'm up for.<br /><br />Last year I did the Victorian Challenge but didn't much with it.<br />Though I did read WOMEN IN WHITE and DRACULA. But somewhere along the way I lost track of the challenge. I am NOT the most organized reader in the world.<br /><br />This year I hope to do better.<br /><br />Let me go sign up.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-28540422694391676502012-01-02T23:38:06.011-06:002012-01-02T23:38:06.011-06:00Good luck on this challenge!

I have read quite a few biographies of the Bronte sisters- and various other Victorian writers- I would love to read more.<br /><br />p.s.<br />finally got ahold of "The Forbidden Garden" and finished it- wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep it all start with the dancing around to different years and different people- but it all tied together nicely at the end- thanks for the recommendation!Anjulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540340538869180615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-20723961913981479152012-01-02T20:26:31.759-06:002012-01-02T20:26:31.759-06:00Sounds like a great challenge.
