Only one more week… I figured I should probably put this up sooner rather than later.

I had a fun time with this one, not just reading — though I’m not sure my list was terribly stellar — but also as host. I think it’s the first time I’ve done a challenge where I’ve read every single review that was posted. I should do that more often; there’s a lot of interesting books that are being read out there.

1. Kira Kira, by Cynthia Kadohata (Asian-American)
2. The Hummingbird’s Daughter, by Luis Alberto Urrea (Hispanic)
3. The Painted Drum, by Louise Erdrich (Native American)
4. My Life as a Furry Red Monster, Kevin Clash or Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison (African-American)
5. Mistress: A Novel, by Anita Nair (India) [Read Interpreter of Maladies, instead]
6. The Saffron Kitchen, Yasmin Crowther (Iran)
