18th and 19th Century Women Writers Reading Challenge
18th and 19th Women Writers Reading Challenge
Hosted by Becky of Becky's Book Reviews
Minimum 2 books;
All of 2010
Sign up by leaving a comment.
Read books written by women authors that were written and/or published between 1700 and 1900. Contemporary historical books set in this time period do not count towards this challenge! The challenge is to encourage you to read some classics.
Here is a place where you can get ideas, but be careful, the list includes some authors who won't count. (The site lists authors based on when they were born. So on the 1801-1900 list, for example, you might find women authors who were born in this time but didn't begin writing and publishing their books until the twentieth century.)

I'm in! This sounds like a great challenge.
I am doing this challengeeeeee! This is my favorite genre anyway, so it's really not challenging, but I'm still excited.

I probably shouldn't join another challenge, but I can't resist this one--especially since I can overlap it with a few of my other challenges. I'm in! ^_^
I am in. This is my first time with A to Z Challenge. Really excited. Here's the post http://shonasbookshelves.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/a-to-z-challenge-2010/
Sorry Becky gave the wrong link ..That's the problem with doing multiple things at the same time :) My link for this challenge is here http://shonasbookshelves.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/18th-19th-century-women-writers-reading-challenge/
This is a great challenge, I'm definitely in. My shelf has several new books I bought this year that would qualify, plus there are others I have been meaning to read for some time. This challenge will be the perfect push!

Hi!

Hey ya'll,
This sounds very intriguing and there are a lot of unknown or little know writers at that time. I look forward to participating.
Oh, dear. This sounds right up my alley! I wonder... I will be rereading Persuasion next year, I think, so it would just involve one more book!
Love to join in...
here's my acceptance post
This is so cool! I always get excited when I find a new, old book! Focusing on women authors is a great idea! I'm in!!!
Thanks for coming up and hosting this challenge. Here is the link to my post.

I failed miserably with the 2009 event :( I am glad that you are offering this challenge again. Hopefully I can redeem myself in 2010.
