2011 South Asian Challenge

Books and challenges are two things I really love 😉  And so, when I got to know there is a reading challenge hosted at S. Krishna’s Books and that most friends are taking part in it,  I decided to take the plunge too.  I just journeyed through my book list of 2010 and I see that I have anyway read 10+  books from authors of  Asian origin.  So, taking it up as a challenge would mean more fun.

All you need to do as part of this challenge is read books about South Asia / by South Asian authors  in  2011.  I see it as  a great opportunity to learn more about enchanting Southern Asia and the amazing authors that it has produced too  🙂

Do sign up for the challenge here. Hoping to see you all there 🙂 More the merrier 😀

ETA: Am planning to read 10 books. Wish me luck 🙂
