This is an interesting challenge - I just signed up for it and will probably post lots of links since I alternate reviews of contemporary (first published after I was born) and classical (published between 1900 and 1970) literature on my blog. The review of the first book that I read this year has gone online yesterday, so I can get started as soon as I'll have made up my mind about the category ;-). I'm looking forward to following the other contributions!Edith LaGrazianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885017198423641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-24701392893423104142015-02-05T23:22:35.791-05:002015-02-05T23:22:35.791-05:00Just signed up for this wonderful challenge...not ...Just signed up for this wonderful challenge...not sure if I will be able to complete it but will definitely have a great time reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824550984286759598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-63105694516278278442015-01-26T17:24:19.451-05:002015-01-26T17:24:19.451-05:00You could link your reviews to your Goodreads page...You could link your reviews to your Goodreads page in the comments section if you can't link them through Mr. Linky.
