It depends on your mood, tbh. Because some of those are really harsh.

i kinda dropped the challenge, i think :/ i'm an impulse reader so it bugged me not being able to read the book/author i truly wanted to bc i had to stick to the challenge's theme of the month, and i can't do more than 1 fiction book at the same time, so...

my fave women authors are Lucia Berlin, Joan Didion, Jennifer Egan, Kathleen Alcott & the Brontës

February was a hard month, I'm rereading an old fav that just barely qualifies.

i never do the challenge for this reason

ahkna February 24 2018, 19:24:52 UTC

I've decided to let myself do them out of order so there's less pressure.

I actually have a couple of these books/books by authors listed, so I think I'll read a couple of those in March.

I actually have "And Then There Were None" out, so I'll probably start with that.

I've been terrible on the February challenge though. Damn Olympics.

I am late to the February challenge as well. I missed my book when it came in to the library so I had to put it on hold again. I'm finally picking it up today but won't start it for a few days, I think.

a room of one's own is sooo good.

arawelo February 24 2018, 19:58:22 UTC

+1 for a room of one's own. It looks like a short read too

joaniemaloney February 24 2018, 23:27:05 UTC

hell yeah

honestly it's such a good decision. even my reading has geared way more towards women and if it's men it's men of colour. something's gotta be v good for me to read it by a white guy
