Cool...I kind of figured it was a matter of time before you hopped on board for this one!
Anna & Jo-Jo ~ I had my eye on this one, that's for sure. I just wanted to get a better handle on my possibilities before I flipped the switch. There is such an interesting array of books when you dig around for a while!

ANother challenge?!? You're awesome!
I'm thinking of adding Skeletons to my list and I'm really leaning to getting Schindler's List in too. Hmmmmmmmm, way too many plans going on and probably not enough time. lol.
Welcome Aboard! I'm glad to see the list of participants is growing.
Dar: I loved Schindler's list. I've had it for years. I may do a two-for and review the movie as well.
Skeletons looks like another good one...guess I will have to check it out.
Heather ~ Thanks! It's easy to sign up for them. The hard part is actually finishing them. :-)
Dar ~ I'm only committing to the minimum number of books for this one. The first five I read that qualify will be it! If I read more later in the year, they will be a bonus.
Serena ~ Thanks! I'm glad you're getting such a good response. A suggestion for the future would be War In Antiquity. I have some great books for that! :-)
Lezlie
War in Antiquity. that would be a good one. I'll give you a hint...2010 will be a very controversial war in the U.S. past...
Serena ~ Whatever it is, sign me up! :-) I guessing Viet Nam, which would be great! I'm want to read some more O'Brien, and that would be the perfect excuse. :-)

Congrats on finishing the challenge! I'll add your reviews to the site soon. I'm a bit behind right now. Just have to set aside a weekend afternoon to catch up.
