British Books Challenge

British Book Challenge

What: "The BBC (hee hee) is a reading challenge where bloggers sign up to read books by British writers throughout 2011. The books can be in print or out. Old or new titles. They can be from any genre and for any age."

When: Year 2011
Why: Well, the British literary tradition i s long and full of so many great books. And the button is so cool.

My Goal: I'm not a Brit, so I'm an "International Friend". I chose the category "The Royal Family", which means I'll read 12 books.

Reviews: Are not required, so I won't post reviews here, at least not many.
Prize: When/if I complete this challenge, I can download Oscar Wilde's stories read by Stephen Fry from iTunes.
