I was so excited to find the Okra Picks Challenge hosted by Bermuda Onion! For a long time, I've been meaning to add more southern writers to my reading list so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity!
If you're wondering what the "Okra Picks" are, here is a brief description from Bermuda Onion's blog:
Each season, SIBA (Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance) selects a crop of Southern books to handsell and those books are called Okra Picks. Okra Picks authors are given a sash to wear at the trade show, and believe me when I tell you those sashes are worn with pride!
She has a list of this year's picks posted there as well!
I have committed to reading 8 Okra Picks, putting me at the Peach level. The challenge will be running from October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
If you'd like to sign up, simply follow the link above to her blog!
I'm so glad you decided to join the challenge. I think we've got a great bunch of books to choose from!
