18th & 19th Century Women Writers

O ano de 2008 foi muito fraco em quantidade de leituras por isso nada como começar 2009 por dar entrada num desafio para ver se aumento o ritmo.
A passear pelos blogs de 3 amigas que nunca deixo de visitar (A., A. e A.) resolvi-me a ingressar neste 18th and 19th Century Women Writers' Reading Challenge já que tenho alguns livros que podem entrar, uns que gostava de reler e outras boas sugestões que encontrei nos blogs delas 3.

This reading challenge will be for all of 2009.
How many books? No fewer than four. No more than twelve.
What books are allowed? If they're written by a woman who lived and wrote from 1700 to 1900, then they count. What books don't count...if an author was born during this time period, but didn't publish anything until the next century. Post-1900 books are NOT allowed. There is a small loophole here. If a book was written during these two centuries 1700-1900 and was not published until after the author's death...and that publication date just happened to be in the 1900s or 2000s...then that would count.

My initial reading list (from where i will choose about 5 or 6):
- Emma, Jane Austen (1815)

The Unread Authors Challenge

Tendo o meu ano de 2007 sido tão escasso em leituras decidi entrar neste desafio com a C. e a A., aproveitando para libertar o pó a uns quantos desgraçados que tenho ali ao tempo a chamar por mim...
É um desafio engraçado e pouco stressante. Consiste apenas em ler 6 autores novos (para mim) entre Setembro de 2007 e Fevereiro de 2008. Coisa pouco exigente, portanto. Se desejarem saber mais pormenores podem visitar este blog.

As minhas escolhas (sujeitas a alterações, claro) serão:
♥ Outlander, Diana Gabaldon
♥ The Bad Mother's Handbook, Kate Long
♥ The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, Eva Rice
♥ Heart of Ice, Alys Clare
♥ At Home in Mitford (Mitford Years), Jan Karon
♥ A Fórmula de Deus, José Rodrigues dos Santos

Algumas alternativas extra caso não me apeteça pegar nalgum dos anteriores:
♣ The Reading Group, Elizabeth Noble
♣ The Genesis Code, John Case
♣ Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, Lorna Landvik
♣ Any by Cathy Kelly
♣A Booke of Days, Stephen J. Rivelle

_____________________

When it comes to reading 2007 hasn't been a very good year for me, so I decided to join this challenge along with my friends C. and A.. It's an excellent opportunity to read a couple of books that have been in my TBR pile for ages getting all dusty.
It's a fun challenge and not very stressing, I only have to read 6 new to me authors between September 2007 and February 2008. Easy peasy!
My choices are above with some extra ones.
