I have been seeing quite a few reading challenges and thought this one sounded interesting. Basically you will choose to read 12 books based on the month that the author was born. So, if I wanted to read a book by Jane Austen I would read it in the month of December, as she was born on December 16th, etc. To find out more information and to sign up click here. Here is my list which consists of some books that are part of other reading challenges.
Jan. - Marie-Henri Beyle AKA Stendhal - The Charterhouse of Parma
