"It's that time of year!", says Maggie from Maggie Reads. That time is the start of the Southern Reading Challenge, which I absolutely loved participating in last year and so can't possibly miss out on this year.
Maggie's challenge runs from May 15 to August 15 and requires us to read 3 books that have something to do with the Southern US. For details check out the challenge post.
I think my list of possibles is a bit long, but so what! :-)
Completed: 2/3 as of 29 July 2009
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier
Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Oh Joanna, you have some good reading ahead of you! I really loved or enjoyed The Help, Secret Life of Bees, Gods in Alabama and Murder on a Bad Hair Day. I have Garden Spells on my TBR Shelf, but don't think I'll be getting to it anytime soon. I'll be keeping a lookout for your reviews. :)
Great stuff to pick from! It's been a long time, but I remember Murder on a Bad Hair Day being really cute.

I'm planning to read Garden Spells and Gods in Alabama but just haven't gotten started yet!
Oh and if you want a hilarious book, read Confederacy of Dunces.
Glad to see you joining in the challenge too!
Good luck with the challenge! I really should join this one some year, but I haven't yet!
