3 Southern books
One of the best challenges out there! Thanks, Maggie, for hosting this lovely challenge once again. This year, I hope to take some pictures of ‘my old Kentucky home’ while I’m in Kentucky this summer. I’ll try to get some pics in and around Louisville and/or Lexington. I also hope to go to Natural Bridge and some other Kentucky attractions.
As for the books I want to read, I’ll just have to pick from a pool because I can’t yet decide! I’ll choose from the following:
- The Optimist’s Daughter by Eudora Welty (Pulitzer winner)
- A Summons to Memphis by Peter Taylor (Pulitzer winner)
- Property by Valerie Martin (Orange Prize winner)
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson
- The Front Porch Prophet by Raymond L. Atkins
- A Summons to Memphis by Peter Taylor (Pulitzer)
- A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (Pulitzer)
- Elbow Room by McPherson (Pulitzer)
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (Pulitzer)
