On my blogroll you will find a link to S. Krishna’s Books. This is a blog that I love. Her blog is dedicated to book reviews. She is a mad reader. I really don’t know how she reads so many books each week. I love reading and I love books so I love visiting her site.

S. Krishna has put out a book challenge for 2010. She is challenging people to, 1. read books by south Asian authors and 2. the book has to in someway be related to south Asia. You can challenge yourself to read 3, 5, 7, or 10 south Asian books throughout the year. I am joining and so should you. You can visit the South Asian Author Challenge-Intro & FAQ post to get more information.

Here is the list of books that I have chosen to read for the challenge:
1. The Sari Shop Widow-Shobhan Bantwal (fiction)
2. The Girl from Foreign- Sadie Shepard (Memoir non-fiction)
3. In the Convent of Little Flowers: Stories- Indu Sundaresan (fiction)
4. The Elephant, the Tiger, and the Cell Phone: Reflections on India in the 21st Century- Shashi Tharoor (non-fiction)
5. Trash!: On Ragpicker Children and Recycling- Gita Wolf and Anushka Ravishankar (fact and fiction children’s)

I read The White Tiger (fiction) by Aravind Adiga this year. I highly recommend that book to anyone who is looking for a great read for the challenge.

I would love to add more books to this list. I prefer non-fiction if you have any great recommendations please leave a comment.
