I have joined a new challenge in support of my fellow country-men and British authors! This is hosted by Book Chick City and here are the rules:
Timeline: 1st Jan 2010~ 31st Dec 2010. Only books started on January 1st count towards this challenge.
Details:
1. Anyone can join. You don’t need a blog to participate.
2. There are four levels:
• “Put The Kettle On” – Read 2 Typically British novels.
• “Gordon Bennett” – Read 4 Typically British novels.
• “Bob’s Your Uncle” – Read 6 Typically British novels.
• “Cream Crackered” – Read 8 Typically British novels.
3. Any book format counts. Must be fiction not non-fiction.
4. You don’t have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go. Also if you do list them upfront then you can change them, nothing is set in stone!
5. The books you choose can crossover into other challenges.
I’m going for the “cream crackered” option. There’s loads of books that I want to read that are by Brisith authors, some to be released this year and some that I have on Mt. TBR at home. Some of my picks at the moment are:
Blueeyedboy by Joanne Harris
Trespass by Rose Tremain
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Shirley by Charlotte Bronte
Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

Yay! Thanks for joining my Typically British challenge. I’m so pleased you signed up. Have fun!
I’m doing this challenge too. I’ve always meant to try something by Rose Tremain. I look forward to your thoughts on her book.
