Vietnam War Reading Challenge 2010

January 8, 2010 by Darlene


I wasn’t going to sign up for a single challenge more but my friends Serena from Savvy Verse & Wit and Anna from Diary of an Eccentric are running a Vietnam War Reading Challenge this year. Last year it was World War II and I didn’t do so good but I’m going to do better this year. These are great challenges to bring awareness among us all of the suffering that all wars cause. The challenge will run from January 1 – December 31/10 and you can check it out and join in yourself here.

There are several reading levels but I’m going with 5 books. I found quite a few at the library that sound quite good so my plan is to do much better this year. I’ll be keeping track of my books on this post as well.

    I'm signed up for the Vietnam War Reading Challenge, too. Five reads. I can do that. And the Vietnam War was happening during my wild youth days, so I should study up.

    I know I'm really late on this, but I just realized that I never welcomed you to the challenge! Sorry about that. So glad you're joining us this year.
