S. Krishna is hosting this challenge for 2010. She writes:This challenge is to encourage people to read books by South Asian Authors – South Asia being India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Please not that it does not include the Middle East! The books can be from any time period, contemporary or classic.
There are four different commitment levels: 3, 5, 7 or 10. There will be prizes. Find details here. I'm in with 10. I've opted for mostly YA but would love some adult title suggestions. Would love to have women writers or titles that address social justice themes so I can have crossover with the other challenges I'm participating in. Any suggestions? Are you joining in challenges in 2010.

Awesome list! I'm reviewing Skunk Girl on Sunday and I really liked it :) I can't wait to start this challenge, since I've found so many great titles!
Hey Ari,
I didn't wait. I get in my reading and writing in whenever I can.
Hope you had a great Christmas.
i almost picked up the space between us today on my book buying binge but to keep myself reigned in i bought books alphabetically :) maybe next time!
I am really looking forward to this challenge as well!
