Books have always been part of my life, as far back as I remember. Reading is what I do. That is the one thing that always happens, irrespective of how every other variable in my life could change.
So when I came across the South Asian Challenge at Smita’s blog, all I could do was rush here and sign up for it.What could be more fun! I have been reading a lot of Indian Authors with a sprinkling of Pakistani and Sri Lankan authors. This would be a wonderful opportunity to read some more. I just love the fact that I would get to know about a lot of authors that I had no idea about, by reading others who participate in this challenge. Oh it is so exciting!
The South Asian Challenge is a reading challenge that is Blogger and Reviewer S Krishna’s brainchild, to encourage people to read South Asian books. To know more about the South Asian Challenge or to sign up, please do hop here.
I am signing up for the South Asian Challenge 2011, and am hoping to read 10 South Asian books in the next year. I don’t have a reading list as of now, but will put it up soon.

Oh good 🙂 It will be fun – we can all suggest new authors for each of us to try – we already do that, don’t we? Will be more fun to do it as part of a challenge 🙂

I used to love books at one time, got caught up in the baby and work and other stuff and now I am trying to catch up with it again. And my only source of books(of Asian authors) here is my local library. Thanks to book reviews on your blog, I have reading quite a few Asian authors now. I think I am also going to sign up for this challenge. At least it will inspire me to catch up on my reading habit.
Thanks for dropping by 🙂 Do sign up – I am sure it will be a fun way to read new books 🙂
