Reading challenge 1: War Through the Generations

The first reading challenge I’m joining in 2009 is the War Through the Generations’ reading challenge on World War II, hosted by Anna from Diary of an Eccentric and Serena from Savvy Verse & Wit. The challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2009.

The minimum commitment is five books, although hopefully I’ll read more. So far I’m thinking of reading the following (I reserve the right to add and subtract from this list throughout the year):

• Berlin Solstice by Sylvia Fraser
• The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
• The Pages in Between: A Holocaust Legacy of Two Families, One Home by Erin Einhorn
• Resistance by Anita Shreve
• Spies by Michael Frayn
• The Longest Night: Voices from the London Blitz by Gavin Mortimer

I realize there are six books on my list, but I’m not sure I’ll get around to the last one, so my personal challenge is still to read at least five.

What challenges are you joining in 2009?
