Gore Vidal Dies
I haven't read any of Vidal's books, but he is a big name in Literature, so I am reporting this as news.

Challenges for 2013
I have done NO challenges since the last Canadian Book Challenge in 2009. I completed that challenge reading 40 books in total.
3 times 13 books with 3 different genres, plus 1 extra to make the total books read = 40.
ABM - Autobiographies, Biographies and Memoirs
FS - Free Spirit - Any Canadian book
SA - Single Author - Robert Munsch
For 2013 I have 3 more challenges planned. This year I want to read 12 Public Domain Books, 12 Books by Women (Female) authors and 12 Bibliophilic books (or Books about Books).
I give myself the entire year to do these. I will post reviews here with links to Squidoo as well.
