Ex Libris - Progress

I am so pleased that this particular prize list has become an ongoing reading project! I love to follow the Orange Prize and can now do so as much as I want without any guilt! Thanks, Wendy!!

I am planning to read three books from this list in 2008:

• Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (winner 2007)
• The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (shortlist 2007)
• Eveless Eden by Marianne Wiggins (shortlist 1996)

I will probably add to this list once the 2008 short list is announced. I may add others, too, if time permits me to read them.

Following are the Orange Prize list books I've already read:

• Digging to America by Anne Tyler (shortlist 2007)
• The History of Love by Nicole Krauss (shortlist 2006)
• Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel (shortlist 2006)
• The Accidental by Ali Smith (shortlist 2006)
• The Night Watch by Sarah Waters (shortlist 2006)
• A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian by Marina Lewycka (shortlist 2005)
• The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard (shortlist 2004)
• Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (shortlist 2004)
• Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (winner 2002)
• Hotel World by Ali Smith (shortlist 2001)
