Amy Einhorn Books Perpetual Challenge

Hi, everyone! Time for another 2012 Reading Challenge, and this one is perpetual!

I actually have a few Amy Einhorn Books on my TBR list, so I thought I'd join this challenge!

This perpetual challenge is being hosted by Beth at Beth Fish Reads. Here are the details copied from Beth's blog:

Welcome to the Amy Einhorn Books Perpetual Challenge.

Have you read The Help by Kathryn Stockett? How about Jim Beaver's Life's That Way or Frahad Zama's The Marriage Bureau for Rich People? These books earned four- and five-star reviews from many sources, including book bloggers.


The other thing these books have in common is that they were published under the Putnam imprint Amy Einhorn Books. And that's what this perpetual challenge is all about: reading through the imprint.


The Amy Einhorn Books challenge was born on Twitter (where all evil occurs) and was inspired by (in no particular order) Swapna from S. Krishna's Books, Trish from Hey Lady! Whatcha Reading?, Jenn from Jenn's Bookshelves, Jen from Devourer of Books, Amy from My Friend Amy, Dawn from She Is Too Fond of Books, Nicole from Linus's Blanket, and several other enthusiastic bloggers.


Currently, there are 32 Amy Einhorn titles (some covers shown in the fabulous button made by Jenn):

• Read through the Amy Einhorn Books imprint in any order you'd like.
• Read the books in any medium (print, eBook, audio).
• Pages for linking your reviews will be found via the AE Challenge tab under my banner photo. There are two pages, one for 2009 books and one for 2010 books. Be sure to link up your reviews of the books you've already read.
• The Twitter hashtag is #amyeinhorn.

I hope you decide to join this no-pressure challenge. Use the link pages to find out who else has read the book you just finished. Need to discuss a particular issue? Can't understand what the hype was about? Use the link pages as a gateway for finding other readers and other opinions.

If you want to join me in the challenge, just click on the challenge badge at the beginning of this post.

I am going to keep track of my progress below:
