Christopher Meek’s *The Brightest Moon of the Century* here:
Jayne Pupek’s *Tomato Girl* here:
Just an update. I have read Mudbound***** by Hillary Jordan. It has been given the Bellwhether Prize, which was create by Barbara Kingsolver. Great book. And I have read The Broken Book***+ by Susan Johnson, an Australian writer who is an LT member. It was on the longlists for The Miles Franklin Award and one other award I believe. It was a good enough story but I did not find anything really outstanding about it, sorry to say. I have started Christopher Meeks novel and will be writing a full review for that one soon.
I wanted to read your review of it, and Tomato Girl but you seem to have left out the links in your previous comment. Oh well, I’ll find them.
I do hope people haven’t forgotten about this challenge. I look forward to an update and a list of participants when you have time-unless I’ve missed it somehow. Take care.
I’ve just dicovered another LT author who’s book I read and reviewed.
It was in 2008, he wasn’t an LT author at the time but for anyone interested here’s my review of Quintet by Douglas Arthur Brown:

Thanks.
I’ve completed reading The Brightest Moon of the Century**** by Christopher Meeks and Last Night in Montreal**** by Emily St. John Mandel. I recommend them, though I’m not up to writing a full review at the present time. That’s 5 books read for this year’s challenge so far.
I have also acquired copies of Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea, Belong to Me by Marisa De Los Santos, and Houston, We Have a Problema by Gwendolyn Zepeda. The number of good books by LT Authors is increasing rapidly. A lot more choices than last year, remember?
I hope your health has been better than mine this year. Take care.
Dawn, I’m sorry I haven’t let you know that I have been doing this challenge! I’ve read and reviewed three books for it now:
Love and Other Natural Disasters by Holly Shumas
Crossed Wires by Rosy Thornton
Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel
I also just finished reading Belong to Me, so I’ll let you know when I review it. Are you planning on putting up a list with links of participants’ reviews?
I’ve completed reading Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos. That’s my sixth book for the challenge. It’s very good, I recommend it. I participated in the author interview by Book Club Girl on Blog Talk Radio which is available for anyone to listen to. I want to read her other novel now, Love Walked In. My LT challenge page is here:

I’ve now finished reading The Story of Forgetting**** by Stefan Merrill Block, Into the Beautiful North**** by Luis Alberto, and
Conceit***** by Mary Novik. All are very enjoyable. My thoughts on Conceit are here:

This is a terrifically good historical fiction by a Canadian author.
I will be writing reviews of the others when my health is up to it.
Take care.
