Wendy (Caribousmom) twisted my arm, and here I am. At least, she is just my excuse for letting myself be swept into another irresistable challenge. For the long version of the story, stop by my personal blog, Musings of a Bookish Kitty.
In order to make the NYT Challenge work for me, I am going to allow myself a lot of freedom. I will not be setting a specific number of books to read from the list (although I would like to read them all!). I have jotted down a few titles that appeal to me, and my choices will come from that list (subject to change based on other books that catch my fancy or recommedations by others).
Without further ado . . .

Welcome, Literary Feline! I think you have chosen a very wise way to approach the challenge, and I have to admit that the books you mark as appealing also strike me that way. I am so glad you have joined us!
Yay! Welcome to the challenge...I so glad that your arm got twisted :0)
Thanks for joining us! *looks around to see who else's arm needs twisting :)
