I’m in!
Check out what Candace has to say about the perpetual challenge that she is hosting reading through the Amy Einhorn 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 fifteen Amy Einhorn titles (covers shown in the fabulous button made by Jenn):

I have read The Help and The Postmistress and both have been fabulous!
Other reviews and posts:
I got sucked in as well. I've already read The Help, so why not? I have been appreciating Candace's highlights on each book on Fridays, trouble is I want to read them all. I did buy The Postmistress on my Kindle when it came out, but Lord knows when I will get to it. I am in slow-motion here lately.
My recent post When You Are Engulfed in Flames – David Sedaris (audio)
Those highlight posts are very dangerous. I think my next read for AE will be Marriage Bureau for Rich People. We'll see when I can get to it.
I'm doing this one too! I love these perpetual challenge because there's really no pressure. You'll be reading The Postmistress pretty soon too!
I know! I do so love a perpetual, and at least I know I will read a few this year with our book club, and a few Reagan authors as well. I'll get that one up eventually.
I'm so glad you're in this for real now! I am so interested in imprints at the moment.
After I did my rash of challenge posts it was hard to do one for awhile. I had burn out on them. That's why you got the copy paste job!
happy reading!
I have only read The Help but I have been considering this challenge for awhile. Not sure if I will ever sign up officially but I definitely want to read more Amy Einhorn books.
Good luck with the challenge! It looks delicious.
Ooh do I dare sign up for another challenge? Would this be the one to break me? LOL – sounds good….. I am considering!
Good luck in the challenge!
Also, congrats! I gave you an award
