  • Life of Pi by Yann Martel (Man Booker Prize 2002)

  • A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812 by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich (Pulitzer Prize in History 1991)

  2. I'm trying to be strong and just stick to my 3 challenges for the year, but some of these books are in my TBR pile, so I'm wavering...
