I will be continuing to read through The Best 100 Novels List. And I am adding an additional list of 11 Critically Acclaimed Books by Women. Those lists can be found here.
Reading List for The Bluestockings Reading Group
Our first book for January 2012 was a Barbara Kingsolver title, Prodigal Summer. I loved this book! 
For February, we are reading A Short History of Women, by Kate Walbert.
