She talks to wolves...

It's nearly a new year and lenneth is setting up a new reading challenge:

Read 3 novels by Patricia A. McKillip between January 1st and December 31st 2009.

If you haven't read any novels by McKillip before, this is an excellent excuse to get started! You can find reviews of most of her works in the special edition of Green Man Review dedicated to her earlier this year.

I imagine the three books I'll read for the challenge are as follows:

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld on copperwise's very strong recommendation,
The Changeling Sea because McKillip considers it the work of hers closest to perfection,
and Harrowing the Dragon as I've not read any of her shorter fiction before.

If you're interested in taking part as well, leave a comment on this post over at lenneth.
