The Challenge: To read all 12 of Willa Cather's novels in order of their publication, one per month, from January 2012 through December 2012.
The Reading List:
- January: Alexander's Bridge (1912)
- February: O Pioneers! (1913)
- March: The Song of the Lark (1915)
- April: My Ántonia (1918)
- May: One of Ours (1922)
- June: A Lost Lady (1923)
- July: The Professor's House (1925)
- August: My Mortal Enemy (1926)
- September: Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927)
- October: Shadows on the Rock (1931)
- November: Lucy Gayheart (1935)
- December: Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940)
The Un-Rule for this challenge:
I'd love for more people to discover Willa Cather's novels and their diversity. I hope you'll join me in reading all 12 novels, but if you don't have the time to commit to all 12, please feel free to join in for a few of the novels or even just one. My only request is that you read the novel in 2012 and not refer only to a past reading experience.
I've chosen this as my fifth and final challenge for 2012 as I've never read anything by Willa Cather . I doubt I'll be reading them all but look forward to at least three or four.
1. Alexander's Bridge by Willa Cather
2. O Pioneers
3 My Antonia by Willa Cather

I've loved Willa Cather's writing since I discovered her books in the university library, and I do hope you will come to love it too. Hopefully I'll find time to reread a few books for this challenge.
