Guidelines for the Challenge:
- Please focus on works that are Southern in feeling. I'll leave it for you to decide what that means. I won't throw a hissy fit about specifics, just please keep in mind the South is more than just an area on a map.

- Books must be started on or after January 1 to count.
- There are five reading levels. You can move up or down in level, if needed.
- All book formats are allowed.
- Books can cross over to other challenges in which you are participating.
- Re-reads are okay.
