[ENG]
Welcome to the fifth edition of the “Women Challenge”!

This challenge will make us want to read more books of any kind written by women, so choose whatever you like and get involved!
Set your level and, if you like, leave me a comment on this post listing your three favourite women writers, in order to suggest new names to other participants as well.

Here are mine (they are just the first ones coming to my mind):

* Grace Paley
* Dorothy Parker
* Elizabeth Gaskell

Rules:

* anyone can join;
* you don't need a blog to partecipate: if you are a non-blogger please leave a comment with a link (if you review elsewhere) to your review or with the list of the books you read and the level you choose;
* audio, e-books, bound books and re-reads are ok;
* create a sign up post on your blog - if you want - and post the link here in the comments, so I will know that you're in;
* challenge goes from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017;
* please, write all the links to your reviews here in the comments.

Levels:

Level 1: BABY GIRL - read 5 books written by a woman author
Level 2: GIRLS POWER - read 6 to 15 books written by a woman author
Level 3: SUPER GIRL - read 16 to 20 books written by a woman author

It's never too late to join!

Have fun and good luck! :)

    Provo a partecipare per il livello Baby Girl.
    Il mio blog è https://progettofelice.wordpress.com/ e per ora ho condiviso il banner tra le sfide che mi ripropongo di seguire a gennaio (ma che poi miseramente abbandono col trascorrere dei mesi).
