I love prize winning fiction, so I’ve decided to sign up to another challenge! – The Orange Prize Project . I have read a few of the Orange prize winers already, but there are a lot more buried in my reading pile. Hopefully, by taking part in this challenge, I will be encouraged to move a few of them to the top of the pile!
The ones I have read so far are:
2008
The Outcast, by Sadie Jones
2006
The Accidental, by Ali Smith
2005
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, by Marina Lewycka
2004
Purple Hibiscus, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
2001
The Blind Assassin, by Margaret Atwood
1996
The Hundred Secret Senses, by Amy Tan
The Monsters of Templeton, by Lauren Groff, which was shortlisted for the prize this year, is top of my reading pile, so I should finish reading it soon.
I look forward reading lots more Orange prize winners over the coming months!

Welcome to the Book Blogging Community. I got your link from the A Novel Challenge group. Nice to have you join us.
I’ve been working my way thought these too. Just reading Outcast at the moment and I think I might have read just about all of the older winners now. But I went even further and tried to read all the shortlisted ones too, so that might take a little longer!
Ros – The Orange Prize project involves reading all the winners and short listed books, so I’ve let myself in for the same task as you! Some people even read all the long listed ones, but I don’t think I’ll commit to doing all of those at the moment!
