Naturally I have chosen the Paradiso level, meaning I must read 12 medieval books from at least 4 different genres between January 1 and December 31, 2012. Here are my choices (note that those with an * beside them also qualify for my Read Your OWN Library! Challenge, meaning I've owned them for ages and never yet read them, while those with a ^ beside them will be planted in my Victory Garden):
Biography--
The Confessions, by St. Augustine of Hippo*^
The Life of St. Columba, by St. Adamnan of Iona*
History--
Ecclesiastical History of the English People, by the Venerable Bede*^
History of the Franks, by Gregory of Tours*
Literature--
Beowulf *
History of the Kings of Britain, by Geoffrey of Monmouth
Religion--
Pastoral Care, by Pope St. Gregory the Great*
Romance--
The Letters of Abelard and Heloise, by Peter Abelard and Heloise d'Argenteuil
Le Morte d'Arthur, by Sir Thomas Mallory^
Women--
The Alexiad of Anna Comnena*
The Book of the City of Ladies, by Christine de Pizan
And there you have it. Twelve different books in six separate genres. Now all I have to do is actually read them!
Good golly woman! How can you read so many books with a toddler? Especially a supertoddler?!?
