***I misunderstood this challenge, and rather than choosing books published in 8 consecutive decades, I picked books that were set in 8 consecutive decades. I'm sure I enjoyed the challenge just as much as I would have otherwise. The best books read on this challenge were Water For Elephants, I am Legend, and All the Pretty Horses, but most of them were good reads. The Sound and the Fury was one of the most difficult reads ever, but in the end I enjoyed it. I have already created my list for this years Decades Challenge, and am excited to get started!***
Here is my list for the Decades Challenge. Click on the titles to see my reviews.

i loved The Bean Trees. have you read other Kingsolver novels?
btw i thought this challenge was based on the date of publication, not the date of the setting. for example, Water for Elephants is set in the 1930s, i think, but it was published in 2006.
Uh oh! You may be right? I may be doing it entirely wrong--which means I've essentially created my own challenge. Oops!
I was going to say that same thing! Really, your mistake is a terrific idea, though. Reading historical fiction set in different decades would be fun.
Congrats on finishing the challenge! I liked The Bean Trees a lot, but loved The Poisonwood Bible. I also loved Water for Elephants.
