HA!! It's merely a trivial test for--
The IRON GUY!
The good people who have organized the Challenge this year have picked out the theme of diversity. I've got a list of books to reflect that worthwhile theme and here they are:
Heart of a Samurai by Margi Preus
Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues by Patricia C. McKissaack and Frederick McKissack, Jr.
Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze by Elizabeth Foreman Lewis (sorry if the picture isn't very clear)
The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
and The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger
Now I know that these last three may stretch the definition of "diversity" a bit but here's how I look at it--one takes in medieval Poland (a different time in history), one has a main character who isn't even a person (pretty diverse), and the last one--well, I just wanted to read it. OK, you could say that one character is a piece of origami and that qualifies (possibly). Besides, it's part of my 2014 resolution and I'll have time to actually get to it.
Will I read ALL those books? Maybe. But I will give it a MANLY try. So come on, June 7--9. The IRON GUY is ready for you!!
I've got a challenge for YOU, reader guys. I want to see if you've got what it takes. Want to know more? Then read the post under this one!

Whew. You've got some heavy reads, Iron Guy! I am saving up piles of easy reads for the challenge. I hopesome of your patrons are uo for the challenge, too.
Bah! Nothing's too heavy for the Iron Guy! Actually, I'd be surprised if I got through all of them. And these look like very interesting books and should keep my attention. And the Origami Yoda book would be entertaining. Hey, ask some of your boys if they'd like to participate. Did you read the post under this one?
Ha! I love your photos.
And I own "Heart of a Samurai" and have been meaning to read but it just keeps getting put off. I've heard only good things! Hopefully you will say more good things -- THE good things that will finally make me read it. :)
Good luck with the challenge!
Great choices! Origami Yoda is a favorite of mine and I can't keep it on my shelves.
