I've found the 2012 edition of the Global Reading Challenge and will join.
The rules here are different than the one I did last year in that this one limits the reading to fiction. That is a bit disappointing, but still workable. (I amend that as I just looked at last year's and it was supposed to be fiction, but I didn't catch that, so didn't do it and never got reprimanded. But since I didn't finish anyway, I guess the point is moot. ;->)
I'm going to go for the Expert level again, which is 3 from each continent.
Read three novels from each of these continents in the course of 2012:
Africa
Asia
Australasia
Europe
North America
South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)
The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).
Select novels from twenty-one different countries or states if possible. (For Australasia, selecting a different state for your last book will be acceptable)
I joined the Global Reading challenge as well, that's how I landed on your blog. I'm interested to see what others are reading for the challenge so I will come back to your blog to learn more :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cessie. I'll be checking you out. I love seeing others' takes on books, especially those with different life experience which you seem to have. Your life looks like a real adventure. Very cool.
