I got this idea from another blogger bibliogal (go check her blog out too) and decided to challenge myself
there are 257 countries in the world and I plan to read a book from every single one. My rules are that the authors has to be from that country, or be a first generation immigrant.
I will review every book and put a link here
If anyone has any ideas of books I could read from the more obscure countries, please let me know.
and….GO

You’ve given yourself even more of a challenge- 257 countries instead of the 193 U.N. member countries I limited my list to. Good luck!
I am going to watch your list for ideas – and going right now to link your blog to my page – i did mean to and then forgot
thanks for the great idea
