I think this is a wonderful idea for a challenge – but I would say that considering I have made it my mission in life to encourage people to read novels set in foreign countries! I applaud you fizzy thoughts for also furthering that mission. If you are struggling to find books to read set in particular countries – you will find we have categorized books into their locations at packabook, but I also have thousands more cataloged that are not yet on the site – often for some of the countries that are rarely written about. So please feel free to contact me if you are struggling to come up with book suggestions for a particular country, I may just have a few titles squirrelled away.

Good luck everyone!

Alright, I’m late getting on here. I tried to see if I can do without one more challenge, but apparently my controls are very low where books are concerned.

I’ll start from next month!

I, too, came here from Eva’s list. Sounds like a fun challenge. I always try to read internationally, but not often with a set goal.

When I saw it ran April-March, I was a little sad because I didn’t think I’d have time to pick up and read a book from April’s country. Happily, though, I read Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu (French author!) just yesterday, so I’ll be counting that as April’s read. Woohoo!

I probably won’t make a list, but I will make a blog post about the challenge soon.

I missed this when you first posted about it, but Eva’s reading list caught my attention and now I’m hooked. I wasn’t going to do a reading challenge this year (I know, one, I wasn’t going to do even one!) but this sounds like too much fun. And it’s predestined too, since I’m alreading reading Life a Users Manuel by Georges Perec this month, as well as Sodom and Gomorah by Marcel Proust so I’ve got my French author covered!
