Rose City Reader is hosting the 2013 European Reading Challenge again this year and I’m signing up. I intend to do much better on my own Books in Translation Reading Challenge again this year, so that should help me with this challenge as well.
Rose City Reader says,
The idea is to read books by European authors or books set in European countries (no matter where the author comes from). The books can be anything – novels, short stories, memoirs, travel guides, cookbooks, biography, poetry, or any other genre. You can participate at different levels, but each book must be by a different author and set in a different country – it’s supposed to be a tour.
I’m signing up at the Honeymooner level–4 European books. I’ll track my progress here.
