European Reading Challenge 2018

Gilion at Rose City Reader is hosting the European Reading Challenge again for 2018.  The “gist” of the challenge, according to Gilion,

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.

There are several levels for the challenge, and I’m aiming to once again read five books to reach the Five Star (Deluxe Entourage) Level. Here’s my planned list for the challenge:

1. France: Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas
2. United Kingdom: Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
3. Italy: From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon
4. Russia: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5. Spain: The Shadows of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

I’ll be tracking my progress on this and all my challenges on my 2018 Reading Challenge page.
