This seems like a great idea for a challenge, not just to get back into reading, but also to learn about new countries and cultures :) I look forward to starting (and hopefully finishing!) this challenge :)

Haha you're not wrong there! I'm reading a book for Texas in the USA in 51 books at the moment... that counts for USA too, right? :D And the A-Z and whatever else I can get out of it ;-)

Yep all 3 plus the genre challenge this month for an unheard of quadruple dunk slam if it's got a gay/lesbian theme.

Hmmm, sadly no gay/lesbian theme in this one... Not that I've discovered yet anyway! But who knows what could be revealed in the final few pages?? :D

Bill | 2773 comments It's a fun challenge, Zoe. For me it's kind of long term, but it is fun visiting other countries.

Yeah, it's certainly taking a while! It probably doesn't help that I've also decided it's a good idea to take on the USA in 51 Books, UK counties, A - Z author challenge and who knows what else all at the same time! :D But it's good fun and it's great knowing that pretty much any book I read at the moment will tick off something on at least one of my lists ;-)

Sue | 1296 comments Me too Zoe! Only trouble is often they don't tick off on one of the lists!!! Think most of my challenges will have to carry on into 2013!!

I'm doing all those challenges as well, just have to remember to check each time I'm reading a book to see if it fits any particular category.. lol
