European Reading Challenge 2014 Sign Up

 

Of course I'm signing up for the European Challenge again - between my love of all things English and World War II obsession, I have at least three countries without doing anything!  Maybe I'll try to do some countries I didn't make it to last year.  Like last year, I'll try to include translated works and authors of a variety of countries, but I do not expect to be quite as involved in this one as last year - I may not make it double digits this year.

 

Each book needs to be a different country and different author to count.

 

The countries: Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and Vatican City.

2. The Soldier's Song by Alan Monaghan (Ireland; Irish)
3. No One is Here Except All of Us by Ramona Ausubel (Romania; American - of Romanian descent)
