Reading The World Challenge

This is personal challenge with the goal to read a book representing every country in the world. It was started by Caribousmom and it is a perpetual challenge with no time limit. I love reading books that help me discover new places and people, and this challenge will help me be more aware of such books and broaden my horizon. This page will list all the books I have read in the past and will be reading.

I have just recently created this page and it is far from complete but I will update it periodically.
