This is my first year of participating in the 2019 European Reading Challenge which is hosted by Gilion @ Rose City Reader
This is my wrap up post but I never did get around to posting any of these review links at Rose City Reader. I’ve enjoyed doing this challenge although I joined up fairly late in the year, with the aim of getting me out of my usual reading comfort zone. In fact I think I got mixed up between this challenge and something else as I had it in my mind that the books should have been originally written in another language – but I was wrong about that. Anyway, it’s just a bit of fun so – here goes.
FRANCE – A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel.
VATICAN CITY – In the Name of the Family by Sarah Dunant.
RUSSIA – The White Guard by Mikhael Bulgakov.
GERMANY – A Woman in Berlin by Marta Hillers.
BELGIUM – An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer.
ICELAND – Snowblind by Ragnor Jonasson.
IRELAND – The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien.
ITALY – A Nest of Vipers by Andrea Camilleri
FINLAND – The Exploits of Moominpappa by Tove Jansson
SCOTLAND– Miss Marjoribanks by Margaret Oliphant.
These challenges are always great for encouraging us to “go abroad”. Looks like you had a great trip!
FictionFan,
I did have a great trip – and no delays!
This sounds like a very good list for the European Reading Challenge. I also read Snowblind by Ragnor Jonasson this year for the challenge. AND you have given me some good suggestions for next year, especially your books for Finland, Belgium, and Vatican City.
tracybham,
It was your review of Snowblind which prompted me to request it from the library! I’ll be signing up again for the European Challenge.
