Reading All Around the World challenge from Howling Frog Books
- Read a nonfiction book about the country – or
- Read fiction written by a native of the country or someone living for a long time in the country.
Nothing. Sad.
I love the cover of The Clocks of London. I hope you have a wonderful August.

Great reading month! I have Internment here to read and also really want to read The True Queen. I’m not doing any challenges except for Goodreads this year. I enjoy finding books like Wicked Fox that are set in foreign countries.
Nice! I herd that Defede’s book was fabulous. Here is my wrap-up: https://wordsandpeace.com/2019/08/01/2019-may-june-july-wrap-up/

I’ve had quite a run of Asian novels over the past couple of months. I just finished Sarong Party Girls yesterday which is written by a Singaporean author in Singlish so that was fun 🙂
I lvoe the reading map. I’ve tried diversify my reading this year by purposefully choosing books from countries I haven’t read before. Sometimes its the author and sometimes it is the book’s setting (often it is both).
