The Orbis Terrarum Reading Challenge was the first challenge I took part in and it was very exciting! I love traveling so reading around the world was a treat for me. Here are the rules of the challenge in case you still want to take part, the challenge ends in November, so there's still time!
Orbis Terrarum 2010 Challenge Rules:
*The Orbis Terrarum Challenge begins April,1st 2010(you are welcome to join later) through the month of November.
*For the challenge each reader is to choose 8 books (for the 8 months of the challenge).
*Each book must from a different country, I have decided to go by the country of origin of the author, or the country he/she lives in is fine as well-meaning NOT the country the book is set in!
*You don’t have to have a list, that means you can change your mind at any time. As long as there are 8 books you have completed the challenge.
Here are all the books I read:
1. United Kingdom: Twenties Girl - Sophie Kinsella
2. Sri Lanka: The Road from Elephant Pass - Nihal de Silva
3. New Zealand: Novel about My Wife - Emily Perkins
4. North America: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet - Jamie Ford
5. Cambodia: The Road of Lost Innocence - Somaly Mam
6. Pakistan: Half Life - Roopa Farooki
7. South Africa: People Like Ourselves - Pamela Jooste
8. Iran: Rooftops of Tehran - Mahbod Seraji
