Use this topic to discuss whether you enjoyed your March picks from Norway, and whether you'd recommend it to your fellow readers! Did you find it easy/difficult to complete this task?Please tag all spoilers in this post!
Use this post to discuss what will be your March picks!For this year's challenge, we'll be reading books written by authors born in the country of the month, but the language it was written in doesn't matter. The genre of the book also doesn't matter.
March's month is NORWAY.

I may finally read Varjak Paw. It's been on my list forever. Also, anyone who is into graphic novels and supernatural stories, there is a cat in the Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites collection.
I decided on Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett. I think I'll love it! I put it on hold at the library.
I've no idea what I will read, gonna do some searching today and try to find something. Also the ONTD post is up now!

Because of this challenge I've racked a TON of non fiction books. I've been on a kid's nonfiction mythical creature/werewolf binge lol, so a lot of these are super short...
I also read a couple of nonfiction books on reason
This was a cool collection of short stories that had intros and discussions about robotics for each story
I got on a computer/privacy/data kick this year
and finally, this - which was short and SO GOOD
I looked through my shelf and realized I read more books set in other countries than I thought!
South Africa
Egypt
England
Also England
Nigeria
Iceland
the Congo

Post will be up tomorrow (morning, eastern US time)

Super late wrap-up post, so if you haven't already shared what you read this month please feel free to leave a comment here!
Apologies everyone. I had a bit of a month with moving and other stuff. We'll try to get the post up within the next few days!
We don’t like it when the same news gets posted twice on ONTD, but when it comes to books, the same story can be told in many different ways and still charm the reader. This month, let’s read a retelling!
