Kristy’s Comments (group member since Dec 04, 2017)

Kristy’s comments from the Around the World in 80 Books group.

Good to know! I figured there may be some.

April's number is 4 which is Our Story: Aboriginal Voices on Canada's Past. I've been meaning to read this for ages so I'm glad it was picked for this month. I still need to go back and read February's pick. Hopefully I get to it this month.

For March I read The Boy on the Wooden Box. I loved it. Review below:

I didn't have time to read February's pick so I am adding that to this month's tbr. March's number (17) is The Boy on the Wooden Box. I've had this for a while and am excited to read it finally!

My #9 is Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood. I'm excited to start this graphic novel memoir about a girl growing up in Iran.

Up next, #9: Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

January's read was The Unbearable Lightness of Being. My review can be seen here:

Thanks, Diane! I'm excited for those three. They've been on my list for a while.

Hi! I'm Kristy and I live in the US. I wish I could travel the world, but since that's not currently a feasible option, I'm becoming an armchair traveler instead!

I'm so glad to have found this group as I one of my reading goals is to read a book from every country. I'm excited to find a group with similar goals and an extensive list of international books that I hope to add to. Looking forward to next year's challenges!
