Sara the Linda Gillard book you just finished counts too! She lives in Scotland!

Here is my Pinterest Board with Scottish authors/locations: http://www.pinterest.com/jbsamwise/bo...

Peggy, I would, it's just that I read the book a long time ago and only added the grade now..
Julie, I will take a look!

Julie, I like your Pinterest board, it's a lovely idea to have one just for the challenge! I think I'll start my own - I'm only reading women writers.

If you do start one, i'd love to have the link

Well, I sat down with a cup of tea after lunch and of course, I had to start, being a Pinterest addict. It's only a start, I shall keep adding throughout the year - I've already added a number of authors that other people here have recommended.

You both have my blog link to my list. A variety of Scottish settings, Scottish writers, paranormal, mystery, and general life. :) http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2013/11...

No book from Scotland in February, but now in March I'vre read one. And it's a book that gives food for thoughts.


So, 3 books read so far. I'll manage 6 more books from Scotland this year, I hope!

I heard about Shona MacLeans books here- and am pleased to say I now have three of them, and plan to spend some time in 17th century Scotland. The first one, "The redemption of Alexander Seaton", is now read.


4 books read, and keeping a steady pace opf one book per month for this challenge, which will make me finish on time!

I've finished the second book about Alexander Seaton. A bit more happening in this book than in the first.

But most of it takes place in Ireland.. still a Scottish writer, though. I'm early this month- maybe I'll have time for another book for this challenge in May?

It seems I didn't read another book for this challenge after all last month- but I did read one this month!

I´ve read Denise Mina before and always more or less enjoyed her books. This one started out a bit confusing, but I think it was meant to, that you were meant to see a pattern only later in the book.
Anyway, book 6- only three more books to go, surely I will manage that before the year ends.

This book I read in July. Andrew Greig is one of my big favourites.

His books do look good. I will keep my eyes open for some!

Yes, do that, the language is more than a little poetic.

This looks like a very good book. I've just added it to my ever-growing queue.

It did give me some thoughts and insights.

This is a new edition of Ian Rankin's "Knots and crosses" in Swedish, and nice to go back to the beginning of a series that I love. Read it in October.

I read another Rankin in August, "Dead souls".

This ond I read in September, bit I'm still not sure if I like it. Or, well, I guess I did like it, since I read it.
