Dina Batista As my pile of books to read is increasing dangerously I decided it to participate in challenges that could keep me acountable and help reach my goal for 2017. I read 75 books last year and I know I could do better this year, maybe not 100 but I will try.

Hi Lisa, I must say that Stefan Zweig books have been my favorites this year, I just descover him this year and it's been great.
I love the french writer Guillaume Musso, really loved "la fille de papier", just try it if it's your style!!!

Haha I speak a few others in addition to those two :)
Portuguese I had to learn because we lived in Mozambique for three years when I was younger.
French was simply the language that interested me most when given the choice between French and German in school :D
