Thank you so much for this great challenge! This was nothing but pleasure and fun, what a ride! So I read ten books (3405 pages): three books (902 pages) in Finnish, four books (1545 pages) in English and three books (958 pages) in Swedish :D Because I had difficulties to find books for some tasks I got ideas from others who are reading for this challenge. OMG! I found Sawyer Bennett! Now I'm mourning because I have to buy more her books and they're hard to get here in Finland. I don't do e-books but maybe I have to reconsider that…
So thank you one more time, it was nice that it was only ten books and three months… and who wouldn't love carnivals??
Mod
Thank you Johanna! I love Sawyer Bennett too!
I hope you find other challenges to try. Also, you do not have to show the books in English if you have read them in another language, unless you want to.
