I read Djinn City by Saad Hossain which is set in Bangladesh. I didn't love it (only gave it 2 stars) - way too long and the awesome story got lost as the other complicated it with too many plots.
Challenge complete. I read I see London, I see France, a YA novel about a backpacking trip through Europe. I enjoyed following their itinerary and visiting the tourist attractions with them, going from London via Amsterdam and Bruges to Paris, Switserland, the French Riviera and then Italy. It made me want to keep reading.
Challenge Completed What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon.
Ireland revolution. Wow! Great read.
Challenging completed. Apeirogon by Colum McCann follows the lives of two family’s from either side of the Israel/Palestinian boarder. It was an interesting read but I can’t say I actually enjoyed it.
