There are a few ways you can "work your journal".
✱ Complete one, two, three or four full lists of 22 from below.
✱ Complete two or four mini lists (2X11 OR 4X11).
✱ Mix full lists and mini lists to equal sets of 22 (2X22 AND 2X11) to suit your reading goals.

Challenge Rules: All forms of books are accepted as long as they are 100 pages or more. When posting updates of completed books, please include a link to the title and author’s name, along with the date you finished reading the book.

Enjoy your travels Louise!

I have a couple of questions. (Of course. lol)
Can fictional places be fictional cities in real states or countries? Or are they all fantasy places?
Are different cities meant to be large cities or do real towns or villages count?

Hi Teri - good questions!
Yes, the fictional places can be in real states or countries. As long as the city/town itself does not exist.
And there is no population limit to the "real" cities. So real towns and villages do count.

Thanks. That helps clarify things for me.
