For summer - or winter if you are in the Southern Hemisphere - members said they would love to read a book set in Europe, or if you live in Europe, set in Australia / New Zealand.

Tell us your books in this thread, and suggest some titles for others.

This is the page with the challenge listed, where you can sign up to read.

https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/...

Sign up to the challenge, which is shown at the top of the discussions on the Group Home Page.
If you don't see the latest active challenge click the link Challenges or use the link above this paragraph.

You will be asked which shelf the books to read are on. If you say horse and you do not have a horse bookshelf, Goodreads will put one in to your personal list of shelves.
When you complete a read you have placed on that shelf, Goodreads sees the progress.

Now the challenge registers that you have read some of the books.

You might decide to name it challenge shelf so it would be used for challenges in any other Group too.
Tell us your titles in this thread.

Authors are allowed to mention their own suitable books, as they could read their own books for this challenge.
Series are allowed too.

Have fun!

"Emma Berry (nee Haythorne) is an outspoken young woman living on her family’s pastoral station on the Murray River in the 1870s. Her penchant for getting involved in murder and mysteries, and refusing to step away, has caused one neighbour, (male, of course) to refer to her as ‘too big for her britches.’ With life turning out as dangerous and complex...
The series starts with book one Saddled with Death."
