The challenge is open-ended.
The world has so much to offer, yet most of us probably don’t travel as much as we’d like to. Good thing that we can escape to different places with our books.
The Challenge
1. Sign up here and I will create a challenge thread for you.
2. For each continent, you need to read 4 books, each one set in a different country. You will be rewarded 1 point per country, an extra 3 points for completing a continent and an extra 5 points for completing the world.
3. You need to complete continent after continent, you cannot read for example one book for Asia and then one book for Africa and after that go back to Asia. You can, however, choose the order of the continents. You can use any country on the respective continent, just don’t forget that you can’t read for a country twice. Since there are some countries that can be counted toward multiple continents, I will provide you with a list that shows you which one I will count them toward in this challenge. Books need to be set in that country at least 50% of the story.
4. If you are stuck, please let me know in your thread. You can then read a book for a country in that continent you have already read a book for. PLEASE NOTE that you can only use this out once for free throughout the challenge. After that, it will cost you 4 points per book.
5. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:

6. If you don't have a personal point account yet, request one here.
7. General challenge rules apply. The completion date of a book counts. Do not use books you completed before I posted your next set of tasks.
