Hey all!

For those that have done the states and/or ATW challenge; here is an expansion on that idea. Reading all the cities from that state/country/region.

Same rules of engagement.
1) Read at your own pace
2) No time limit
3) No genre focus required

**Update:

Cities listed for Europe: https://www.coe.int/en/web/intercultu...

Africa: *Please note; the list looks short, but you must scroll that list!! There are 500 cities. https://worldpopulationreview.com/cit...

South America: https://worldpopulationreview.com/cit...
Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Antarctica: NONE! 😂 - Explanation: There are no cities in Antarctica because of the continent's climate, terrain, remoteness, and lack of natural resources.

Ex: Afghanistan cities challenge:

Chaghcharan • Charikar • Farah • Ghazni • Herat • Jalalabad • Kabul • Kandahar • Khost • Kunduz • Lashkargah • Mazar • Mihtarlam • Puli Alam • Puli Khumri • Sari Pul • Sheberghan • Taloqan

***You would attempt to read a book based in that city, or author who lives there. Some of these countries will be really hard. So, doing a US states challenge may be easier.

I'll have to take a look at this one. It sounds interesting.

Yeah; I want to do cities in the U.S. once I get most of my states done. I'm pretty close.

Not sure about cities in countries, though; unless they are more "popular" countries or industrialized nations.

Carolien (carolien_s) | 571 comments This is a great idea, Alondra! I'll probably put together a cathedral cities of England challenge - will give me a great excuse to visit the cathedrals if I cannot find a book for a city!

That sounds fabulous, Carolien! You always have a bunch of great ideas for challenges.

I hope you are doing well!
