Around the World discussion

My reading plan is to get my regions listed more or less and build on my list from there. I wont be making a special travel itinerary I'll just be hopping from country to country in no particular order. I will be classifying by setting and I'll be reading from any genre that suits my mood.

I try not to plan my reading to far ahead because I like to switch genres to keep it interesting.

I'm not very good at reviewing but I do try to write a short paragraph or two.

My goal is to have fun and hopefully learn a little bit about other cultures and places with this challenge... :)

Seeing if I can squeeze in one more book before the end of the year.

Well, out of those three The Shadow of the Wind was definitely my favorite. :) Three Bags Full was a little draggy but it did have a good conclusion, who would have thought about sheep as detectives? lol. Moloka'i was on the sad side, so much dieing but it was interesting to learn about Hawaii's Leprosy colony, something I never knew anything about until I came across this book.

I'm going to continue building on this list in 2013, so many places to still travel too. :)

We will all be stalking your list in anticipation ;)

lol, my list is not as exciting as some of you all's lists. :)

I'm going to keep plugging away on this list again this year. :)
