... to take on another challenge. But I’ve just discovered that Lesley at A Life in Books is hosting
And so of course I hopped straight out of my chair to rummage through my TBR box in search of anything that might qualify. I mean, I’m going to read them anyway, right? So I might as well read them as part of a challenge ... (how good am I at justification?). And the winners are:
My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin - AustraliaPossibly to be interchanged with:
1876 by Gore Vidal - 19th-century America (overlap with TBR Challenge)
The Last King of Scotland by Giles Foden - Uganda
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera - Czechoslovakia
Stargazing: Memoirsof a Yong Lighthouse Keeper by Peter Hill - a lighthouse somewhere
The Bafut Beagles by Gerald Durrell - Cameroon
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende - ChileIt is only one book a month.
The Goldsmith’s Wife by Jean Plaidy - 12th-century England
And anything I’ve forgotten or might stumble across later.
