2021 European Reading Challenge Wrap-Up

At the start of the year, I embarked on a virtual tour of Europe, thanks to Rose City Reader’s European Reading Challenge. The idea of the challenge being to read books by European authors or books that are based in different European countries.

There are various levels at which you can join the challenge. I decided to participate at the Five Star level, meaning I had to try to read 5 European books this year. Well, I achieved that! And more, as I read a total of 17 books for this challenge. Click on the links to read my reviews (a few of these books I have read quite recently and haven’t had time to post reviews yet. The links will take you to the book’s Goodreads page).

Below is a breakdown of the books, by country:

Thanks to this challenge I have discovered books and authors that I probably never would have come across otherwise. It really has helped to broaden my literary horizons and I think I may join this challenge again next year just to “visit” those countries that I missed.
