Around the World Challenge 2016

Hosted by All About Books

AROUND THE WORLD 2016 CHALLENGE

I participated in this last year and quite enjoyed it though I forgot to add a few locations from a few books. It's a lot of fun to see where all you have been throughout the world in your imagination.

This challenge is just for fun and can be used as motivation to read more books with diverse settings. 

There are mini challenges that seem like a lot of fun to attempt such as reading a book for each continent and reading a book for each state in the US but I'm not going to make any of them a priority. I will go back at the end of the year and see if I've completed any of them, though.
