MY SIGN UP POST
This is my sign up post for the 2023 European Reading Challenge. If you want to join me -- and I hope you do -- please go to the main challenge page, here. You will find details and a Linky box to add a link to your own sign up post. You can play along through your own blog, a social media profile, or just in the comments on the Challenge pages. Join us to take the Grand Tour of Europe in books!
2023 is the 11th year of the European Reading Challenge and the 11th year I am signing up for the Five Star (Deluxe Entourage) Level to read five books set in different European countries or written by authors from five different countries. I have not been good about reviewing the books I read, but that may change as things slow down a bit for me at work (knock wood) and I have a little more time to play with this blog.
MY ERC BOOKS
I haven't picked the books I am going to read for this challenge. The books in the photo above are some possibilities. As I read qualifying books, I will list them here.
UPDATE: I finished the challenge by reading books set in 12 different European countries or written by authors from different countries. Four were books in translation, which is better than usual for me but I'd still like to read more books by non-American, UK, or Irish authors.
1. The Big Four by Agatha Christie (UK)
2. A German Requiem by Philip Kerr (Germany)
3. Even the Dead by Benjamin Black (Ireland)
4. The Snowman by Jo Nesbo (Sweden)
5. The Red Notebook by Antoine Laurain (France)
6. April in Spain by John Banville (Spain)
7. The Cloister and the Hearth by Charles Reade (Holland)
8. Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher (Czech Republic)
9. The Flight of the Falcon by Daphne du Maurier (Italy)
10. Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz (Poland)
11. Scandinavian Noir: In Pursuit of a Mystery by Wendy Lesser (Norway)
12. War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy (Russia)
