Goodreads Recommends--Europe!
Doing this while I still have a relatively high amount of free time before the New Year. Tonight we'll look at what Goodreads recommends to me based on my Europe shelf. Here I place books that are either set in Europe (other than the British Isles) or are written by European authors. Naturally, this results in a mixed bag of actual genres. There does seem to be a certain amount of overlap with the British shelf.
