Read the World
readtheworld is a book challenge community, which aims to read books from as many countries as possible in 365 days.
The premise is that in one year, you will read books either set in a different country or written by authors born in different countries. There are three challenge levels as well so that it suits everyone.
We start reading our way around the world the 23rd April 2010 (on the World Book Day!) and end 22nd April 2011.
If you like reading and want a new challenge, do join us!
