Around the world in 80 books challenge
I know I have more than enough challenges to complete but when I saw this one I could not resist! The idea is wonderful!
As I did not manage to finish it in 2012 (which is not surprising), I chose another level, Circumnavigator, which means there is no deadline to read the 80 books.Around the world in 80 books challenge 2012Organised by: Diane @ GoodreadsFromThe idea is to read 80 books from different countries around the world. There are eight different regions that must be visited but otherwise, you are free to chose which countries you want to see. To be valid, books must take place in the country. For detailed rules, follow the link.October 1st 2011 to December 31st 2012=> NO DEADLINEThere are two different levels: I chose the easiest one, which is frequent flyer.

Si jamais pour la catégorie Afrique tu peux lire "Sous les étoiles du Rwanda" de Mathilde Fontanet et d'Odette Habiyakare. C'est une histoire vraie très poignante selon ma mère (je ne l'ai pas encore lu). Bon je te laisse, je vais continuer à étudier. Bonnes vacances!
