European Reading Challenge 2022
Tenth Anniversary Edition!

Hosted by: Gilion @ Rose City Reader

Dates: January 1 - December 31, 2022 (new timeframe for 2022)

Guidelines (quoted from the announcement page):

The idea is to read books set in European countries or books by European authors. The books can be of any genre – fiction, nonfiction, novels, short stories, memoirs, travel guides, cookbooks, biography, poetry, whatever. You can participate at different levels, but each book must represent a different country – either written by an author from a different country or set in a different country, no two books from the same country. It's supposed to be a tour!

• Overlap with other challenges is allowed – and encouraged! 
• Re-reads count. 
• Audiobooks count. 
• E-books count. 
• Self-published books count. 
• There will be a page for linking your reviews. Reviews are not necessary, unless you are going for the Jet Setter Prize, in which case only books reviewed count.
• If you do not have a blog, put your reviews or reports in a comment on the review list page. 
• There will be a page for posting links to wrap-up posts.
