Countries, States and Provinces
Starting Jan 1, 2008 I started to track my books geographically trying to read my way around the world. I've seen some people participating in challenges and projects similar to this but rather than join something I'm just keeping track here by myself. Fantasy, Sci-fi, alternate realities will not be included in this list, only realistic fiction.

I've sort of started to do this, but I need to find a system to keep track. Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Trish. I'm not sure how this list will be organized yet. Canada and US will be separate as I want to keep track of all the provinces and states. But for the rest of the world I'm still wondering whether to go alphabetical or by continent or what? It'll evolve as I add books to it, I'm sure.
