40 Books Around the World

It's been a while since I've written, but I wanted to start blogging about a particular subject! My friend, Amanda, and I are starting a literary journey around the world. It is comprised of 40 books that are set in different areas around the world. I have only ever traveled out of this country like 3 times, twice to Mexico, and it is so close that I don't even think of it as leaving the country. But I am super excited about starting. We are starting in America and working our way through latin and south america and then over to africa up to europe and then asia, finally ending in america again. One thing I am worried about is being interested in the books. I usually am good about staying interested but I have a feeling that I will struggle with some, but that is ok. The other thing I am worried about is wanting to run off to countries I read about. It will be so tempting. I imagine this will take us a while, but I am ready. Amanda will be headed to Japan in September and therefore we will have to communicate over e-mails and such to talk about the books. Well I wanted to tell whoever reads this about it. I am fixing to start the first book right now...It is "Challenge the Wind" by Debra Tash! I will tell you about it when I finish! Well that's all for now! I hope you have a summer reading list ready! Enjoy

  1. I'm having the same feeling about whether or not I'll make it through some of them - but we can do it! A journey always has some high and some low points!

    Book One: Begin!
    HUGS and here's to a journey we won't forget!

  2. Oh...it is hard for me to imagine you having a problem staying interested in a book. Did you guys pick some boring ones?

  3. Daniel - I don't think we picked boring ones, and if we did it was unintentional. There are always a few books I have a very hard time getting through but I cannot let it be unfinished. Especially on this journey I am determined to finish every book on that list!!
