I’m very glad that the Orbis Terrarum challenge is back, this time with its own blog! While the premise remains the same-travelling through lit-the rules have changed a little. It runs ten months this year (March-Dec.) and requires readers to choose ten books by ten different authors from ten different countries.  Last year, I made a list that changed a lot.  This year, I am not going to make a list before hand and see where my reading takes me!  Stay tuned for some spontaneous and fun travels. 

1. Who by Fireby Diana Spechler (United States).  For my first book, I did not travel very far from home.  You can find my review here.
2. White Tigerby Aravind Adiga(India, his country of birth).  I finished this book in July 2009 while in Thailand.  You can find my review here.
3. They Plotted Revenge Against America by Abe F. March (Germany, he was born in the US but currently resides in Germany).  I finished the book in May 2009.  You can find my review here.
