47. A book with an eccentric character: by Alfred Uhry - Miss Daisy
48. A book that's more than 800 pages: Giant Print Reference Bible-KJV-Classic by Anonymous / The Daughters of the Aristocracy: Boxed Set by Linda Rae Sande / Shooting Eros / Camel Club Box / The Third Rule / Evidence series box / PAVAD Box / The Pj Sugar Collection / Gone With the Wind / Texas Boardinghouse Brides Trilogy / Sophie's Daughters Trilogy / The Crittendon Files Trilogy / The Titan Series Box / Sinful Nights Box / Deep Haven Collection 1 / Broslin Creek
49. A book you got from a used book sale: = by J.D. Robb

51. A book about a difficult topic: by Jürgen Mette lit. translation: Everything but Spillikins: My Life In Face of Parkinson's Disease
52. A book based on mythology: Robin Hood / Ivanhoe

I have some questions:
1) A book in translation does it mean any book translated into a different lanuage, a book other than in the original language or a book that is in translation right now?

2) A book by an #ownvoices or #diversebooiks author: What are these and where can I find those? My search engine as well as listopia didn't give me anything that makes sense or at least nothing related to books :-(

3) A book set somewhere you've never been but would like to visit: Can we use fictional locations or Heaven as well? The two places on earth I wanted to visit I've already been there and I'm not much of a traveller :-)

I'm in and start with 15 (but hope for at least 20)

Thank you!

Since I read so much this year, I start with 150 and will adjust mid-year if necessary!

Cassandra, I need some clarification!

Read books originally published in languages other than your own. => I was born in Poland, but spend more than 2/3 of my life in Germany and read mostly books in English since about five years. Would that mean I cannot choose any of those languages or should I choose books not in German / from Germany since that's the language and culture I'm most familiar with by now? And could I also count books written in/translated to Polish or English since I'm struggling with both languages pretty much or at least I'm not fluent in (any more)?

I'm in it - sounds fun :-)
