Sure you can pick different countries. There are way more countries that celebrate Midsummer's eve than there are in this list."

Thanks!

[Angelique]

Updated msg 37 - 2/11

[Megan BG]

Finally finished one!

The Netherlands: The Goldfinch

I think that counts. Most of it might be in the US, but a significant (I'd say most important) part of it happens in the Netherlands.

[Scott]

Megan, Maybe just about everything in the present happens in the Netherlands and the rest of the story is Theo remembering how he got there.

Yes, that's true. Didn't it start in Amsterdam? That was so long ago, I can't remember. :)

[Ariel]

Update 10|10 [DONE!!] :) (Message 17), please.

I cut it close with this one but loved the books it lead me to. So fun. :)

Cassandra did you start the gender book? It sounds interesting

[Megan BG]

3: United States: Where She Went

Done!

Now to look for something that will finish the other June challenge!

[Cassandra]

Scott, I'm actually not going to get to it this month. I started an internship this past week and have been too exhausted when I come home to get much reading done. I hope this month will be better once I settle in!

So what did you think of Les Miserable? I'm also working my way through it at the moment. Not too fond of the description of the battle of Waterloo, but I do like the story of Jean Valjean so far.
