Looks like a great batch of places you have in store. I will be excited for Switzerland in June 2016. Is there any chance that you may conduct a second visit to a particular place if need be? Otherwise, it will be exciting to introduce regions in France to the equation. I was always interested in reading more French literature.

Countries with larger amounts of literature will definitely be visited more frequently.
Can't wait! I am finally kind of figuring out how this group works.

Wow, Diane, you certainly have some plan! I hope I will be able to be more active in the group next year :-)
PS. You have two Champagne's in the Tour de France, one in October and the other in December, was that intentional?

I joined ATW80 several months ago but haven't participated much in the group. I was wondering if there's an introductions thread, or if I can just jump in wherever.Jim

Glad to see Bulgaria as May's country. I will be doing a 10-day tour of Bulgaria in May and have started reading books about the country and by Bulgaria authors. I highly recommend the non-fiction book The Left Side of History: World War II and the Unfulfilled Promise of Communism in Eastern Europe by Kristen Ghodsee.
Great selection of books! I especially look forward to seeing what people are reading for Switzerland, Latvia and Kyrgyzstan...thanks so much for this great book group!
Is the thread for monthly themed challenges up already or was that cancelled?
