I just thought of this when I saw your comment: my niece actually gave me, for Christmas, chocolate from about 8 different countries! I will have to make it my goal to read a book from each one of them soon!

Thanks, Indrani. I am really enjoying this challenge because I love to read books about other countries, cultures, and people. I don't read 80 in one year (because there are so many good ones set in countries I've already read from), but I am slowly making my way around the world. One of the many reasons I love the flexibility of this challenge!
