[Margot]

Hello! I am from Montreal, Quebec.

[Sylvie]

Hi everyone! I live inTampa but my roots are in Montreal. So I read both French and English. I find it great to have all the people from everywhere around the world in this book club.

I got an idea as I was reading all these hellos from various countries around the world. Could we have a challenge to read books written by an author in a different country?
- hopefully translated in English! ;-).
Maybe we could start a foreign book list of recommendations. Since I just joined this group I'm not sure it is fitting and I apologize if this is not quite in this club practices. I'm a newbie here. I just got enthousiastic seeing all the great people from everywhere and I'm an avid reader and I love learning about different countries and other cultures :-)

[Rach , Moderator]
