Hey international traveler peeps!
So this is our 6th month, and so you should be working on your 6th book in August.
To add in a little excitement I have a great book to giveaway this month. It is one of my favourite reads, so stay in touch.
Post your reviews in the comments, Mr Linky is still down, I think I will give up on it.
Be sure to include the nation of origin (or where he/she resides or resided or if you are choosing to go with where the author was born) of the author, as well as the title of the book. For example: (Absent by Khedairi- Iraq)or (Half of a Yellow Sun - Nigeria)
Make sure you head over to each other's reviews to comment! We all love comments :)
Enjoy your reading travels.
EDIT: Mister Linky is BACK!! Just when I had given up! :)

I'm still here. As confused as ever I'm trying to organize my wanderlust challenge. I am really enjoying it. I'm just a confused person.:(

I just read Mosaic by Soheir Kashoggi. The author is from Egypt. But the book is set in New York and Jordan.
I liked it. :)
I just finished Sea of Poppies from India. I'm still undecided about this book and I've explained why in my review!

Yay! Glad you got Mister Linky back up. Wish I had learned about that months ago when it was actually fixed--what a pain!
Just finished A Golden Age about Pakistan-Bangladesh War. Interesting book, wonderful writing, but not a favorite of mine. Everyone else loves it, though! Definitely worth at least trying...
Veens( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) - England! -http://nidhiveens-loveforbooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-harry.html
Loved the 7th installment completely!
I recently read The Girl Who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson. The book is written and based in SWeden!
Also read Nefertiti by Michelle Moran
This one is by an US Author but is set in Ancient Egypt! Loved this one!
My 5th Book! YAY!
Vietnam was my 10th book in the overall Orbis Terrarum Challenge this year - I have a few left in the Bilingual Challenge, though!
