You read some good books in January with varied locales. Hope February is just as good.
I'm loving using this map so much! It's wonderful seeing which countries you've "visited". I certainly read quite a few books outside the US this time, and would love to continue the trend.
Diane--January felt like a really great reading month so I hope the trend continues in 2011!
Aths--I am such a geography geek that the map is perfect for me. Actually, it combines maps, books, and technology so really, it's all good!
I found you from the mystery and thriller challenge and commented on your Murder on the Down Low review. Definitely would recommend reading Buying Time also.
I'm a new follower.
I looks like you got a lot of good books read in January! I'll be putting my January wrap-up post together sometime this week, I'm not quite sure how many books I've read so far.
I have the same Washington point as you, the Art of Racing In The Rain :) Have fun Helene - I am loving my map!
Marce--I saw your other comment and am going to look into getting Buying Time sometime this week. Thank you!
Alyce--Can't wait to see your wrap up as well. For me, January was a really good reading month and I hope February is awesome as well
Sheila--Racing in the Rain was SO good. Thank you for the map challenge/idea!
Wow, looks like you are making some serious progress on your challenges already! Nice work!
Amused--I must admit that I schedule books for my challenges early in the year to make sure I complete them without panicking at the end :-)
