Welcome, Aubrey! You've read some great books, including a few books I have been eying for a while. Enjoy your journey! If you don't finish this year, you can always continue into next year.
Thank you for the welcome, Diane. I'm hoping that this challenge will make me read more translations, so the different countries are an added bonus.
