Ruth Ann (moodygrl00) | 98 comments Finished with level 1, onto level 2. I had to change one of the countries to make the challenge work for me. I'm happy with my reading so far.

Diane | 287 comments Great job Ruth Ann! It's an accomplishment to get to level 4. Only one of our countries overlap - United States. Becoming is a good idea for my non-fiction level.


message 9: by Ruth Ann (new)

Ruth Ann (moodygrl00) | 98 comments I finished all of my levels! That was a fun challenge. I may choose another country and go through all four levels again.

Congratulations on completing the challenge!

I'm also choosing one country and going thru all 4 levels. I like completing each level one at a time so I can concentrate on that country.

Becoming was my choice for this level as well. Loved the audiobook read by the author.
