I have set up my own thread as I find it much easier to keep track of the yearly challenge rather than having my post lost amongst others.

For now, I'm starting with the UK and Ireland. I may choose to expand over the summer and include books set in Europe or America (both north and south).

I don't have a set goal, at the minute I would just like to read at least one book set in each country I put down, I may put in more than one, simply to keep track of it.

I have already finished two books for England, despite the author being from Australia, The Dictionary of Lost Words was set in Oxford, England and Tess of the D'Urbervilles in set in a fictional English town, so I have included that.
