message 1: by Hollie (new)

Hollie Aside from the normal monthly book there will also be a second book with a recurring theme. From January until June the theme will be one continent each month. You can interpret this any way you like, however you see fit. Your book just either needs to be set in the monthly continent of choice, traveling round it or in one country with in it. Personally I think choosing a book where the location plays a large role in the story would work best but it's not for me to decide.

Please vote for up to 3 books in order of preference, title and name of author would help greatly.

Januarys theme is Africa.

If you click on one of the books and then look down the right side of the screen you'll see that it falls under the category Africa - click on the word and it will show you books that fall under the same category:)
