Thanks Brenda :)

A day late (and a dollar short) for my #4 Place Name Idaho by Emily Ruskovich.

Beautiful writer but too many extraneous characters who just annoyed me. She's so good, though, I look forward to more.

3.5� because I was annoyed.
My review
/review/show...

Well, I bit off a little too much but got through 4/5 so happy and feeling accomplished. Two of the books I have had on my shelf for eons and am now so very sad I took so long to read them as they were brilliant. For reviews go to my page. My 5th book will now become my first for the next challenge as the dust cover has a few colours for me to choose from.

Congratulations Kerrie! 4/5 is excellent :)

Finally finished the November "Armchair Traveller" Challenge. It was most enjoyable, and I managed to knock off all 5 categories. I used to worry that I was the only person in the world who had never read a Harry Potter book, but this challenge gave me the opportunity to redress that deficit. Now I know what all the fuss is about!
1). Geographical Setting: Read a book set in a different country than your own.
Fragile by Lisa Unger 3.5★s (Set in USA)
2). Travel to a Different Genre: Read a book from a genre you haven't explored before/for a long time.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling 4★s (Speculative fiction and YA fiction are genres that I rarely, if ever, read.)
3). Cover Hunt: Read a book with a picture of a mode of transport on the cover.
Nine Days by Toni Jordan 4.5★s (Train)

4). Title: Read a book with a PLACE NAME in the title
Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog: Sniffing Out the Perfect Plot in Provence by Jamie Ivey 3★s (Set in Provence, France)
5).Reader’s Choice: Read any book of your choice.
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal 4.5★s (Set in USA)

Congratulations Mary! Great effort - and good on you for Harry! I haven't read it either, much to my grandson's disgust! lol

I'm back in Australia again! I did manage to complete Gemina while overseas so all but Shannara have been read from this list :)

2. Travel to a Different Genre:

4. Title: The Four Legendary Kingdoms - Matthew Reilly * ~4 stars
5.Reader’s Choice: Gemina - Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff * ~4.5 stars

Well done Karen!

I finished the challenge BUT.... I was 2 days over the deadline. I haven't read to a deadline before so it was interesting how it nagged on my mind to get back to the books.

Haha! Congratulations Halle! Great job :)
