Summer Vacation Reading Challenge complete


This challenge was hosted by Molly at My Cozy Book Nook. The goal was to read either 3 or 6 books between May 22 (just prior to Memorial Day) and September 7 (Labor Day). Books could be from any genre, but they had to allow you to "travel" to a locale that you would like to visit. I love to travel and I love reading about traveling, so I was thrilled to join this challenge.

I chose the Globe Trotter option. Here's what I read:

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood by Alexandra Fuller -- completed 8/21/09; review here

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert -- completed 7/5/09; review here

Everyday Life in Imperial Japan by Charles J. Dunn -- completed 6/7/09; review here

A Fez of the Heart: Travels around Turkey in Search of a Hat by Jeremy Seal -- completed 8/3/09; review

Honeymoon in Purdah: An Iranian Journey by Alison Wearing -- completed 6/12/09; review here

Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik -- completed 8/15/09; review here

Somehow I must have missed this challenge (or completely spaced it out). Sounds like it would have been fun!
