Books in Translation Reading Challenge

 

Very excited that I can sign up for this challenge again in 2016! As you can see by the button, it's hosted by the Introverted Reader. Since I am blog-challenged, I will add that you can sign up for this challenge, and read the rules, etc., here just in case I did something wrong and the button isn't showing.

I'm going to sign up for the Linguist level of 10-12 books since I know I have at least that many lying around, etc. I'll keep track of the books I read as I go in this post.

If you have any recommendations, please feel free to leave a comment!
