Challenge: Books Around the World

Ok, I might be crazy but I just accepted this challenge that I saw in Book Sanctuary

The aim of this challenge is to read at least ONE book that either the author was born in the country or that the book is set in the country. So, I will be adding unmercifully here and try to complete this challenge. There is no time limit, but of course, I hope to finish it in the next couple of years.



Check out the Reading Challenges page up in the menu for a cool map!! 
So we start the list of countries and I will be adding the name of the book besides it once I finish it!
