Hi,
I signed up for the medium challenge a few weeks ago, but did not get a chance at that time to post what I had already read for the year that would contribute to my readings for the challenge:
Africa- I read four books set in Africa this year so far all by Wilbur Smith. They were:
"A Falcon Flies"
"Men of Men"
"The Sound of Thunder"
"Assegai"
I also read three books set in Europe this year so far. They were:
"The Other Queen" by Phillipa Gregory
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" By Thomas Hardy
"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Borrows
Four books set in North America:
"The Host" by Stephenie Meyer
"I Alex Cross" By James Paterson
"Escape" by Robert Tanenbaum
Two books from Australasia:
"Mr. Pip" by Lloyd Jones
"The Last Time I saw mother" by Arlene J. Chai
Will post any updates next month.
You have really got around this year!

I'm signing up very late, so I'll go for easy. It's already October and I've only read two books!
Hi Dian.
Welcome. I am sure you´ll make it!
Now that I've finished the Extremist level I've decided to read the books I've accumulated on my shelves— Thanks for all the work you put into this challenge. I look forward to more challenges next year.

Thanks for the work you both put into this challenge. Now that I've finished the Extremist Level I think I'll return to reading the books accumulated on my shelves.
