I joined up for the European Reading Challenge as well and am browsing a bit through the participant’s list. What a great list of books you choose for already! Cool
I love your French choice, it’s a favorite. I’m very curious what the Italian will be like. And a few others I have on my bookshelf
But I haven’t made up my mind yet for my challenge list.
