A Work in Progress

This blog is currently a work in progress, I have many plans for it and hope to build it up and then release in in 2010 when it has a variety of parts to it.

Exploration: Latin American Fiction

This challenge will run for 4 months, between the 1st January - 30th April 2009.
The aim is to read a 4 books from Latin America, these can be fiction or non-fiction the mix is up to you. The books can be used as part of other challenges, but must be finished between the dates of the challenge.
I've shown below a couple of options you may want to follow:
Free Choice: Read any four Latin American books
Mix it Up: Read a variety of fiction and non-fiction Latin American books
Author Challenge: Read a variety of work from just one author.
States: Read a book from a variety of the differnt states of Latin America
Magic Realism: Latin America is famous for producing the Magic Realism genre, you may decide just to read books fitting this genre.

I've added some suggestions in the side bar, and any recommendations are welcome.

I will be using Mr Linky to sign people up.
