I am hosting two, both open-ended. One is A Fairy Tale Challenge---http://afairytalechallenge.blogspot.com and the other is Hobbits, Warrows and Other Mythological Creatures (a fantasy challenge). The addy for that one is http://hobbitswarrows.blogspot.com/ For those of you who are not familiar with who Warrows are, they are the main characters of Dennis L McKiernan's Mithgar series. Judy

I am hosting a challenge! It is called Orbis Terrarum (the whole world) and there is for sure time to join!

I am in love with foreign literature of all types and am always overjoyed to get my hands on a good book in this genre. For this reason I decided to host a challenge!! I decided on Orbis Terrarum because it means "the whole world" and that is what this is all about, reading books from all over. There will not be a ton of rules so that hopefully some of you can overlap as you please.

Here is the deali-o!

- The Orbis Terrarum Challenge begins April 1 2008( you are welcome to join later) Through December 20th 2008.
- For the challenge each reader is to choose 9 books (for the 9 months).
-Each book must be by an author from a different nation in our world.
-You can change your list of books at any time, just as long as you have read nine in the end. sound good?

The bottom line: choose 9 different books, written by 9 different authors, from 9 different countries.
To sign up!!!:OT challenge!!!

It is a world lit challenge and would sure be even more fun if you joined in on it!
