#HRCYED Around the World

This is what I’m planning to read for the HRCYED Around the World Prompt: (Note: I am trying to do this challenge with only books I own or can get from the library. Excepting the New Release challenge of course)

  • North America: The Monsters of Templeton – Lauren Groff
  • South America: Back to the Well (read in Aug) – Gustavo Bondoni
  • Africa: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind – William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer
  • Europe: Mayhem – Sarah Pinborough
  • Asia: The Cat Who Saved Books – Sosuke Matsukawa
  • Australia: Will Save the Galaxy for Food – Yahtzee Croshaw
  • Antarctica: Lady Franklin’s Revenge – Ken McGoogan (It’s about an Arctic expedition, but I’m sure I have a Shackleton book laying about as well. That means this is subject to change if I find it.)
