We'd love to keep in contact about your books, and journey! Even if it is not a full review, if it is just thoughts or something you learned during your Orbis Terrarum reading. Link here for the benefit of all of our travels...we'd love to hear what you are finding exciting.

hey.. did you like the little maps? I got them from Wikipedia for each country.. thought it gave a good perspective about the part of the world I was talking about..:)
Hi, I've just joined. I know I'm a little behind but I'm hoping to catch up soon. By the end of May I aim to read two books and write about them on my blog. Happy reading!!
Oops! I think I've messed up your system. I tried to add the countries to my past entries and they seem to be appearing twice. I'm sorry.

monix- no worries!!! Everything is fine. I can delete he duplicates.
thank you for visiting my blog and for the warm welcome :D
just linked my first entry to the challenge :D
I know Rome is in Italy and that the Congo is in Africa but the countries I've given in my links relate to the author's nationality. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?
Hi, I have a question. What do I do if I make a mistake while leaving my link on the list? I tried to go back and correct in but couldn't. e.g. I gave the link to my blog but not to the specific post about the book I read. What can I do about it?
lizzy sidal- Author's nationality is correct, you are doing it right.
rajk- I can delete it, and you can re-enter it if you just let me know which one it is.
It is #79(Talkative Man). Thanks Bethany. Once it is deleted I can post the correct link.
rajk- I did it, deleted.
Have a great week!!!!
I finally completed my first selection. It's exciting to finally getting started. Hopefully, I can race to the end :)
Second selection completed!

Hi Bethany, thanks for your earlier help. I just finished reading my 3rd book. "The Map of Love" was fascinating!
Hi! Just finished my 4th book and left a review on my blog. "No Longer At Ease" by Chinua Achebe. Anyone else read it?

Hi, Just finished my 6th read. Funny Boy was wonderful!
Hey Bethany... added my links! Finished 5 books..onto the 6th one now :) Great list out here.. feel like reading all of them!!
*smacks head*
I totally missed this page! So, I'll be adding a few links then!
Just finished 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding. It is simply amazing. A must read.
Just finished Boris Akunin's "Murder on the Leviathan", which was very good and now am in the Peruvian jungles with Mario Vargas Llosa in "The Storyteller". I'm really enjoying this reading challenge, my first!
Still Pluggin' along on the OT challenge. Hope to be finished by the end date with school and just...life!
:)
I've just finished visiting España and France, two of my favorite countries in real life and in fiction, as part of my OT tour. Not sure yet where I'll be headed next, but I'll send a "postcard" when I get there!
I just finished selection number six. Who knows-- I may just complete this challenge yet!!!
I just finished number seven! Here's hoping that I can pull out two more before the end of the year!
Eight is great! Here is hoping for one more, so that I can have nine and be fine :)
I'm done! My wrap up post is here:

and here is the list of books that i have not reviewed but have read-
1)Witch of Portebello by Paulo Coleho – Brazil
2)I did a Bad Thing By Linda Green - England
and a very bad review of Kite Runner [ which i dnt want to post on the Linky :D ]
3) http://test-veens.blogspot.com/2008/08/kite-runner.html
So officially I am done with 8 books :)
i love this challenge and I am already joining u for the next year :)
I'm so bad, I just today realized that I should have been linking my reviews. I linked 3, which then made me realize that I'm further behind in my reviewing than I thought! Almost done reading, I'm on my last book now -- looking forward to OT 2009!
My second to last OT book review is done. That leaves me 11 days to read and write up the final one. In other words, I have to get from Mexico to Iraq or Russia and back home in less than two weeks' time. It's all armchair travel, of course, but yikes!
Hi! I just posted my (supershort) review for my 7th OT Challenge book. I've read all nine but will only be posting the reviews over the next few days. Is there a deadline or is it on until 31st of Dec.?
Okay!! So I posted the links to my Book 8 and 9 too!! So I am done!!
All in all, it was a great ride!
I've just posted my review for my last book so challenge completed! Yay!! Thank you so much for hosting - I have really enjoyed the ride and plan to participate again next year.
I finally finished--one hour before the last day if I'm not mistaken! Thanks again for hosting this, Bethany, and props to everybody for all the interesting reviews.
