Sorry! Of course it's OK to switch! You can decide which books to count for your five challenge books and your Jet Setter books right up to the final day of the challenge, which is January 31, 2021. As always, the only thing to remember is for the Jet Setter Prize, only one book from a country can count and only books reviewed count. People like me who read books but don't review them don't get a prize. :) Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-70009390501011318682020-04-08T11:55:41.123-04:002020-04-08T11:55:41.123-04:00I don't usually warn people off books, but The...I don't usually warn people off books, but The Belton Estate--well, in a review a young Henry James said it was "stupid" and he was right.<br />https://majoryammerton.blogspot.com/2017/08/mount-tbr-41.htmlMajorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05038437416575948282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-70586522625768782192020-03-07T09:58:27.289-05:002020-03-07T09:58:27.289-05:00I think I can read at least five from my own shelv...I think I can read at least five from my own shelves, though not all of them are in translation -- some of them are British and American novels set in different countries. And The Misunderstanding is a bit of a stretch -- Nemirovsky was born in the Ukraine but emigrated to France, so it's really a French novel, but those are easy to find -- Ukranian novels are a lot trickier to track down.

Most of the books on my owned-and-unread shelves are either British or American...if they are classics, then mostly British... I can't do this this year because I really am making an effort to read as much of what I own as possible. But maybe next year? I want to read more from Spain, Sweden, Russia, etc. Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.com
