I totally don't mean anything by categorizing nations. I'm using the arbitrary regions from a couple of sources to verify that I'm at least sort of covering a reasonable diversity of the globe knowing full well that the only reasonable option would be to read a book from every country that at least has something translated into English. I don't read fast enough to get through the 170+ titles that would probably be. So almost 2/3 countries are getting axed which is sad, but necessary for a yearly challenge for me. So far, I'm coming up blank for Western Africa. It all seems to be in French and not translated.

I've never read Munro. I've looked at titles by her before, but I'm leaning towards Thomson Highway (Rez Sisters) or John Steffler (the Grey Islands) for Canada.
