Out of the five regions this month, three have major English-speaking countries (including England, heh), so it'll be interesting to see whether we choose an English-language or foreign-language book this month (either's fine with me). Also, none of the five regions touch so it's a very diverse group.

Just a note, there is a map in the spoiler (the last time this map will be used; I still remember making it for this category all those years ago!) that details which countries are included in each region, but if there are any questions just ask.

Also, to reiterate since it's different than our usual guideline, each person may nominate up to five selections this month, but each nomination by any one person should be from a different eligible region. Those five eligible regions are:

-Ireland & The U.K.
-Japan
-The South Pacific
-Southeast Europe
-Sub Saharan Africa
