Hello! I’m currently thinking of playing a little challenge with myself: I would like to read a book written by authors all across Europe, and, once I do this, I’d like to expand to the other continents.
So, to start easy, I’m looking for books written by nearer authors. These would be from:
- Spain
- Portugal
- France
- Italy
I’m really into fantasy, but I wouldn’t mind reading any other fiction genre.
Any recs?
