In 2012, I challenged myself to diversify my reading with more books from countries other than the US and the UK. I don't think I did a particularly good job, 16/92 books, just 2 more than the the previous year.

My Reading World in 2012 {Places Visited While Reading}

I kept track using Google Maps, but have to admit that by mid-year, I had stopped updating it. Must.do.better.

Latin America & The Caribbean
• The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho (author is from Brazil)
• No books from the Caribbean - I didn't include the collection of short stories, Diverse Energies, edited by Tobias. S. Buckell, who is from Grenada, because I think that's too much of a cheat

As I mentioned before, looking back at My Reading World in 2011, I read fewer books, but from more countries. To improve on this in 2013, I have joined a few global reading challenges ...
