I have decided to create this reading challenge with the goal to read more books from Spain and am inviting everyone to join me. It will run until September 2027, and any number of books by Spanish authors goes (you can grab the banner above). The only rule is that authors must be from Spain (either born in Spain, nationality is/was Spanish, or who strongly identify(ed) with Spain, rather than Latin America). I will do mid-way check in and wrap-up posts, and will leave the banner with this page (+ any participants and updates on their reviews) in my widget area. I will also be updating this page with any books read by me or others for this challenge. I have also created an external link page for anyone who wants to add their reviews. Below are my preliminary list of fifteen novels I want to read for this challenge.
