Bookwormjillk This is going to be a fun one to research. Thanks! I‘m starting with my library‘s copy of

When in Vanuatu: A Novel

11mo

Gissy I don‘t know well how to enter the books in the form. Do I have to read the books in the order of the countries mentioned? Sorry, I‘m not not good understanding these things. But is so fascinated because as @Souhiville said, there will be a chance to know about books or authors unknown to me. š¤— 11mo

BarbaraBB @Gissy you don‘t need to fill them in there, but it might be handy to see the countries of which the challenge exists. The challenge focuses on Litsy though: Just read a book set in as many of the countries of Oceania and tag us and use the hashtag #ReadingOceania24. That way we can all share our books for the various countries and other will be able to find them easily! 11mo

Gissy @BarbaraBB Okay š‘ š“š¤—Thank you 11mo

Deblovestoread Not that I need another challenge but I‘d like to join in to read about these places, if that‘s ok? 11mo

squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk - I have that on my list too. I found it on Everand (Scribd) so I just hope it doesn‘t disappear before I get to it, as they have a habit of doing. 11mo

squirrelbrain The lovely Holly @Hooked_on_books sent me two books specially for this challenge. ā¯¤ļø¸ Holly has managed to get a copy of this one from the library so we‘ll buddy read it very soon.

squirrelbrain I‘m also going to read this one fairly soon (bought used for 60p) as it will cover a few countries / islands. I‘m probably going to double-dip on this challenge, depending on what books I can get hold of for the other smaller, more obscure, islands.

Bookwormjillk @squirrelbrain Everand has been on my naughty list lately. I‘m thinking of canceling (as soon as #LitsyTOB24 is over of course.) 11mo

squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk - they had Mobility for #LitsyTOB24 but it disappeared. š¤·ā€¨ā™€ļø¸ It‘s not actually published here until tomorrow so I‘m hoping it reappears (or becomes available on Audible) 11mo

Hooked_on_books I have a little stack I picked up from my library to get started on tomorrow. I feel like I have a leg up, being in the middle of the Pacific on Polynesian land! I‘m excited for our buddy read @squirrelbrain ! Do you want to get started tomorrow? (Jan 1) 11mo

squirrelbrain Yes, let‘s do that! @Hooked_on_books Not sure how far I‘ll get as I‘m working (again) tomorrow, and then the rest of the week is going to be manic. š¤Ø 11mo

BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread Of course!! We‘d love to have you joining us š’š’ 11mo
