The readathon goal is simple... read more about other countries and cultures than your own. Kudos to my faaaab co-hosts Tanya, Becca, Savvy, and Lucy. Check out the entire schedule of events.
But ...this year we want to get YOU talking about your favorite books, authors, genres, and characters. Every day we'll have a different topic of discussion. You can write a new blog post, link up a couple of old posts that are pertinent to the topic and/or leave comments answering our questions. Linkups will be open through 11/7/15 (a week after the readathon ends to give you plenty of time to write a new post if you want).
Today's Discussion Topic is ...
Favorite world drama, short stories and poetry
I'm not quite sure what "world drama" refers to, so I am looking forward to your posts. And I'm not much of a poetry reader either, so maybe you lovely readers can educate me :) As for short stories, I am totally obsessed with the short story, so I am linking up some of my fave short story collections down below.
Whatcha waiting for? Link 'em up!
