In case you haven’t heard, in 2012, Ann Morgan read the world in a year. She compiled a list of all the countries of the world, and chose a book from each country to read, expanding her literary prowess.

I wrote a post regarding her excursions, and my own decision to follow in her steps.

Now, I’m here to forge a new path, by reading fantasy novels from around the world. I plan to do what Ms. Morgan did, but focus on fantasy stories, rather than any other literature. Since I am a fantasy writer, this makes sense.

I am skipping the US and UK, since I’ve already read fantasy books from those countries, and no fantasy books have come out from Vatican City, as far as I know.

Update: It’s been difficult finding fantasy books from some countries, so I am expanding my search to science fiction and horror.
