European Book Project

June 21, 2012

It’s no secret that I am a book nerd. So, it’s not really a big surprise that I’m tying my love of reading with this big trip my friends and I are planning for this fall – a 5 weeks, 9 cities European journey. And what better way to appreciate the cities I’m visiting then to get a taste of what they are like through reading.  In preparation for this grand adventure, I decided to create my own European book project – well more of a European book challenge. The goal of this project is to read at least one book set in each of the stops I’m going to be visiting.

Below is a list of the cities I’ll be visiting and the corresponding books I’ll be reading:

♥ Dublin: A Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle

♥ London: Falling in Love with English Boys by Melissa Jensen & Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill

♥ Paris: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins & Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

♥ Berlin: The Berlin Boxing Club by Robert Sharenow

♥ Prague: The Book of Blood and Shadows by Robin Wasserman

♥ Munich: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

♥ Venice: Venom by Fiona Paul & Daughter of Venice by Donna Jo Napoli

♥ Florence: Flirting in Italian by Lauren Henderson

♥ Rome: The Love of My Youth by Mary Gordon & S.A.S.S. Getting the Boot by Peggy Guthart Strauss

    I love how you tie your trip and the books together. I hope if I ever backpack around Europe that I can do the same thing!
