Bookwormjillk This is going to be a fun one to research. Thanks! I‘m starting with my library‘s copy of![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
When in Vanuatu: A Novel 1y
When in Vanuatu: A NovelGissy 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. 🤗 1y
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! 1y
Gissy @BarbaraBB Okay 👌 📚🤗Thank you 1y
Deblovestoread Not that I need another challenge but I‘d like to join in to read about these places, if that‘s ok? 1y
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. 1y
squirrelbrain The lovely Holly @Hooked_on_books sent me two books specially for this challenge. ❤️ Holly has managed to get a copy of this one from the library so we‘ll buddy read it very soon.We Are the Ocean: Selected Works 1y
We Are the Ocean: Selected Workssquirrelbrain 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.The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific 1y
The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the PacificBookwormjillk @squirrelbrain Everand has been on my naughty list lately. I‘m thinking of canceling (as soon as #LitsyTOB24 is over of course.) 1y
squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk - they had Mobility for #LitsyTOB24 but it disappeared. 🤷♀️ It‘s not actually published here until tomorrow so I‘m hoping it reappears (or becomes available on Audible) 1y
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) 1y
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. 🤨 1y
BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread Of course!! We‘d love to have you joining us 💚💚 1y
