The Orbis Terrarum Challenge of 2009

I am exceedingly proud to announce that today is the 1st of March, and the beginning of my favourite Book Challenge! I could be a little (just a liiiiittle) biased since it is my challenge, but I just love it So many of you from last time signed up, and now we are adding more and more challengers. Head on over to Orbis Terrarum Challenge Blog and see which challenges you are interested in. This year it has multiplied exponentially, check it out:

The Orbis Terrarum Challenge
Your mission, should you choose to accept: read 10 different books, written by 10 different authors, from 10 different countries in 10 months.

The Orbis Terrarum Film Challenge
This will be a blast and a great break from reading: this challenge is to watch 10 films, 10 different countries, by 10 different directors in the 10 months.

The Orbis Terrarum Bilingual Challenge
This challenge has several different options based on how bilingual you are, check out the link for the options, but really this is one that most would be able to stretch themselves to accomplish.

The Orbis Terrarum Poetry Challenge
In which you may consider yourself challenged to read 5 poems or poetry collections, by 5 different authors, from 5 different countries.

This year the Orbis Terrarum Challenge (and all its other challenges) has its own blog, you'd better head yourself over there for some amazing insight into new worlds, new books and new friends!

Oh, and this little project took me and my little OT elves (Richard, Corinne, Ramya, and Trish) a million years to put together, I hope a conglomerate list of all the reviews to date helps! Check out, Books Reviewed by Orbis Terrarum Challengers listed by country.
