Jessica's Around the World Reading List #1

A couple of years ago I participated in an Around the World Reading Challenge. Participants read 36 books, each one set in a different country with six books for each of the six inhabited continents (Antarctica counted with 'Pacifica'). This is my reading list from that challenge; I am curious to know how many people have read these same books!
