Welcome! I can see that you spend a lot of time in England, too! I've been working on this challenge for about a year now. I'd be a lot further along if I could resist the lure of the British Isles!

For my challenge I decided to split the UK down into counties as well. I knew I'd be reading a lot based there (it is where I'm from after all) so thought it would be worthwhile. I'm doing the 50 US States challenge for the same reason.

Maybe we need a challenge for just the British Isles - each county, little island, etc. I think there are a lot of us who love fiction with British settings.

Thanks and yes, I've read a large number of books set in or written by British authors. There are some European based books I've read this year, and I meant to put them on here somehow, but I haven't gotten to them yet. I got side tracked - I put together a world challenge and put it on my user pages on LT wiki.
