Book 14 of #Eurovisionathon complete. A little confusing because of the number of characters popping in and out of the story. Apparently it's a retelling of 'The Year of the Hare'. I read this for Finland and gave it 4⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Finland

Book 13 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Wow! Before making your mind up about refuge & asylum based on press stories, give this book a read. The stories of those arriving here & people providing aid are really eye-opening. Read for France 🇫🇷, 5⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #France

Book 12 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Safe to say I will not be reading any more Bill Bryson books. His objectifying of women in this book was just too much for me. But it's ticked Austria 🇦🇹 off my list. I gave this 2⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Austria

Book 11 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Good to read a book by someone from my neck of the woods. Would love him to come and speak at our library. I decided to read this for Georgia 🇬🇪 I gave it 4⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Georgia

Book 10 of #Eurovisionathon complete. This was a nice story but quite repetitive in parts. Sigrid is a Norwegian Forest cat and her owner has Norwegian heritage, so I used it for Norway 🇳🇴 I gave it 3⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Norway

Book 9 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Up to Chapter 8 I thought I was going to have to DNF this book. Glad I persisted as it got gradually better. I read this for Romania 🇷🇴 and gave it 3⭐️. #eurovision #readathon #Romania

Book 8 of #Eurovisionathon complete. I always find an unexpected gem during this readathon. The writing was excellent and knowing this was based on a true story made it even more shocking. I read this for Cyprus 🇨🇾 and gave it 5⭐️. #eurovision #readathon #Cyprus

Book 7 of #Eurovisionathon complete. I enjoyed this one and it has made me maybe want to try reading some Homer. It was a nice easy read and helped me to tick Greece 🇬🇷 off my list. I gave it 3⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Greece

Book 6 of #Eurovisionathon complete. I read this for Switzerland 🇨🇭as well as for a prompt in the Squash the Series readathon. Unfortunately there are no European countries mentioned in the next few books 🤣 I gave it 4⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Switzerland

Book 5 of #Eurovisionathon complete. This book has mixed reviews but I really enjoyed it. A last minute choice from my library. I had a different ending in mind though. I read this for Portugal 🇵🇹 but it could also have been read for France. 4⭐️ #eurovision #readathon #Portugal

Pit stop before the library conference. Waited years to attend one of these, so I'm super hyped today. Might as well start on my Portugal 🇵🇹 book for Eurovisionathon whilst I'm here 😉📚 #Eurovisionathon #Eurovision #readathon #portugal

Book 4 of #Eurovisionathon complete. Listened to the audiobook & really enjoyed it. Have really fallen in love with Mrs Pollifax over the last 3 books of this series. I read this for Bulgaria 🇧🇬 & gave it 4⭐️. Looking forward to reading the next. #eurovision #readathon #bulgaria

Book 3 of Eurovisionathon complete. This wasn't originally on my list for but I got it from my library & really wanted to read it soon. I used it for Italy 🇮🇹 because she visits Tuscany in the book. This book was special. I gave it 5⭐️ #Eurovisionathon #eurovision #readathon

Book 2 of Eurovisionathon complete. Decided to read this one for the UK 🇬🇧 in the end as it featured a lot of Tudor History. Disappointing book, a few interesting facts but mostly an art history lesson. I gave it 2⭐️ #Eurovisionathon #eurovision #readathon

Well that's the first book of Eurovisionathon logged. I read this for Germany 🇩🇪 . It was a fun read. A sinister middle grade. I gave it 3⭐️ Now to decide which country I'll move onto next 🤔 #Eurovisionathon #eurovision #readathon #germany
