Well, the blog itself told me a couple of days ago that it has been going on for 15 years. Amazing. This started just as I found other bloggers on Twitter, and my reading had grown over the few years before that. I started with a challenge of reading 52 over the first year of the blog well, which has now grown to 130 countries. I now tend to trickle through new countries a few a year I will get to every country in the world at some point I hope but for me it is about the breadth of books read so I want to read everything basically. Sadly, many blogs I love have gone over the years. I have carried on. I have reviewed, on average 92 books a year over the last 15 years not bad stats. Of them, 1200 are books in translation . I have written 2330 posts over the last 15 years. I have started the shadow jury, which I love doing. The hashtag #Translationthurs I started. With Richard, Spanish Lit Month has since become Spanish and Portuguese Lit Month. I wish I could make a little money from this blog as I feel the time and effort I have spent in the last fifteen years be nice to see a little reward for that. I love interacting with other bloggers. I’m always open to ideas I feel I do struggle to comment but I always try to catch up from time to time. I have loved the experiences and people I have met over the years of the blog. Her is to the next 15 years !! As you follow me as I read books from around the world.
