In 2011 the British Books Challenge was created by Becky at The Bookette, in 2012 it was Kirsty at The Overflowing Library's turn to run the challenge & she also hosted in 2016, I hosted it myself in 2013 and 2014, Michelle at Fluttering Butterflies took a turn in 2015 and now Chelly from Tales of Yesterday has taken over for 2017.
2011 - I read 58 books by British authors
2012 - I read 41 books by British authors
2013 - I read 39 books by British authors
2014 - I read 55 books by British authors
2015 - I read 51 books by British authors
2016 - I read 40 books by British authors
I think I'm just going to reduce my goal to 20 books this year, I love to support British authors but at the moment I'm really focused on catching up on some of those many, many series I've started but only made it halfway through and most of them seem to be written by American authors.
If you'd like to join me you can sign up for the 2017 challenge HERE.
I will keep a list of books read along with links to my reviews in this post.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking over hosting this year Chelley! I'm looking forward to taking part but I'm not sure if I'll read as many books as the last few years since I'm trying to focus on catching up on some of the many, many series I'm already partway through & a lot of them are written by American authors LOL
