Challenge:

This month, read 2 books set in the Mediterranean.

In the media, the picturesque Mediterranean is the epitome of summer. With its gorgeous cerulean water, colorful buildings, and bright beaches and coasts, it's hard to identify something more "summery" than the Mediterranean on a warm day. Since June marks the official beginning of summer, this month's reading challenge is to read two books set in the Mediterranean. Now, it doesn't matter what genre of book you choose—it can be historical fiction or sci-fi—make sure that the books are set somewhere in the Mediterranean, whether it's Venice or Barcelona. Also, don't forget to comment on this post with the books you have finished by June 30th. Let's get ready to read! Have fun!
