Sounds fun! I think I'm going to sign up and choose level two: vacationer. :)
@Melanie-Sweet!
I am leaving on a very massive extended trip in around May for 18 months. That gives me five months so I'm sticking with Tourist level.
5 countries in 5 months. This should be fun.
Thanks for starting this up. It sounds really cool.
P.S. I posted about this on my blog. Hope that will help you get the word out.
How fun! I do like to travel and do want to read more books set outside the US and UK. Since I didn't make much progress on the 2014 Winter Olympics challenge I think I'll stick to the Vacationer level and then hopefully surprise myself. :-)
I'm in ... just late to sign up!
Brooke, the first month of an annual challenge is not late! My first run, in 2012.... I didn't hear of 'reading challenges' until July! I joined some in December and did well in them all!!!!
Hostess: please advise (at my blog) if there is a page for reviews. :)
Do audio books count? :-)
4everdramatic-yes audio books count!
Hurray! Comment forms are working! :-) Here is my blog website showing reviews & details for our unique, special group. In absence of a 'linky', my list is below.

Carolyn-So glad the comment forms are working for you! Usually we just have the capcha (we were getting a lot of spam comments) but when the post is really old they ask for approval as well-sorry if it was a hassle but thanks for persevering! Congratulations on reaching your chosen level and thank you for joining this challenge!
Thanks for the fun challenge! here is my wrap up:
