Read Scotland 2014 Sign Up

 Read Scotland 2014 hosted by Peggy Ann.

Okay folks, I'm trying my hand at setting up a challenge! Has to be a first time for everything, right? I have found that I love reading Scottish literature and am looking forward to spending some time there in the future. 2014 will be a decisive year for the Scots, as they are voting on Independence from Britain next year. What better way to celebrate than a reading challenge!
Challenge levels:
Just A Keek (a little look): 1-4 books read
The Highlander: 5-8 books
The Hebridean: 9-12 books
Ben Nevis: 13+ books
Details:
Read and review Scottish books -any genre, any form- written by a Scottish author (by birth or immigration) or about or set in Scotland.
Challenge runs January 1 to December 31, 2014
Books you read may count for other challenges.
You don't have to have a blog to participate. If you have a blog, post a challenge sign-up and link that post (not your home page) to the links below.

I am Danish but I have lived in Scotland for several years in different parts of the country and I am pleased to take part in this challenge.

I am going to add books to the list, it doesn't mean I will read them but they fit.

My goal will start at The Highlander: 5-8 books as that is one of the places I have lived. Depending how it goes I might upgrade later in the year.
Update 4th of July: I have now finished 8 books and will upgrade to The Hebridean: 9-12 books. 
Update 10th of August: I will upgrade to the last level Ben Nevis: 13+ books and when I have added 15 books in total I will have completed this challenge
