Read Scotland 2014 - Finished

Read Scotland 2014 hosted by Peggy Ann.

I have now completed the level I wanted to complete in this challenge. I am sure there are a lot more Scottish books out there for me to read but I won't upgrade to the next level of Back O' Beyond: 25+ books. I have read in total 15 books for this challenge. Thank you Peggy Ann for hosting.

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

Read and review Scottish books -any genre, any form- written by a Scottish author (by birth or immigration) or about or set in Scotland.
