The first challenge of the year is hosted by  AnnaBookBel  and is Nordic FINDS. FINDS stands for Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The idea is to read one book from each country during a week (head over to her website for more information). My choices to read during this challenge are:  January 3-9 – DENMARK  – The Last Good Man by A.J.
