We’re officially mad about maps, all because of our GeoPuzzles! Finally managed a 100% on this Asia map quiz and am now embarking on an Around The World reading project for myself and Layla!

Btw I got inspiration from this post on “travelling through books.” Am still working on my list but here’s a peek at what I’ve got so far (my books are in italics):

China
Books by Ed Young

Lebanon
Sami And The Time Of The Troubles

Afghanistan
The Roses In My Carpets
The Kite Runner

Iran
Shah of Shahs (I just had to read this after Mariane Pearl said this in A Mighty Heart: “That Danny so loved [Shah of Shahs] — and thought I would love it, too — made me think, God, we really do have something in common.”)

Iraq
The Librarian of Basra: A True Story from Iraq
Silent Music: A Story of Baghdad

I’ll be putting up our entire Around The World reading list on a separate page; look out for it!
