2013 Books in Translation Reading Challenge

Hi, everyone! Time for a 2013 Reading Challenge!!

This challenge is being hosted by Introverted Jen at The Introverted Reader.

Here are the details copied from Introverted Jen's blog:

2013 Books in Translation Reading Challenge

The goal is obviously to read translations of books, from any language into the language(s) you're comfortable reading in; they don't have to be in English.

You can read any genre and any age range. Crossovers with other challenges are fine. Any format that you choose is also acceptable. The challenge will run from January 1 through December 31, 2013. 

Looking for suggestions? I have a shelf on GoodReads you can check out. There's also a Listopia list on GoodReads. Last year's linked reviews are a great resource.

I am not limiting the challenge to bloggers. You can also link to a review you wrote on another site, such as GoodReads or LibraryThing.

Levels:

Beginner: Read 1-3 books in translation

Conversationalist: 4-6

Bilingual: 7-9

Linguist: 10-12

I am aiming for BEGINNER (read 1-3 books in translation).
