The aim of this challenge is to encourage the reading of Scottish writers. That is, a writer who is considered Scottish by nationality. They might have been born in Scotland, but live in New York now. They might have been born in New York, but have lived in Scotland all their lives to the point where they probably have a UK passport. If they wrote something set in some vague place in Scotland but have never even seen the country, then they definitely don't count.
The plan:
Read books by Scottish writers between 01 June - 31 August 2012.
The levels:
Tae a Louse: 1-3 books
Scots Wha Hae: 4-6 books
Tam O Shanter: 7 + books
The books:
Helpfully, the books that I have reviewed by Scottish writers are tagged with a 'Scottish' tag. So if you need some help with inspiration, you'll find authors that I recommend there.
The taking part:
Link up here to sign up and show off your blog posts, and feel free to share the button too. (It's not actually working with a link at the moment, because I don't know how to do that!)
If you don't blog, then no worries! All I ask is that you spread the word of the Scottish writer whose work you enjoyed.
So let the Scottish fun begin! I'm going to start off the challenge with The Bullet Trick by Louise Welsh. What will you be reading?
