The European Reading Challenge is hosted by Rose City Reader and is on again next year. See here for details. These are the books I've read for the challenge this year that were either set in Europe or were written by a European author:
Greece - Decision at Delphi by Helen MacInnes
Austria - The Third Man by Graham Greene
France - I Will Repay by Baroness Orczy
Germany - All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
Netherlands - The Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Turkey - The Road From Home by David Kheridian
Czech Republic - The Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka
Russia - Russia's Man of Steel by Albert Marrin
Poland - The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly
Italy - The Confessions of St Augustine - Augustine lived and taught in Rome and afterwards Milan, where he was converted to Christianity.

Oh good job! I've tried this challenge before and have had trouble hitting the more obscure countries book-wise. You've targeted countries well and even with a few children's books. Brava! :-)
Congratulations on completing this.
This is an impressive list of books. May your 2017 reading plans be just as fruitful.
Thank you! I read a few others but didn't list them as they were either from the same country or by the same author & then I realised that I could add Augustine, which I hadn't thought of until I was making the list above.
Thank you, Brian. Look forward to reading your reviews in 2017 :)
