Once you have voyaged to the place of dragons, just like those early mapmakers, you will stop drawing your maps with monsters and cover the seas with triumphant ships instead. You will discover, like Anäis Nin, that “One’s horizon shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

WanderLit World Tour
The WanderLit world tour is about to embark. My New Year’s Resolution is to read a book a week. Not just any old book but books carefully selected to carry my imagination around the globe and experience world cultures by sinking deep into the pages of traveling writers and foreign authors. Creating my list, I wanted to build in a little variety. I have everything from genre fiction to history, biography, lit-fic and tour books.
One thing that pops up over and over is women writers and women’s stories. I guess it always comes back to Wanderlust and Lipstick.
Around the World in 80 Books
The object was to read a book or an author from one new country every week for a year.
