2014 Egypt Reading Challenge

When we visited Egypt in 2008, I fell in love with and lost part of my soul to Egypt. Since then, I've read all that I can, fiction and non-fiction, set in or dealing with ancient Egypt. When Nada Adel notified me of her idea of a 2014 reading challenge featuring books about Egypt, I jumped at the opportunity to participate. I'm excited to find new reads and to share mine with other participants.

Remember, there are some fabulous reads set in Egypt for middle grade readers!

Here are the rules for participating:
