Hey everyone! 🙂
I'm starting on a "read around the world" challenge where I read at least one book from each country of the world, or at least try to.
My only rule to that is that the book has to be written by and the story happens on this country. Fiction or non-fiction are okay, but I'm not looking for fantasy really, I want to learn more about real places, culture, music, food, history.
So I would love to hear some suggestions of your favorites!
