The World Map
STARTED JANUARY 2026
Read around the world with me! As I go, the country on the map will be colored in and the book will be added to the list below. If I’ve reviewed the book, I will add a link to it. The only rule is that the author has to be from the country and the book has to be set (at least partially, if not entirely) in the country as well.
