Wide open for recommendations!

Books on Puerto Rico: fiction, non-fiction, travel, food, culture, etc
bipoc book talk @dai
Monthly(ish) book talk held at the DAI in Nรผrnberg.
read around the world: the americas
read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.
note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
When not in Puerto Rico, read this
A combination of fiction and non-fiction reads that may or may not be classics, but the diaspora should have the pulse on.
