Recs if you like The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After...

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

This is the least fun list possible, but very important. I volunteer in genocide prevention so this is often top of mind. My goal for this list is to familiarize people with a variety of genocides across time and space. Please take care of yourselves ❤️ also please recommend books for lesser known/unrepresented genocides on this list.

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Read the world! Goal is to read at least one book from each country (the author must be from the country).

a working list of history, memoirs, and scientific communication from authors based in or who had significant life experience in what's considered the global south. the goal of this list was to read more nonfiction from alternate global perspectives, open to edits or suggestions!
