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.
