Latin American Literature - Lists jotted down from a few Instagram posts, inspired by the Bad Bunny Super Bowl show. (@muchneededbreak @jackbenedwards so far) Sorry, only posted 3 flags!

Inspired by the NFL Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which starred Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio as the musical headliner here is a collection of books to accompany the rich history, culture, and messaging artfully displayed by Bad Bunny.

Part 1: Antigua & Barbuda to Cuba

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!

A list inspired by (and copied from) @cortneyhenningnovak, including (mainly) fiction reads from every country in alphabetical order! Any suggestions and add-ons welcome to expand the list🫶

17 countries include:

the Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso & Burundi

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.
