Recs if you like If I Had the Wings: Short Stories...

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!

Mix of genres by queer authors from nations in North America and the Caribbean, set in (or partially in) the nation. Not every nation is represented yet—I'm still researching them! Keeping it at maximum 3 books per nation.

Just a literary world tour to experience life, love, hate, and the journey of becoming human in those countries. I tried to choose not only authors from those countries but also stories set in them to enrich the experience of living there. I am forever grateful for any book recommendations from all around the world.
