Titles At... The End Of The World
Lots of titles are [insert thing or person] at the end of the world, so let's group them together.
Quickies! Books that are 200 pages or less
I see a few lists on here with this theme, but they were short themselves - and I was looking for a more diverse selection. So, thought I'd make my own list and share it! Nice for reading goals, but mostly, I like breaking up the rhythm if I'm reading something exceptionally long.
Mexico
Books set in Mexico. Books about Mexico. Books written by Mexican authors.
What the NYT Missed: 71 More Best Books
This is a list put together by Lithub to highlight books they thought the NYT top 100 of the century missed out out. The full title is What the New York Times Missed: 71 More of the Best Books of the 21st Century and was published July 16, 2024. https://lithub.com/what-the-new-york-times-missed-71-more-of-the-best-books-of-the-21st-century/

Top 100 books of the 21st century
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.
