A ever-growing list of all the books I'm reading for a "reading around the world" challenge: trying to read (at least) one book from every country in the world. I'm picking books based on different criteria, for example, i'm trying to pick LGBTQ books, books written by immigrants and other stories that are important to hear from around the world.
