This is such a cool list, thank you! Do you have any books that also deal with mines? I need one for a challenge đ

From my tbr: Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara is about mining in the Congo. How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn is about a welsh mining town, I donât know how much involves actual mining.
If graphic novels count I just finished Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton, which was super interesting.
Hope you find something good for your challenge!
Thank you!
