Kristi’s comments from the Around the World in 80 Books group.

18. Europe - Czechia: The Three Golden Keys by Peter Sís

17. Europe - Sweden: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman - Excellent story about how life gets overwhelming and how we all need each other. I appreciated the reminder to always look for the small ways we can connect and help another person. Very funny ... I laughed out loud many times.

16. Europe - Italy: The Lovers by Paolo Cognetti ... Sparse, simple, lovely tribute to the mountains that will be here long after us.

15. Europe - England: The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Excellent story about the power of books to create community, share kindness, and bravely face the daily challenges of life. And at the very end, the author added an extra list of books that have helped her overcome tough days. Loved this book!

14. Africa - Algeria: A Bookshop in Algiers by Kaouther Adimi

13. Europe - Denmark: Meet Me at the Museum by Anne Youngson …. Fantastic! 5 stars!

12. Europe - Scotland: The Bookshop on the Corner, by Jenny Colgan … Delightful, sweet, and great descriptions of weather and small-town culture in Scotland.
