International book challenge, my pick for Georgia

Idk what possessed me to read a >800 page book completely outside of my usual genres at the end of the year when I still have 5 more books to go on my reading challenge, but so far this is super entertaining and surprisingly funny!

My global reading challenge selection for Bhutan!

The review had me at "reminiscent of Fleabag"...

966 pages...LFG!!! The first two stories are surprisingly witty and funny. Curious if this is a theme for his stories, or just a characteristic of his early work.

30 pages in and this book has already made me laugh out loud

My global reading challenge pick for Myanmar

Starting my global reading challenge book for Kuwait!

My global reading pick for Micronesia - super excited to read this and learn about this region of approximately 2000 (!!!) Pacific Islands.

The hype is real. This is an amazing and suspenseful book. It's categorized as fantasy, but it is also like Roman speculative fiction meets a thriller? Had to turn it back into the library, can't wait to get it back to finish the other half!

My global reading challenge selection for the Czech Republic!

Next country for my global reading challenge is Turkmenistan. I know *nothing* about this country, but the introduction did an outstanding job of introducing the political landscape of this country since its independence in 1991. Feel lucky to be reading it since it is apparently ranked 178/180 in the World Press Freedom Index :(

Next country: Turkmenistan!

Country #9 on the global reading challenge: Italy!

Not even 100 pages in and I've already bawled my eyes out x 1. This memoir is incredible.
