Hello everyone 😊 I had this idea of reading a novel from every country of the world. I am aware that it will take me sometime to do but I thought I would start. I posted here about this idea a few days ago and I received many suggestions. Now I finished the first part of the list, and wanted to share it with you. The rest will be shared before the end of the year (working on it). The books are mostly novels, except for one poetry book and a couple of memoirs.
