Lilisa's 2018 Trip Around the World

[Lilisa]

So many places to see, so little time! The plan is in progress! :-)

[Lilisa]

I have five books lined up so far.

Sightseeing - Thailand (short stories)
In Other Words - Italy
Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America - U.S. (Iranian immigrant)
Lucky Boy - U.S. (Mexican and Indian characters)
The World Between Two Covers: Reading the Globe - various countries (has a 3.38 GR rating so I'm iffy about this one)
