It's certainly been an interesting experience, and thinking on it I have also expanded my knowledge about some world events. Our lives can have a very narrow focus if we only read authors from our home country.
Yes, think that is true. I’ve read from UK, Ireland, Australia, Tanzania, Germany, Mexico, Nigeria, Haiti, France, China, Japan, Korea, wow more then I thought. I do like to learn about different countries at different times, but the way you are doing it is great. I am reading Before We were Free, by Julia Alvarez, soon, that’s set in the Dominican Republic, and The Silence of the White City by Eva Garcia Saenz is translated from Spanish and located in Spain. My dad gave me that one, Said really good. Enjoy.
I am reading The Jetsetters. I am interested in Charlotte's character.
She is older an is looking back on her choices in life.

my current reading it's eight million gods by David B. Gil it's a good book about the history of Japan

Thank you for the encouragement!

Jetsetters, had not thought to read, but sounds like a lot like it, so maybe rethink. A Paris Library have that book, and heard good things about it. Have book Betty, Hamnet, and If I had Your Face deciding between. I need to focus and pick one 😙
I am reading the Sundown Motel. Seems intriguing so far. I am also more than halfway done with John Le Carre's book Agent Running in the Field. That one is really good.
I just finished The Book of Longings
Intellectually interesting, but it failed to move me emotionally. Here’s a link to my four star review:

I adored Deacon King Kong. Hope you love this one as much.
My year with Eleanor.Inspired by the courage of Eleanor Roosevelt, the character (Noelle) decides to confront one fear a day for an entire year. It really is inspiring, especially for people living with anxiety! Since it is a memoir, I think readers can really relate to Noelle.
Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly, and the Making of the Modern Middle Eastby Scott Anderson
I'm always surprised by books that are for my book club especially ones like this one as it would never be on my radar. Who knows, I might just like it as I did with Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard
which was amazing!!!

Starting Outlawed by Anna North atonight and listening to This Is A Story Of A Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett
Erika wrote: "The Last Houseguest"I just finished that a few days ago, I wasn't too impressed. Are you liking it?

That sounds really interesting. I’ve read a bunch from different countries, but haven’t actively been trying to. You’ll probably learn a lot reading from all those countries.
