According to the United Nations there are 54 countries in Africa. I think I'll have to edit my list!

Hi Marissa, are you looking for suggestions for books on the various African countries?

Yes. I am also including books that I've read (with month and year).

Marissa, I moved your thread to the Personal Lists folder.

Create Your Own Visited Countries Map

This is such a wonderful idea! Great to see this happening, as literature about Africa seldom gets enough exposure. Thank you!

For Mali, can I suggest this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

All the best and have fun with your reading!

[Marissa]

Thank you for the recommendation!! This is a big undertaking, but I'm excited to keep ticking books off there list. I'm already learning so much.

[Rob]

That's excellent!
Every culture in Africa is a bit different from the rest, eh?
