Whether you want to read more WiT in terms quantity of books, or from a wider variety of countries or languages, or read all of the works of a single author, or add more translated nonfiction into your reading life, use this thread to recommend good books, to track your #WiT reading, to ask for suggestions, whatever makes your reading life richer. Our challenges are intended to be fun and enriching ---- not an additional stressor."

So yeah. I have a few female nobel winners left unread, I also have a few African countries I'm trying to complete the continent this year, and I have an intention to read some of the blanks on my European map (Balkans mostly) - and where I can, I want those to be women.
I also have some long overdue ladies waiting on my 50 african women everyone should read - challenge, that would fit here...
So I think I'll just add my women read - and lump them into some of these categories as I go. And add some planned reading in case others can use it as inspiration :)
