Rapante's Caribbean Cruise

[Rapunzel]

Listing books I may potentially read for my Caribbean Cruise (2023-?)

Basically my Caribbean shelf but sorted according to island/country/port

The books aren't necessarily set on the islands; if so the author should be born there and the aspect of Caribbean culture is mentioned in the blurb of the book.

New Orleans & Guyana

Before I set out to explore Caribbean literature I visited East & Southeast Asia via books. I never listed them in this group, bc I didn't feel like following any of the specific challenges. But it might be nice to have an overview over what I read, so I'm listing here, I think that should be okay.

East Asia

China


Korea +Taiwan
&

Japan



Southeast Asia

Vietnam + Laos + Thailand
& &

Cambodia + Burma/Myanmar + Philippines
& &

Singapore


Malaysia


Indonesia

I must say that Malaysian and Indonesian literature appealed to me the most, and I will continue reading books from/set in that area.
