Lots of books read last month but only three new countries (Malaysia, Mali, Mongolia) and one Australian state (Victoria)visited by book so my map doesn’t look very different from last month.

Map Monday 🗺📍

📌 Ukraine.
A country. A conflict. A story still unfolding.

#ThreeYearsonFire by Andrey Kurkov captures life of the Ukranian people under siege, as it happens.

Raw, urgent, and deeply human.
A must read!

Pink blossom against a blue sky, sadly not cherry blossom in Japan tho!

I'm so happy that people have taken to the idea of the #ReadTheWorld book group.
Two new members today and great discussions about Japanese books from all genres and eras. So many new books and thoughts to process.

Next month we're dipping into North African literature.
