Country names are links to the reviews of the books I read. This contains all the valid recommendations I’ve had. As Time permits I'll try to get a short list of the books she actually wrote and highlight them in Orange as I have done for the first Country Afghanistan. It looks like one must click each country name to see which book she chose to read however. The link follows to her website / blog and I am copying and pasting her suggested list. As a bibliophile, I find the idea intriguing, and I'll try to find some of these books to add to my reading 'Bucket List'.
