It led me to Here the Whole Time which is a book I really enjoyed. One resource I found helpful in my search for titles is the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative. Over the past few years, I’ve read a few titles in the list below, but I’m starting to make more of an effort to read books from other areas of the world. On our blog we’re definitely trying to read and recommend books that are from a wide variety of creators, but when I examine my personal reading history, the books are indeed mostly American-centric. Earlier this year I saw a thought-provoking video from a BookTuber named Saajid considering the question, “Is the book community American-centric?” I’ve been pondering things Saajid mentioned in the video for several months. ![]()
