Title: Bookish Wanderers #6: Books Written in English (but not from the US)
Details
Bookish Wanderers are a group of curious minds and passionate readers. We believe in the power of books to inspire, challenge, and connect us.
The US is the largest book market in the world. The majority of books we have access to is likely from the US. In this meeting, we would like to turn the spotlight on books written in English from other countries. Many of them deserve a lot more exposure.
