I finished the first of the 20 on my list:

1. Mali - The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: And Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts (Finished 2/5/18) This is a frightening but awesome look at how librarians and book lovers have had to save priceless manuscripts from jihadi terrorists in Mali.

2. Nepal - Time out for Beginners: 32 Days in a Buddhist Monastery in Nepal (3/6/18) This was an interesting book to me since I don't know very much about Buddhism. It was interesting and enlightening.

3. Switzerland - Murder in Montreux (3/13/18) This is a really good mystery!

4. Marshall Islands - Paradise Lost: A year on a vanishing island with the exiled Bikinians in the Marshall Islands - Alan A. Taylor (3/16/18) - This is a very interesting account that makes you think.

5. Chile - Death on the Patagonian Express by Hy Conrad (3/21/18)

6. Colombia - Heart of the World by Linda Barnes (8/2/18)
7. Denmark - The Little Café in Copenhagen (11/6/18)
