Kristi | 17 comments 15. Europe - England: The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Excellent story about the power of books to create community, share kindness, and bravely face the daily challenges of life. And at the very end, the author added an extra list of books that have helped her overcome tough days. Loved this book!

Kristi | 17 comments 17. Europe - Sweden: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman - Excellent story about how life gets overwhelming and how we all need each other. I appreciated the reminder to always look for the small ways we can connect and help another person. Very funny ... I laughed out loud many times.
