Filipa (fiwipa) | 34 comments Here it goes, my bingo hits for the 2024 edition of the Magic Squares grid :)

The Jewels of Aptor by Samuel R. Delany Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi Bushido The Soul of Japan (The ^AWay of the Warrior Series) by Inazo Nitobe Quando as Montanhas Cantam by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai Sunset Oasis by Bahaa Taher
Caderno proibido by Alba de Céspedes Almoço de Domingo by José Luís Peixoto A Breve Vida das Flores by Valérie Perrin FAILED Treasure Uncovered (Bellingwood, #3) by Diane Greenwood Muir

For children ages 5-8. by Tej Rae By Reef and Palm by Louis Becke La invención de Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares
Casa-Grande e Senzala Formação da Família Brasileira Sob o Regime da Economia Patriarcal by Gilberto Freyre Le livre des sœurs by Amélie Nothomb My Early Life, 1874-1904 by Winston S. Churchill The Havoc of Choice by Wanjiru Koinange Coconut by Kopano Matlwa

I think it did led me to read some unexpected things (like the strange Adolfo Bioy Casares) and to finish at least one non-fiction book I had been dragging on (oh Gilberto Freyre)
Strangely I didn't really read that many Latin American authors this year, but sure it will be corrected from September onwards as I move back to the region.
And as for my Scandinavia gap... I felt it would be easy to find a book, but ended up not being attracted to anything I saw.
If a 2025 grid comes out will definitely try to join!
