I'm already trying to read a book set in every country in the world (based on the UN list), but obviously not all in one year. I've done 64 so far.
I'm in a group on Goodreads where people are doing similar challenges. I don't post in the group often but there is a master list of suggestions for each country.

Sounds useful...

elliej84 too many to list at the moment but generally the Caribbean island nations and more obscure African nations are trickier to find

Ann Morgan in her book Reading the World actually had to commission books from certain tiny nations, not all countries have a print culture. Burkina Faso anyone?? Or how about Madagascar?? All suggestions gratefully received!

Something about the author's name spoke to me and I checked and in fact I've read her previous book Island of a Thousand Mirrors, also set in Sri Lanka, but it was before I started on my quest. So an extra big thank you - I've filled in another country without having to read anything new!!
