Well. We have made it through September. School start this year was … different. And our school days are … different. And yet, it takes little time before things feel familiar, before the different doesn’t feel so different. This year has been a voyage without travel as we’ve all lived through unprecedented times.

This year, we will continue reading stories from Around the World, but one continent at a time. During October, pick up a story from Asia. I have learned that Asia is not only large geographically, it is diverse in regions and countries. So don’t think one book covers you off. Choose something from the South, the West, the North, or the Southeast. It could be fantasy, a true story, or realistic fiction. It might even be philosophy. But let these authors tell you their stories and find your horizons expanding and your understanding growing as you travel with them around Asia.
