    Guys you really need to start recommending books by authors that aren’t Western/White. I’ve looked at all your reading lists and I don’t think you’re doing Career Girls from other countries favors by excluding their knowledge. Iranian authors are incredible, Latin America has gorgeous fiction, and Japanese authors are super insightful and direct in writing. Let’s expand our reading lists for real.

      I couldn’t agree more. Not to mention that they keep recycling stuff everybody is speaking about on other White Western girl blogs.
