Also if you want suggestions for 39 I'd be happy to make some!
I basically hyperfocused on picking books for this list while going through Horror Xmas Breakup. 34 was so hard - but there is actually a list! There's lists for most of them:

But I found that for a lot of them, the setting was only partly in a landlocked country! I read The Rules Do Not Apply - which was delightfully sad and gay which was just what my sad gay bum needed, but it's mostly set in the US.
Re: 39, I am def taking recs! :) The one I've got on there for now is Crippled by Frances Ryan. I've followed her for a long time and been meaning to read her book, and a friend recommended it too so I put it on the list, but I wanted to read it before they recommended it so it feels like cheating! XD
