pickFinished Hotel Africa, a very strong anthology, with stories about/set in hotels all over Africa, by solely African writers, today.
I'm so glad I came across this book - I thoroughly enjoyed nearly all the stories and learned a shit ton from it. It shows how little we know (at least I did) about life in Africa.
Found a few new promising writers I'm definitely going to keep an eye on.
What a fascinating, diverse continent, what a great book!
Four hours to go till midnight here in Germany and eventually it's become clear that my #firstlast book will be one and the same.
I've paused my reading of the tagged book for a bit as it didn't qualify for any prompts of #Gottacatchemall hosted by @PuddleJumper (at least not as quick as needed😉) and it doesn't feel very winterly. ❄️
But now I've caught all the #Pokemon I wanted, I'm ready to continue Hotel Africa and start into 2024 with it.🎉
You took over your route from a man who was half-blind in one eye and had the IQ of a pine table.

A tiny bit more reading done in a lodge in Hazyview, South Africa. The book's pretty good so far.
Although I didn't get much time to read during the last few days, I'll join #NovelNovember @Andrew65
I'm back in Germany the day after tomorrow, however, so there'll be more time to read then, I hope. 😊
