I‘m bailing on my last book for #ReadingAfrica22 - it was for #Zanzibar which is modern day #Tanzinia so not needed for my map 🙄Anyway….I really enjoyed my reading through Africa, so MANY GREAT BOOKS💟Thanks to @Librarybelle & @BarbaraBB for hosting this wonderful challenge ❣️looking forward to #ReadingAmericas2023.

It‘s hard to predict what I‘ll read this week but here‘s my #WeeklyForecast nonetheless ♥️
Two for #ReadingTheAmericas #Bolivia #Brazil
My last one for #ReadingAfrica22 ( but I will not complete the challenge)
Going to attempt #ToB23 shortlisted title - Babel
And the other 2 are calling me!!
Finished my ARC of Soul Twin - meh
This is a great real life spy story and it‘s set in #Africa for those participating in #ReadingAfrica22 #NonFictionNovember
Disclaimer- I only read part two of this travelogue which covers Paige & Jim‘s 16 months driving through Africa! The Roger‘s with little planning but a lot of hubris and apparently endless funds decide to drive through the entire continent of Africa. I was a little amazed how these two made it out alive, as they went places they had no business being & stumbled upon some dangerous scenarios. And who knew you could drive across Africa??
I had a great reading week…despite the length of Bono‘s memoir😉I LOVED the essay collection by Wendi Aarons & enjoyed the anthology about food & feelings. Kelly Ripa‘s & Matthew Perry‘s memoirs were slightly disappointing but I‘m still glad I read them. McK was infuriating & Mrs. Rogers (review to come) was a great filler for #ReadingAfrica22 🥳 My #AAM choice (Velvet) was ok - but not sure I want to read more from this author.
It‘s all #NonFictionNovember this week! I‘m almost done with the Kelly Ripa “memoir” - I love her but I‘m not really loving this collection as much. Two more books for #ReadingAfrica22 and two newly released celebrity memoirs. Started McKinsey last week, not sure how I feel yet but looking forward to reading more.
pickDefinitely more than I ever needed to know about the royals! Some parts were really difficult to get through ( Andrew & Jeffrey Epstein) and some parts I skimmed. The paparazzi are really vultures, being a royal kind of sucks, im not sure how I feel about Meghan, sorry for the loss of HM, I hope Charles can make his country proud, Diana‘s boys= national treasures & props to Camilla -she really stuck it out. And bonus #Lesotho #ReadingAfrica22
pickFinally finished this one today - and I must say Dipo Faloyin does exactly what he sets out to do….” breaking stereotypes of modern Africa” 🙌🏻❣️This book contains a lot of information mostly about how often African is pigeonholed into one common idea/place/ culture when it‘s SO much more. This was a bit drier than I expected but the knowledge and insight gained was well worth my time. And towards the very end I got #Mozambique 🙏🏻😁
