An important book in South African literature. It‘s an easy and entertaining read. Hard to believe it‘s from the 40s - before apartheid and still so accurate 🤷🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lawrence Anthony details his struggle to save the last northern white rhinos.

Wonderfully written, albeit a hard read especially because rhinos are my favorite animal.

Absolutely loved this one! I've never really seen much of Trevor Noah's work but he had a crazy childhood & his storytelling ability was amazing. Born in South Africa during apartheid & growing up in the wake of it, he learned to adapt himself to fit in with different groups. He speaks a ton of languages & does great impressions of his friends and family. I was laughing so much throughout and yet I learned a lot about South African history as well

“From the day a girl is born, she is told she needs a love story to survive. It‘s everywhere. In poetry and music and films and books. She‘s told life is worthless without love. She is told SHE is worthless without love... But what no one tells her, what no one talks about, is that it can kill her. That the very thing they say can save her can destroy her. Love is a trap, darling.“ (Chapter 3)

Preparing for a 1-2 week long sick leave. Also have 5 books from NetGalley. Do you think this is enough? 🫣

Got my library haul of 5 books from SA, and one from Botswana 🙂💪🏽🥳 Bring on summer, I‘m ready! In August-September I will start very intensive writing projects and studies, so now it‘s time to #readthesummerof25 Something I just came up with 🤣 Read, read, read the books you want, about the themes you want, off your shelf, off your e-reader, help your library by reading their books. You know what I‘m talking about! ❤️
