Welcome to Litsy!

#WeekendReads

I am not often on the reading one book train but here we are. I‘m really enjoying #PartnersInCrime we‘ll see if I pick up anything else as the weekend moves along.

Posting the #WeekendReads graphic for this weekend early to give people some lead time if they want to edit the image to show what they're reading. Feel free to post this version or the other one, whichever you like!

Wood walked through some pretty serious terrain (the Sahara) and came this close to dying of thirst, dangerous lands (South Sudan), and paranoid lands (Egypt). What I loved most were his conversations with Boston, Wood‘s Congolese guide who lived in #Uganda, which consumed a lengthy part of his walk. Boston provided a unique perspective about so many things, but mostly from the experiences of the destitute who do what they can to survive, even ⬇️

Well written, but a slow read. Way too much stats for this non-sports, non-basketball girl. Sooley is from South Sudan and hopes to make his dreams come true as an American basketball player. As he attains the 1st step to this goal and is out of the country, his father is murdered by rebels and his family is displaced. You will feel like you are there. Lots of basketball excitement.

I usually really enjoy James Patterson, but not this time. It was just so unbelievable, and nothing moved forward.

Still some detail to add and a few styles not pictured. But audiocrafting can be very productive. #Uganda #Foodandlit @Catsandbooks
