For (yesterday's) #agameoffavorites I researched authors from the country I'd like to visit the most, Botswana. Unity Dow's life and bibliography are impressive. She is a women's rights, human rights and education activist, and was the first woman appointed as a judge to the high court of Botswana. I couldn't find any information on her favorite book, but I'm very excited to read her work and learn more about her life.

pickThought-provoking. I'm so glad I found this book through #readaroundtheworld (Botswana). The No 1 Ladies Detective series does the light, humorous side, but this is real life, the dark corruption, witchcraft & human rights abuses by government officials. Unity Dow is a high court judge who brings depth to the story but also great warmth & humour. I loved the feisty heroines especially Amantle. Uneven but an easy, engaging style & sense of place.
"The extent of your stupidity isn't the uppermost concern in my mind right now..." Love Amantle, the feisty heroine of this story!
Starting this one, no idea what to expect. Accompanied by vegetable soup with Persian feta and crispy pancetta. 😋 #booknlunch
What next? 🤓 #tbrbingo
pickAmantle Bokaa takes a yearlong assignment at a clinic in a remote village of Botswana and makes a chilling find in the storage closet which blows open the case of a girl who's been missing for 5 years. While uneven in places, this is a fascinating look into a country involving sexism, violence and corruption. The author is the first female High Court judge in Botswana. #readaroundtheworld #botswana
#Bookhaul! I used my Powell's gift card from my birthday (the BF is a smart guy, getting me what I asked for), and my order arrived today. A couple of blame it on Litsy along with some prepping for #readaroundtheworld: Dow is from Botswana and Valdés is Cuban.
