pickThis is a collection of short fiction by African and a few diasporic African writers from many different countries, including #EquatorialGuinea. I enjoyed reading it and being exposed to mostly new to me writers.

My husband is just wrapping up putting down new laminate in my office (also my nonfiction room), so I took the opportunity of having to move all my NF books to do some organizing. I‘ve pulled all my Africa-associated books, both fiction and non, and put them here on my closet shelves to start prepping for #ReadingAfrica2022!
Share your #mustreads of #Africa. I‘m addicted, and I‘ve read a lot, but let me know what you think should be on the list! 📚 📖
pickThanks so much for your patience! You can now read my full review of the most recent Lite Reads selection, The Sack by Namwali Serpell, link below. This grim story is brilliantly written in a way that few stories are, playing with style and form, and offering up a disturbing tale with many facts absent. Overall left me thinking. Let me know in the comments what you thought of this one! New selection shortly.

#Bookhaul from yesterday! Politics and Prose in DC had its member sale this weekend, so I stocked up on some already discounted remainders for cheap. 😁
Just turned in my #LitsyAtoZ form! I'm doing a mix of authors and titles as I will likely be participating in several reading challenges this coming year. I am going to try to focus on authors from marginalized backgrounds and social justice themes to stay on track. Do you have a method to your madness with this? I do like the relative flexibility of it.
