The Weekenders: Travels in the Heart of Africa | Alex Garland

I am starting a new Saturday feature, #WeekendReading.

For a lot of us we get the chance to read more at weekends so each Saturday let‘s share what we are reading that weekend.

I am listening to The PoisonWood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (#AuthoraMonth) and When Hoopoes Go To Heaven by Gaile Parkin. Both of which over countries for #ReadingAfrica 2022

What are you reading? Let‘s Share!

Soubhiville, Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

Bookworm04 @Andrew65 seen ur post joined tagged you :) exciting 3y

Tove_Reads About to finish Almost dead by Ragan ad starting Coben‘s Missing You and Killer Deal by Sofie Sarenbrant. 3y

Andrew65 @Bookworm04 Great 😍 3y

MaGoose Reading The Additional Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Hall. And trying to decide what else to read this weekend - can't decide, too many good choices! 3y

Andrew65 @MaGoose I hate trying to choose books which is why sometimes I produce lists. 3y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That‘s my commute read for Monday, Almost Dead. 3y

Bookwormjillk A nostalgic read for me- when I was in high school researching for my science fair project at my town‘s library I came across a long shelf under a forgotten window labeled “mystery”. I checked this book out a lifelong love of reading began

"A" is for Alibi

Velvetfur This is a fab idea Andrew! I'm concentrating on 'Awakening The Buddha Within' which I want to finish from last year (!) and recently started the audiobook 'The Quaker' so will probably listen a bit more of that over weekend. Which countries are your two Africa books for? 3y

Andrew65 @Bookwormjillk I‘ve only read A, sounds like I need to get on the other 24. 3y

EadieB I‘m finishing The Harlech Killings then hope to start Almost Dead and i‘ve got The Hundredth Man on audio but can‘t really get into that one. Been listening off and on for the past week and can‘t seem to figure out what‘s going on. May need to start over and read along with physical book. I feel lost! 3y

Bookwormjillk The Poisonwood Bible is a good one for #ReadingAfrica and #AuthorAMonth. I may have to re-read it this month. 3y

DGRachel I have a schedule printed so I can read everything I want to before library and book club deadlines, but I‘m already three days behind. 🤣🤣 I‘m hoping to finish The Dead of Winter by Nicola Upson, Bad Luck Bridesmaid by Alison Rose Greenberg, and The Guest List by Lucy Foley this weekend. 3y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur Is that the tagged book at the end of this post? If so I read it last year I believe. The PoisonWood Bible - Democratic Republic of Congo, Hoopoes - Swaziland (Eswatini now). Your bokks sound interesting.

The Quaker (Duncan McCormack #1)

Andrew65 @Bookwormjillk Kills two birds with one stone and a good read, 62% in, but quite a Chunkster at 640 Pages. 3y

EadieB @Andrew65 I read the Poisonwood Bible around 2010 and enjoyed it but haven‘t read any of her other books. I‘ve seen where others have said that her other books don‘t measure up to her first one. 3y

Andrew65 @DGRachel Some good books you‘re in the middle of. (edited) 3y

Andrew65 @EadieB Hard to follow the success of a week renowned first book. 3y

AmyG This weekend it‘s

The Thursday Murder Club

Andrew65 @EadieB Forgot to post that one. Hoping to get to The Harlech Killings tomorrow. Some books just do not work with audiobooks for some reason. Others are great. Almost Dead will be my commute read on Monday. 3y

Andrew65 @AmyG That‘s a great read and a a good second book in the series out too. (edited) 3y

ShananigansReads I want to finish up Jingle Bell Beard on Kindle. Not sure what audiobook I want to start next 3y

ElizaMarie I‘m about to start

The Sun Down Motel

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk oooo I love Kinsey. I‘m currently up on

K Is For Killer

CocoReads Reading Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover and Watching Over You by Lori Foster. Also it‘s been at least a year since I physically set foot in a library—I‘m planning on a quick trip the my local branch in a couple hours when I‘m cleaned up 3y

KellyK Working my way through Harlem Shuffle and listening to Death on the Nile.

I binge-read the Alphabet Mysteries a few years ago and was just finishing up Y isfor Yesterday when a saw the news that Sue Grafton had passed away. 😢

Harlem Shuffle: A Novel

Clwojick Currently reading A Flicker in the Dark, and then I‘ll be moving on to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. 3y

Lizpixie I‘m reading Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear, the 1st in the White Space series, a SciFi set 100s of years in the future. So far it‘s been brilliant!

Ancestral Night

CoffeeNBooks I love this idea! Thanks for the tag! 3y

Andrew65 @Bookjunkie57 The last of the Christmas books? 3y

Andrew65 @ElizaMarie Love that book. (edited) 3y

Andrew65 @ElizaMarie I really do need to get to that series. 3y

Andrew65 @CocoReads I have on,y bern in twice, once to pick up a reserve, once to return it. 3y

Andrew65 @KellyK So sad she didn‘t get to finished the series. 3y

Andrew65 @Clwojick Love the Seven Husbands, enjoy! 3y

Andrew65 @Lizpixie Let me know what it‘s like. 3y

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks Great to hear 😊 3y

EadieB @KellyK @Andrew65 Grafton passed away in 2017. I was just reading about her on Wiki. Quite interesting: While going through a "bitter divorce and custody battle that lasted six long years", Grafton imagined ways to kill or maim her ex-husband. Her fantasies were so vivid that she decided to write them down. She told her daughter a ghost would haunt anyone who tried to finish her series. As far as she was concerned, the alphabet ended with “Y.” (edited) 3y

Librarybelle Lots is great #ReadingAfrica2022 reading this weekend! 3y

Megabooks The Poisonwood Bible is great! 3y

Andrew65 @Librarybelle 😍 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Great idea! I will be reading for the second week of #sundaybuddyread The Other Side of Midnight and Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World. If there's time I also have Death on the Nile. I don't usually get much audiobook listening in on the weekends but I have Cleopatra: A Life and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck going, too. I was iffy on reading Kingsolver this month but seeing the comments here, I might try The Poisonwood Bible. 3y

Andrew65 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Just be aware it‘s a big book. 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Yes, a chunkster. And likely the #1 reason I was apprehensive to pick one up. Hey, if I bail, so be it. 😁 3y

PageShifter Thanks for the tag. I have also read The PoisonWood Bible! 3y

IamIamIam Great idea, Andrew!! Also a great way to add to #MountTBR! 😂 I'm revisiting A Separate Peace, which was a favorite of mine from high school but I'm struggling to remember why... 🤨 And for #Bookspin, I'm hoping to start this later today:

The Ickabog

Andrew65 @IamIamIam True #MountTBRAccumulation! Amazing when you read books again and can lead to different thoughts. For me it was

JanuarieTimewalker13 Thank you!!! 3y

Kimzey How do I tag a book? 3y

Crazeedi @Kimzey look for the little tag underneath where you are writing a post. Theres a tag and a skull and crossbones, the tag will bring up the place where you can type in book. The skull is if you want to hide your post! 3y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 I'd love a post with Africa books!! 3y

Kimzey @Crazeedi Thank you! 3y

Kimzey Listening to

The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot

Andrew65 Thanks @Crazeedi for helping @Kimzey to tag a book. 3y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 🥰 3y
