Escapism, escapism, this month.
Way behind in reviews!🤯

@Bookwormjillk #NFNovember is a wrap (yesterday)

I was able to finish 7 of my 8 titles, pretty much all of them are well worth the time. Stand outs were The Facemaker and Kolisi's book. Year of the Tiger was fantastic. The rest were very political and I am very tired at the moment on this front.

I am hanging onto Behind the Beautiful Forevers, I know it will be worth it whe I can convince myself to pick it up.

An important read for Americans. This is my last for #NFNovember (7 of 8) and my 3rd of 4 for #20in4
I learned a lot (Nixon was a Quaker? The meet your husband at the door in Saran wrap was an Evangelical idea b/c they think women are not doing enough to please their men?) a lot I knew but it was good to see in writing laid out (the fueled & imaginary idea/hatred towards Muslims)
I think this is an incredibly important read. 👇

"You are South Africa. Embrace it."
This is not the book for someone who is not a rugby (particularly a Springbok) fan. There are lots of play by plays of games and an assumption that you know the 2019/2024 team (he drops names like nobody's business not really telling you which side). Lucky me I am a massive Bok fan and was easily able to follow.
More than a rugby book though Siya takes us from his childhood poverty - going weeks living on ?

#20in4readathon

My last read of #NFNovember and fits so nicely with 2024 being my year of Hamilton (finally watched it on Disney+ in July and quickly became obsessed, watching it live in person when it came to my city on my birthday). This book was interesting - love learning more about the process and Lin‘s notes about each song were fantastic. Love getting into musician‘s brains and he‘s someone I wouldn‘t mind chatting with

I am making real progress on Tartt I really love the book but it is a slow read.
I started Cantoras since it needs to go back to the library it is lovely. I am almost half into Rise which is really making me want to do nothing but watch rugby! Rise and Jesus and John Wayne are some of my last for #NFNovember. Hoping to finish all 4 of these this week. Then onto December....
