TEArificbooks I was thinking about

The Barefoot Emperor: An Ethiopian Tragedy

Butterfinger @mdm139 I thought about it too when I saw there were no posts. It's hard to choose. 3y

TheAromaofBooks Thank you so much for putting these together!! They really do help me get some ideas for what I want to read!! 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Thanks for the research starting point. I did a preliminary search on Libby & Hoopla and this one came up. I'll have to see if any of these others are available and start deciding.

The Shadow King

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Chef Marcus Samuelsson is Ethiopian-Swedish, so not straight up Ethiopian cooking, but might be worth checking out. Maybe his notoriety will persuade my guy to cook a meal for me.

Yes, Chef: A Memoir

Butterfinger @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I love Marcus Samuelsson. You and @Laughterhp have me interested in The Shadow King. 3y

Cinfhen Thanks for all the suggestions/ there are a few that caught my eye 3y

Catsandbooks Thank you!! Love this group!! 🥰 3y

Catsandbooks @Chrissyreadit For your love of coffee!

Chrissyreadit @Catsandbooks 😘😘😘thank you! 3y

OutAndAbout It's interesting that there are so many more nonfiction books than fiction for this one. I wanted to read Remote People, but couldn't find copies anywhere. So I'm going with...

Remote People

OutAndAbout

This Is A Soul: The Mission of Rick Hodes

howjessicareads Ahhhhh I‘m slacking at this challenge. 😅😅 3y

Butterfinger @howjessicareads no pressure whatsoever. 3y

alisiakae I‘m going to share more about this next month, but one of my former Ethiopian asylum seeker clients went to the Paralympics in 2008. He is an incredible person who overcame so many tragedies and struggles, and I‘m so proud to still call him a friend: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-09-12/abebe-fekadu-proud-to-lift-for-australia-... 3y

Butterfinger @4thhouseontheleft what a story!!! That article grips you from the first sentence. You should help him write his memoir. 3y

maich I will read

Finding Joy: A Gay Romance

Laughterhp Will this one work? It‘ll probably be the one I pick.

The Shadow King

Butterfinger @Laughterhp that one looks really good. I'm glad you found it. That one may be the one I choose. An homage to women. 3y

Native Ethiopian authors and poets. A few are Ethiopian-Americans. I could not find anything to represent the LGBTQ+ community. If you find something, please share. I want to represent everyone.

A friend wanted to meet up for a (distanced) lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant we both like that has just reopened, and at first I said no, I'm doing a readathon, and then I realized that supporting a Black-owned business > sitting at home and reading, and that I have time for both today. PLUS LOOK AT THAT!!! #juneteenthreadathon
