Here‘s my January wrap up for #ReadingAfrica2022! I got a strong start on Asia last January, which really helped my with the challenge, so I decided to do the same this year and have read nine countries so far! 🥳 They are: Algeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zanzibar.

Librarybelle Woohoo! Great job!! 3y
tenar How awesome! Which book was your favorite? 3y
Hooked_on_books @tenar I would say Algeria. The book is set mostly in France, focusing on a group of French Algerians, and flashes back to Algeria itself. It‘s a side of colonialism we don‘t always think about and I found it really interesting. Plus, the whodunnit part was really satisfying. 3y

tenar Ooh, that does sound good! Thank you for sharing and congrats on your great start! 3y
NaomiO That‘s amazing. What book did you read about Morocco? Was it fiction or non-fiction? I‘ve been trying to find a fiction book that takes place in Morocco. 3y
Hooked_on_books @NaomiO I read In the Country of Others by Leila Slimani. It wasn‘t bad, but I didn‘t love it. I have a couple others on my TBR, so I don‘t know how they are: Tangerine by Christine Mangan and The Diver‘s Clothes Lie Empty by Vendela Vida, so you could try one of those. I hope you find one you enjoy! 3y
BarbaraBB That is such an achievement! I have tried to read as many as possible too in January but didn‘t read nine!! 3y
NaomiO @Hooked_on_books Thanks so much! 3y
