Finished my #aprilbookspin last night. It was a bit heavy, maybe also due to the weird circumstances it was read in. But it was interesting and multifaceted, and I loved how it included studies and examples from all over the continent, not just the most known countries. I felt like I learned just as much about Gabon and Cape Verde as I did about South Africa.

Taking a break from my audioknitting to start April's #bookspin book. This is a remnant from my semester of studying anthropology, maybe I'll actually read it this time 😅🙈
