I haven‘t been to South America, but my daughter spent two months travelling with friends post-Uni
Thanks so much for the prompts, it‘s been fun

I realised my feed would be full of July stats tomorrow and thought I would see how many books I finished in July (2, haha). Discovered a discrepancy between books on my 2018 shelf and those read according to my reading challenge. Does this happen to anyone else, a book stuck on the bottom out of chronological order and ignored by the reading challenge?
pickAnother enjoyable #blameitonlitsy! I really liked the archaeological details as well as interesting facts about other disciplines - I'm a nerd at heart! The writing wasn't perfect but I honestly forgave her for every transgression because I enjoyed the story so much! I hope her playing with the idea of Elizabeth's memory and her phrenic library doesn't get too farfetched as the series continues... But very much looking forward to the other books!
We didn't get away for a break these Easter holidays, but decided to do a little trip to the Hartbeespoort Dam and specifically a lovely Dutch cheese farm today. Eating out as a family of four is currently a bit out of our budget, so we picnicked in the car and now my eldest is playing while the little one sleeps and I'm enjoying my book - another Kindle bargain and #blameitonlitsy read.
Multiple choice for any historians or related experts out there. The theory that the Olmec Civilization in ancient Mexico was influenced by Africans is:
(A) as proven as the theory of evolution;
(B) one of several credible competing theories;
(C) a minority viewpoint, but a respected one;
(D) fake news on the level of extra-terrestrials building Stonehenge.
It's actually the Mayan Mendacity - perfect afternoon read in the sun!
pickLoved this book so much! It has libraries, ancient history, good food from different cultures, and a lovely cast of characters. Rarely do I want to dive in and live with a cast of characters, but with this book that's exactly what I want. Sequel to come out in November and I can't wait!
Started this today to try and finish it before it's August 1 release date. So far, it's very good. There is a library and archives involved. What more could a book lover ask for?
