The principal person in the book I‘m reading for #Mexico, Miraflores, was 100% indigenous, of Aztec origins. So I‘m starting the tagged book by reading about the Aztecs. #readingtheAmericas @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

BarbaraBB You are really deep diving with the challenges. You‘ll become an expert on Latin America, just as you became one on Africa, Asia etc! 👍🏽 1y
Librarybelle Totally agree with @BarbaraBB ! 1y

This is my most exciting, and sadly most expensive, book I bought today. Fortunately a sizable Christmas gift from Mom funded my purchases today (thanks @Doll8455 !).

I wish I‘d had this book through all the continent reads I‘ve done, but I do plan to read it all. It‘s only 137 pages. But I specifically bought it for #readingtheamericas. It will work for #Guatemala #Mexico and #Peru and probably more. I‘ll add relevant countries as I read it.

Librarybelle Awesome! 1y
azulaco I want this. I have an atlas of the Classical Greek and Roman world, but I‘d love to have this. 1y
BarbaraBB So many ancient civilizations in Latin America have build the continent and its culture. This must be an interesting book! 1y
batsy That looks so interesting! 1y
