Hotel Africa: New Short Fiction from Africa | Helen Moffett, Africa Day Story Short
post image

Four hours to go till midnight here in Germany and eventually it's become clear that my #firstlast book will be one and the same.
I've paused my reading of the tagged book for a bit as it didn't qualify for any prompts of #Gottacatchemall hosted by @PuddleJumper (at least not as quick as needed😉) and it doesn't feel very winterly. ❄️
But now I've caught all the #Pokemon I wanted, I'm ready to continue Hotel Africa and start into 2024 with it.🎉

It is unlikely that I will finish any of my recent starts before the end of 2022. I‘m hooked on them all so far.

Thanks for the opportunity, Kristen!

#12booksof2022

Yes, we‘re on June. No, seasonal reading isn‘t my thing. Yes, now you mention it, this was my #firstlast book last January. And yes, I do enjoy taking my time over books.

This is a gorgeous collection of snowy essays from round the world. And we might even (not) discuss it at bookclub next month! I probably won‘t have read it again before then…

Andrew65 Sounds interesting. 2y
Kristin_Reads I just got this in the mail! It‘s such a pretty cover ❄️ 2y

City of Tears | Kate Mosse
post image

My last book of 2020 is Kate Mosse‘s The City of Tears. I have 3 hours left to go and it‘s quite epic!

My first book of 2021 will be Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, with @squirrelbrain and @Cinfhen , who have been so sweet as to declare this a #NonBuddyRead, as I‘m a bit of a disaster with buddy reads. Thank you for putting up with my nonsense, ladies 😘😘😘

#firstlast @BookNAround

TrishB Lol 😆 I‘m the worst buddy read partner ever, I hear ya! 4y
rockpools @TrishB I think I have a 0% success rate - which is helpful 🤫 4y

squirrelbrain I may have already started it! Rachel @Cinfhen - I won‘t finish it until tomorrow though so I can count it... I‘m a stickler for the ‘rules‘! 4y
Cinfhen Hehehehe...how is it so far @squirrelbrain 4y
squirrelbrain It‘s written in an unusual style, but I‘m liking it! @Cinfhen 4y
rockpools @squirrelbrain Yay! Unusual is good (I hope!) 4y
