#Booked2021 #LibrariansInTitle
#Nonfiction2021 #AnotherCountry
Really intriguing NF book, set in Mali. The hero expands his family manuscript inheritance by going all over the country, and pulls together a preservation team to hide them when crisis erupts. I know nothing of Mali history, so found that and the activist narrative very interesting, although got lost with the vast, complex, but essential info about North African/Middle East politics.

Cinfhen I‘ve always been intrigued by this book based solely on the awesome title!! Your review makes me want to read it 🤓 3y
Singout Glad to hear it! I always use audio: print would be easier for keeping track of the politics. A bit of Wikipedia helped with that! 3y

I think this is what I will read next. It‘s been on my #botm backlist, plus it fills the #twofemaleauthors prompt for #pop19, #anothercountry for #nonfiction2019 and works for #NFNov.

What say you, Littens?

I‘m in a race to finish #popsugar2019 before the #pop20 list comes out. 😂

completed my read for #nonfiction2019 #anothercountry . This little book (133 pages) was written in 1905 by a Japanese philosopher, exploring the Japanese relationship with tea. There are some wonderful passages to be savored slowly while sipping your tea of course!☕️

Megabooks Awesome! 6y
