African Box Returns Home

Great news! Soffitta1's 3rd Bookbox (Africa Theme) arrived on my doorstep a few days ago. A good mix of books, with various countries represented. I am hoping that this will help with my Olympic Challenge. The plan right now is to send this out in the summer, giving me plenty of time to read books to go in the next round.
