Guys, it’s Womadelaide weekend!<\/p>\n

To keep you busy while you’re counting down the hours, here are a few fun bits and pieces we’ve been collecting from around the internet.<\/p>\n

First, we have absolute proof that books are worth a lot of effort. Though, in my experience, there’s not normally \u00a32 million to reward said effort. Still, if you’re a\u00a0Mission Impossible<\/em> fan you should probably read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second, there’s going to be a book about a sniffer dog from Afghanistan that developed a fear of loud noises. This made me tear up. It’s okay: the dog ends up living happily ever after. Really, this has only a tenuous connection to books, but \u2013 y’know \u2013 we heart doggies. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Third, this campaign<\/a> has us wanting to go all audio all the time for our reading. And also rewatch some classic 80s\u00a0Neighbours<\/em>. And worship Jordan Raskopoulos. Listen to your heart indeed.<\/p>\n

Fourth, this story<\/a>\u00a0about a case of mistaken identity leading to jail in the US is terrifying. Then again, most things about the US are terrifying at the moment. Also a little bit ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Finally, to celebrate Womad\u00a0weekend we’re listening to some of our favourites from years past. Geoffrey Oryema will always be high on that list for me.<\/p>\n

Have a lovely weekend!<\/p>\n
