This has been in my TBR for ages. It was a powerful portrait of strength and courage and also a reminder of how much I have taken for granted in my life.

Ready to have my mind blown and my spirit inspired.
The wrath of the Taliban is depressing and traumatic and her story is no exception. Malala ‘s father is pro women‘s education where only men get it. The Pashtun tribe of Pakistan is very peaceful and has lots of passed down wisdom, and devotion to the peaceful religion of Islam. Life was good for her and her family. See below👇
I decided I hate Malala‘s dad. He knows he‘s too poor to be a father, and his man friend told him so. Then he decides to have countless children! “There was no kitchen, no plumbing. When my mother arrived, Hidayatullah had to move into the office and sleep on a hard wooden chair.” page 42. Do I need any other reasons?
I am now reading this book. I am 9% through it. I should have started it a long time ago.
She is amazing. Her courage is astounding and I loved her story. There really isn't anything else to say.

This should be a genre! I love books like these, which include the tagged book, which should be a must-read for everyone. Read more here:

This article is wrecking my tbr list!
Malala details her life in Pakistan fighting for the rights of education to all children.
Worth the time to read/listen to.
I‘ve been meaning to read this book for years. Now I‘ll finally do it!

#two4tuesday Thanks @TheSpineView for the tag!
1. Tough one but I‘ll have to go with the two non-fiction books I read this month, tagged and In Search of a Kingdom.
2. Same ole same ole challenges.
A fast easy read memoir by “the girl shot by the taliban.”. I encourage anyone who hasn‘t read it yet to do so, it won‘t take you long. But you learn from a child‘s perspective what life was like before the taliban and what living with terrorism is like. You learn what getting shot at point blank range feels like because you dared to say that women should get an education. She‘s a real hero and this was an inspirational read.
“We traveled by bus to the famous White Palace, a wonder built of white marble so unearthly it floated like a cloud. My friends and I stared in awe at its rooms and gardens. Then we ran around, chasing one another, in the deep green forest.”

It turned out this “Radio Mullah” was a high school dropout with no education of the Koran, sharing his extreme opinions nationwide in Pakistan.
I finished Morocco for #foodandlit so I finally get to start my book for #Pakistan. I‘ve been looking forward to meeting this brave woman and I get to start tonight! @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks
4/5 ⭐️ Such incredible strength by this young woman! Her story is by no means an easy or happy read but it is important. I look forward to seeing what Malala's future holds!

This was my #bookspin for August. #bookspinbingo
Amazing and brave story. I look forward to Malala‘s future successes for women‘s rights and access to education. I enjoyed hearing her perspective. I had to go back when the book finished and listen to the prologue again, as read by the author.
Day 2 at #LitsySummerCamp was pretty but this work elective kept me inside more than I would have preferred. I slept OK but after 5.5 hours in the car yesterday my back hurt. At lunch, I did a few laps around the property to stretch then sat on this bench looking at the Hackensack River listening to the tagged book.
@ImperfectCJ
What do you plan to read for August? #Pakistan #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
I have not read I Am Malala yet. I don't know why. I have the picture book for Chaya - Twenty Two Cents. We're going to reread A Thousand Questions too.
@Bookwormjillk posted how some food has become part of her norm. My family has eaten Norwegian meatballs three other times. We love it so much. With currant jam.

My reads for April 2021. I‘m recognizing Muslim authors this month- so many beautiful stories. 💕
I didn‘t get as much reading in this month- even though I had a long list of books. I had less time to read this month and some of these were really emotional stories. I spend more time reflecting on a book if it‘s a really emotional read.

Has anyone participated in an Athenian Dialogue before? I‘m participating in one on this book next month and wondered if there are Littens who can tell me what to expect. #AthenianDialogue
I finished this yesterday, except for the interview in the reading guide which I just read. Malala is amazing. I knew very little about Pakistan history, like most Americans I‘d guess, and even the recent events were fuzzy. Highly recommend this book both for a strong woman to know and for current(ish) events.
"My father always said, "Malala will be free as a bird." I dreamed of going to the top of Mount Elum like Alexander the Great to touch Jupiter and even beyond The Valley. But, as I watched my brothers running across the roof, flying their kites and skillfully flicking the strings back and forth to cut each other's down, I wondered how free a daughter could ever be."
-Malala Yousafzai
This would be a great school read, everyone could get something out of it really. Unbelievable the courage this girl has and continue to has.
An inspiring story of a girl who stood up for what she believed in. The language is simple and direct.
Read this for #readingasia2021 #pakistan as well as #booked2021 #SETINACOUNTRYWHEREUNPEACEKEEPERSARE
