I Am Malala Abridged Quick Reads Edition
I Am Malala Abridged Quick Reads Edition: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban | Malala Yousafzai, Christina Lamb
*Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize* When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, 9 October 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price when she was shot in the head at point-blank range. Malala Yousafzai's extraordinary journey has taken her from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations. She has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and is the youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. I Am Malala will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

This book was published in 2013. It talks about the life of Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani girl who stood up for girls' education despite Taliban threats, which ultimately led to an assassination attempt on her life. The book won the Nobel Peace Prize, symbolizing Malala‘s extraordinary courage and advocacy for education rights worldwide.

💙 I currently have an iPhone, but have been contemplating switching to android.
💙 I read parts of the tagged book on my phone while waiting in lines. My ereader fits in my purse, so it's not often that I need to read on my phone.

I've had a small reading slump since the end of March. I only partially blame Beyonce's new album. 🤣 But now I'm getting back into the swing of things. And I'm finally getting around to posting April's #bookspin and #doublespin selections.

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👇

JohnLAndBenji There was poverty before the Taliban, especially after a large earthquake. Then the Taliban invaded, and made life more of living hell. They destroy schools, especially ones for girls and women, mosques, and hospitals and kill anyone they feel like. Police and the Pakistani military are slaughtered. They caused nonstop violence. Malala protests the Taliban and it makes her a target. 2y

People forgot about her, in my opinion. She‘s a brave and strong woman who deserves our respect by reading her book.

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.

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.

BookDadGirlDad On my TBR shelf. Scared to read it. 3y

Texreader @CoffeeNBooks I can‘t tell you how happy that makes me. I really think it should be required reading in our schools. Bless you! 3y
Texreader @BookDadGirlDad She handles difficult topics very well. I‘m livid about the whole situation but I didn‘t stress out with it as I have with another memoir I‘m reading in which the author faced fanatical extremists as well. Malala‘s story is so uplifting. 3y

It turned out this “Radio Mullah” was a high school dropout with no education of the Koran, sharing his extreme opinions nationwide in Pakistan.

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.

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.

Texreader I‘ll be reading the tagged book. Just now starting #Morocco though. 😬 3y
Texreader Glad you like the Norwegian meatballs. They are different from the Swedish version but also so good. I‘m just lazy and make the frozen Swedish ones from IKEA. Do you make the Norwegian meatballs with the golden raisins? I really hate that recipe version but husband makes it periodically. 🤨 3y
