Welcome to Litsy!

I think it irreverent to rate a book of such a horrific experience. It should be read no matter the writing because it happened to real people and her story should be shared. This is an example of fact being stranger than fiction. Children wanted to die, attempted suicide because they were imprisoned. It is beyond my imagination how this family survived and overcame torture and hunger because of their courage and humor. I admire their fight.

I thought there were limits to human suffering. At Bir-Jdid, I was to discover that there were none.

This book has me in rage.

My attempt at Tangier-Style Fried Chicken and couscous.

Do you ever unhaul any of your unread books? How do you go about choosing the books?

I read a small portion of each of these books in an effort to begin the unhaul process. It ended up being easier than I‘d expected. I‘m going to continue to go through my stacks using this method since it definitely worked for me! If you want to know which ones made the cut, check out my latest BookTube video. https://youtu.be/BepW6SYLAGU

Captivating. If you like Ingrid Betancourt's Even Silence Has an End I think you will like this one too.

It's so cloudy today, I had a hard time finding enough light for black spines @Aninski Welcome to my kitchen. 😂

It's so dark, I'd love to see some bright, colourful stacks. I'm going to try find some people who haven't been tagged yet. @candority @AmandaL @Brie If you would like to join in the fun, I'd love to see some bright stacks today. #BookColorTag

A book that stays with you for years. An amazing true story of perseverance while living through one tragedy after another. Truly a remarkable story. Didn't just like ... Loved it!
