Running the Rift

Running the Rift: A Novel | Naomi Benaron

so-so

As somebody that doesn't know much about the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi conflict in the 1990s in Rwanda, this was really interesting to read about and learn. As a former runner, I also enjoyed the running parts of the story telling. Nevertheless, I felt the story fell somewhat flat and really uneven from part to part.

Cinfhen I love all of your choices...I‘m marking some in my notebook for reference 💡thanks for sharing @mhillis if you have a GoodReads account you can join our group for more ideas 6y

mhillis @Cinfhen Thank you! I joined the goodreads group but I don‘t know how to tag books on there so I thought I‘d post here first😂😂 It was really interesting choosing books and I‘m looking forward to starting these next month😍📚 6y

Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage can probably explain very easily how to tag books..I can do it but only from my desktop not through the app 😬 6y

Cinfhen I‘m also excited for January 1.... 6y

alisiakae You have some great choices! I also plan on reading Homegoing next year, probably for the same prompt. 6y

mhillis @4thhouseontheleft Thanks! I can‘t believe I didn‘t get to it this year but this will be a good chance to read it 6y

mhillis @Cinfhen ok that explains why I couldn‘t figure it out then! I‘ll have to try on the website 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @mhillis Hi - love your choices! Tagging books in GR is easy. At the top right of the the box where you enter text. Yes, it only works in a browser. Grrr. You just click “add book/author,” then search and add. Not too hard. Still, it‘s nice to share here also! 6y

Cinfhen Would you be ok if we reposted your list of book selections on Litsy?!? Thanks 🙏🏻 6y

mhillis @Cinfhen No problem👍 6y

mhillis @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! I‘ll post in the Goodreads group😊 6y

Cinfhen That's great, thanks 💟 6y

mhillis @Wbabdullah Here is the graphic for #booked2018 Just choose books you would like to read that fit the themes and use the tag! It looks like there is a lot of good reading ahead! 6y

Wbabdullah Thank you @mhillis !! 6y

I loved this book! The author perfectly melded true events from the Rwandan genocide with the protagonist's personal experience during that time period. I highly recommend this one!
