Dark Places: A Novel | Gillian Flynn
post image
Pickpick

Sent to me by a fellow #BookCrossing member, this thriller follows the investigations of a woman who tries to figure out what happened the night her mother and sisters were murdered by her brother. It was a very disturbing novel to read but at the same time, I had a hard time putting it down!

Librarybelle Hard to put down - a hall mark of a good book! I‘m not sure if I am brave enough to read any of Flynn‘s books! 1y

14 Cows for America | Carmen Agra Deedy

Pickpick

Trying to catch up on some reviews. I read this a few weeks ago for #foodandlit #kenya. Recommended by @TheBookHippie , it is a heartwarming, true story of a Masai village who bestows a gift of fourteen cows to the American people,grieving the September 11 attacks. Beautiful illustrations. It is a children‘s picture book, but this adult found it very moving.
“To the Masai, the cow is life.” #readingafrica #kenya

DivineDiana @thebookhippie And I never would have found it without you! I returned it to the Library yesterday, and shared it with a Librarian who had not heard of it. As it turned out, she had worked in Kenya while in college and had visited a Masai village. She immediately checked it out! She plans to share with her sisters this weekend who also visited Kenya! Thank you so much! ❤️ 1y
DivineDiana @thetexreader It is! ❤️ 1y

Daisy Dalrymple stumbles into yet another murder (she could probably give Jessica Fletcher a run for her money…maybe someone not to invite to a dinner party, should you not wish someone on your guest list to be found murdered). I enjoyed this one more than the last one - murder in a Grotto with rich suspects and lots of secrets. Fun mystery that works well on audio. #19822022 #2009

Maria514626 Thanks for the recommendation! I‘ve been looking for a good, light audio read. 🎉 2y
Librarybelle @Maria514626 You‘re welcome! 2y
DaveGreen7777 “(she could probably give Jessica Fletcher a run for her money…maybe someone not to invite to a dinner party, should you not wish someone on your guest list to be found murdered)” - Hee hee, that literally made me laugh out loud! 😂 2y
Librarybelle @DaveGreen7777 It‘s so true! 😂 Poor Daisy…anywhere she goes murder follows… 2y

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind | William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer
post image
Pickpick

This is the impressive and admirable story of a boy in #Malawi who, despite famine, hunger and a lack of education manages to invent windmills and electricity for his village. When he has been “discovered” by the world and becomes a protégé of international sponsors it is touching to see how he learns about the internet and elevators and all those things he grew up without.

Suet624 I remember reading a children‘s book to my grandson about him. 2y
BennettBookworm I was fortunate enough to hear Kamkwamba speak in person! I love this book and the children‘s book, as well! 2y

BarbaraBB @BennettBookworm That is awesome, he seems such a kind boy. I read a young readers edition (accidentally) but I don‘t think this is a children‘s book. The parts about physics were still hard for me 😊 2y
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain The first months are always the easiest- as you know 😉😘 2y
Librarybelle That photo! ❤️❤️❤️ 2y
Cinfhen Stunning photo and great use of challenge prompts!! I have this one for #Malawi too (edited) 2y
bibliothecarivs Was pleased to meet Kamkwambe a few years ago when he spoke at our local university. 2y
BarbaraBB @bibliothecarivs I can imagine, he seems like a real kind and intelligent man. 2y

In his mind, Montalbano took two strokes and swam back to shore."

I enjoyed reading this mystery about missing vintage wine. I was actually a little bit familiar with some of the wines from having read In Vino Duplicitas, about Rudy Kurniawan and the biggest con in wine history. #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #2009
