@Eggs & @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Hope you both had great weekends!

"She's the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own"
While most fear her, Sankofa will use her "power" for good. Ending the life of a man riddled with cancer, is her being merciful, and his wife and children are thankful.?

Still feel bad and ugly cry bad. Hassan. Kind, sweet Hassan.😭

Cazxxx One of my all time favourite books 💜 4y
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 I think I read this a long time ago. Or maybe I‘m just remembering my mom reading it. One of my clearest memories of childhood, is noticing the covers of the novels my mom read and hearing here tell me the (very simplified) summary of the story. In any case, I‘d love to read it, whether it‘s the first or second time. 4y

mavey @Cazxxx Yes!💗 4y
mavey @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 Do try it along with Hosseini's other book, A Thousand Splendid Suns! Both stories are beautifully crafted with mesmerizing world building, many quotable moments and characters that you will fall in love with, come to care for so much and cry even more over! Hope you love them!💕💕 4y

@Eggs

Even when he becomes a vampire, Louis tries his best to be always #merciful with other human beings.
His pain and his eternal struggle between his new nature and his human soul are clearly exposed more in the book than in the movie.

Day 16

Eggs 👏🏻📚 🧛‍♀️ ❤️ 4y
persephone1408 When I read this book (which is still my favorite book) I hated Lestat, because Louis did. It wasn't until I read the vampire Lestat that I fell in love with him. Brad was perfect as my Louis! (Perfectly beautiful) 4y
Ast_Arslan @persephone1408 I agree with you about Brad as a perfect Louis, but I have to admit that I barely stand the bookish Louis 😂 Lestat stole my heart from his first appareance 😂❤ 4y

NF-True stories of the personal and work lives of PanAm stewardesses. Their mercy and grace was tested during Vietnam wartime flying both new and returning soldiers; but especially in caring for flights full of orphans airlifted from Saigon who were hungry, wounded, and bereft.

I hadn‘t been participating with #MayCharacters, but I just saw the prompt #merciful and had to share. If you‘ve read this one, you‘ll know that this line can make you shudder.

Am I Not Merciful?

Eggs Beautifully done ✅📚👏🏻👍🏼 4y

Day 16: If I remember correctly, Poirot is #merciful in the tagged book.

Eggs I believe it‘s his hallmark! 4y
Ruthiella Yes, he shows great compassion at the end, even though it goes against his instinct for justice. 4y

#MayCharacters Day 16: We need to be #merciful to our lost souls. This story made me think about the things that we value, how they define us, and the ever-pressing need to just sit still every once in awhile – maybe not for years at a time similar to John in this story – but enough for us to catch our breath, and for our lost souls to reunite with us. My review of Tokarczuk‘s first picturebook here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-niU

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I agree ❤️ 4y
Nute I like how you put it, Ms. Myra! 4y
