I got a bit stuck on this prompt but I thought of these two books with characters who have spent time in Syria & the Middle East-likely places for sandstorms. In the first book it's a war correspondent involved in a traumatic event there & the tagged book has a Syrian national, living in the U.S. who goes back to Syria to see his dying father & is detained & put in the army, gets 'traded' & eventually ends up in Guantanamo.

The 2nd book in the Songs Of The Shattered Sands series. Not all fantasy novels have great lakes, forests and mountains and these books are a fantastic read if you're looking for a more exotic locale.

Cos she's on a beach, and her life's been quite stormy.....cut me some slack, I travelled to Northampton to watch Oldham get relegated yesterday and drank twice my own body weight in wine and vodka to drown my considerable sorrows and I didn't get up til 6pm and I'm in the pub retoxing. @Cinfhen @eanderson

This is the first thing that came to mind for a #Sandstorm.

The aviator crashes in a #sandstorm in the Sahara where he is introduced to the world of le petit prince. I adored this when we read it in French class and have returned to it many times. #male #litsyclassics #getmovin

All three of these books are set in, what I imagine to be, desert landscapes, which I think must mean the citizens get hit by a #sandstorm at times.

I don‘t know, I‘m grasping at straws here 🤷‍♀️😅

#GetMovin #day6 #Sandstorm I‘m a huge Star Wars fan, I really need to add to my props but they‘re so expensive when TM! In this biography of Lucas, they talk about how a huge sandstorm ruined props from The Phantom Menace & how their filming of the desert scenes of Tatooine were destroyed by a freak rainstorm. In a desert. I have no idea how he managed to get through these movies without having a heart attack honestly!

I picked this book to grab Oman on an around world challenge and really enjoyed it as a young woman goes to Oman in 1950's to revisit the life of a pioneering woman explorer who had been first person to cross the Sahara desert. Lots of passion and sandstorms and a really good read.

Have not read it, but this seems a strange novel, about a man imprisoned in a pit of sand, after he accepted the villagers‘ hospitality to stay overnight in their village. The book was adapted for a Cannes festival award-winning film in 1964.
