Well, this was an interesting book to read this past week. It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019. Despite that, some interesting big picture points to consider heading into the future.

Argh! I bought this book ages ago, so I definitely don‘t have the receipt any more to return it. From page 5-36 it is all like this! 😱
pick*Not the tagged book* Audible produces a Words + Music series, which allows listeners to consume a brief overview of various music artists. I enjoyed learning about legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma in this Audible Original, Beginner‘s Mind. Yo-Yo Ma immediately had my attention when the audiobook opened with him describing a remote home he and his wife enjoy that is immersed in nature.

pickI‘ve really enjoyed listening to Ollivier‘s books about his walk along the Silk Road over the summer. It‘s a unique look at some of the areas we‘ve been reading about in our challenges over the last few years, and I‘m sad I don‘t have more to read.
Back on track with this beautifully illustrated manga. I read vol. 2 & 3 yesterday, then nabbed vol. 4 and 5. I didn't realize this series was going to focus on multiple stories of different brides, but it centers around a few main characters and their side stories. The artwork is exquisite.

pickI am loving this series from Bernard Ollivier about his treck across the Silk Road. This all happened in the early 2000‘s but I believe the books were only recently translated into English. In this part of the journey he picks up where he left off in Turkey then travels across Iran and Turkmenistan. My favorite parts are when he connects with locals although it is very apparent this is never a trip a woman would be able to make.
I didn‘t think I‘d get my full 2 miles in before what‘s left of Debby hit us. It held off though and there‘s a breeze! Even skipping the Olympics tonight so I can sit outside and enjoy the wind. Enjoying this audiobook as well! I listened to the first in the series last month for #FoodAndLit
pickAfter his wife died Bernard Oliver set out to walk the Silk Road. This trip sounded STRESSFUL. I‘ll definitely read the rest since this book only covered his time in #Turkey. #FoodAndLit
