These past 2 days i have been in the mood to just read and it feels great. Reading for hours and into the night is soothing my tired body and soul right now to the point where i am very antisocial at the moment 😆

pickA deeply moving story of endurance. I couldn‘t put it down. An uncomfortable and heart-breaking read that is a reminder of how strong love can be.
I read this as a love story. A love between separated childhood sweethearts; a love between two unlikely friends; and the love of a homeland. A Thousand Splendid Suns is powerful prose.
pickWhat a grest book! It was heartbreaking and made me so so thankful for being able to grow up and live in a safe country with basic human (female) rights 🙏🏼 the story follows two woman through their hardships, forced marriages, brutality, loss of rights and wars. 5/5⭐️
Re-reading this series I read when I was younger.. such a heart wrenching story through so many hardships, but definitely a good read!
pickInteresting story of a family in Kabul. I was especially intrigued by the different layers of the family. It was interesting to see a more personal look into daily life in Afghanistan. The book came out in 2002 so it is fairly old now, but I doubt life has changed a whole lot there.

pickI've read many books focusing and educating us (quite rightly) on the traumas, restrictions and hostilities towards females under the Taliban rule. But what if you are an educated man that wants to hear his wife's laughter? Would love to walk beside her on the streets? Wants to see her face under the glow of the sun?
Here we see two marriages trying to hold onto humanity in a place where pleasure is a sin.
This book packs a punch.
Though there had been moments of beauty in it, Mariam knew that life for the most part had been unkind to her.

pickIt was a really good book! I strongly recommend reading it. It‘s a little boring at the beginning but the end was sooooo good.
