Ended up near a bookstore while running errands. Did I stop in? Of course! Did I buy books? Is there any doubt? 😆

Excellent companion piece to one of my favourite books.

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 It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019.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.

*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.

Another wonderful op shop find. Written in 1986 after a visit to Pakistan and the Afghan refugee camps there. It was when the Russians were invading Afghanistan. I learnt a lot . Not only about the history but about the author. Before the invasion Afghanistan was on its way to becoming a modern country with a bright future where girls were educated, the various groups got along and the countryside was not the desert it became with the invasion. 👇

Jeg Really nothing has changed for the Afghanis, in fact it is probably far worse. A very interesting read for me. Hope more of her books pop up. She was a woman before her time really. Very much a humanitarian. 9mo

A Bride's Story, Vol. 4 | Kaoru Mori, William Flannigan (Translator)

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.
