"I suspect the truth is that we are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us." #andthemountainsechoed #khaledhosseini #goodreads #book #holidayreading

Season 3 can't come soon enough.

There's nothing a glass of wine and a good book can't fix.

"For you, a thousand times over."

One of my favorite Humans of New York stories featured in the book - "When my husband was dying, I said: 'Moe, how am I supposed to live without you?' He told me: 'Take the love you have for me and spread it around.'" ❤️

"Here is a small fact: You are going to die." The Book Thief is not just another holocaust story. It is about a young German girl and the people of Nazi Germany who kept their humanity during one of the most horrific times in history. And did I mention that the story is narrated by Death?

Poignant, thought-provoking, inspiring, unforgettable. A story that has left me thinking about life, living, and the choices we make for ourselves. I usually purchase e-books but I loved this one so much I had to get a printed copy, too.

"In love we find out who we want to be, in war we find out who we are."

Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart.

This is the story of two Afghan women who fought for survival amidst the chaos of the civil war and tyranny of the Taliban.

Powerful, harrowing, heartbreaking, but at the same time uplifting. Definitely among the best I have ever read.
