My vacation packing. I have a new audiobook downloaded and I'm taking my ereader. I still worry about not having enough ... or the right books... or something. No clothes packed yet...
I indulged myself with a solo trip to the cinema this morning to see The United Kingdom. Now I MUST learn more about Botswana and the legacy of Seretse and Ruth Khama. Time for a trip to the library to get this book the film is based on.
Ordered this from library this moring after watching the trailer for the movie United Kingdom, that it's based on.
pickSeretse and Ruth Khama were such inspiring people. I loved how they loved each other and their marriage was strong despite how people / governments tries to keep them apart. We've come a long way in matters of racial discrimination but we still have a long way to go. This couple is a shining example of how the world should be.
So relevant to today.
Lazy Saturday morning and I've just started this book. I was gripped from the first page. This is my favourite kind of non-fiction; it's about people and it reads like a story. I also love a love story where two people stick their fingers up at societal convention and alienate everyone around them so that they can be together. This couple!! 😍💘👍👏
