pickWhen I was reading this I legitimately didn't know much about this game as I don't know much...OK nothing about rugby. At the end of this book I couldn't read fast enough to find out how it was going to end! Another one I highly recommend if you're looking for a solid #nonfiction read.
pickThis #chunkster #nonfictionread should be required reading for all! So much to learn and understand. Whilst there are a few dry moments overall I found this to be a very consuming read. From learning about his childhood all the way through his struggles and arrest and how this touched him after. I learned so much.
I enjoyed watching these geese cross the parking lot because every car patiently waited for them. 🥰
This little bit of joy refills my hope in humanity as I read the tagged book. So much I didn‘t know about Nelson Mandela.
pickIn the first half, I found his personal life more interesting than his work/political life. But the second half really picked up for me. I found his time as a prisoner the most interesting part of the book. He (and the other political prisoners) managed to continue to fight as much as they could from within the prison walls. He really was an amazing man, but sadly his family life suffered for everything he did for the people of South Africa
pickThis is a comprehensive autobiography that covers Mandela‘s life from birth to his presidency of South Africa. I was drawn to this book as I wanted to know more about his incarceration; why he was unjustly confined and how he survived 27 years in custody. My curiosities were satisfied and I gained significantly more knowledge about Mandela and how he fought for human rights and racial equality.

pickA fascinating, detailed book about Mandela‘s struggle for freedom- both personal and political.
I didn‘t know much of his life pre-release from jail really. This helped fill in those gaps.
A man that sacrificed everything (including any chance of a normal family life) to try and make things better for millions of others.

The last couple of days have been a bit topsy-turvy, so I‘ve missed a couple of #NovemberNarrative posts.
This one is an obvious choice for the day 10 prompt #Freedom
