A House in the Sky: A Memoir | Amanda Lindhout, Sara Corbett

“It is an obvious fact that you can never look ahead with clarity at your own future or anybody else's. You can't know what will happen until it happens. Or maybe it dawns on you the split second before, when you get a glimpse of your own fate.”

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I absolutely loved flipping through this cookbook that covered several African countries. The photography was lovely and the stories of the women featured were life giving. All of the food looked great but I am most excited to try Rum with Berry Soda from Mozambique, Shaah Cadays (chai) from Somalia, and Chakalaka & Cheddar Braaibroodjies (grilled cheese) from S Africa. #LMPBC will mail this week!

mabell I saved the shaah cadays recipe too! 14mo

A vibrant, lovely book about culture, food, and family. It features a selection of fulfilled women sharing what is special to them and how they describe their place in the world.
I saved quite a few recipes to try - they are all very approachable!

This book perfectly shows the importance of hearing both sides of a story. The book is about a father and son taken by pirates off the coast of Somalia. Not only do you get the perspective of the hostage but of the hostage taker and other people who are affected by the actions. This is a book of survival, one that shows that there aren't really villains, just victims doing their best to protect their families.
