I am almost finished with "I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced" which is an unbelievable story of a 10 year old girl from Yemen who was granted a divorce after she was forced into an unlawful marriage. We are reading it for book club and I am looking forward to our discussion about it tomorrow.
I am obviously horrified by the subject matter, but I think being oblivious is sometimes worse than being intolerant. I am hoping to learn more about how I could potentially get involved on the activism side.
Anyway, it is a quick read and it is well worth it. My eyes have been opened. I would strongly recommend it to others!
Onto dinner ...
So - I think cooking is good for the soul.
Seriously - I realize spaghetti is not rocket science, but it felt good to actually be cooking something that resembled a meal again. And eating it on on glass plates! With Bruce! Not in my office!
I used jarred sauce, but seasoned it with tons of sea salt, pepper, basil, minced onion and garlic powder. So much flavor!
+ Garlic Bread.
Carb-Overload.
Alright, I'm going to wind down for the night.

Anyone else in a book club? I started a summer women's book club at the church and we're going to make it a permanent thing! It's been fun to get a different type of reading in.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I'm reserving it as we speak... :)
ReplyDeleteWOW. That book looks amazing. I am currently reading The Help. I want to read this next, though!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of that book.
ReplyDeleteI'm in a book club. I love it. Basically reading has become our excuse to get together once a month and laugh and have a great time. We always joke that it's a half hour of book talk (if even!) and then the rest is talk about whatever we want to talk about. :)
Let me know how you like it Colleen!
