Will this never ends? I found twenty comments on my spam folder with the usual sites before with the word sexy at the middle of the e-addy. I am guessing this is only one person using different e-mails. I don’t know what they get out of such useless spam comments. Waste of time really. I even noticed that my comments on two blog posts by friends were “liked” by a spammer with the same e-mail address. What do you think?
Equinoxio21, an online friend advised me to bring back the re-blog button by going to “sharing” on “My Site” menu and clicking the “Sharing buttons” and saving it. Voila, the re-blog button appears again. Thank you!
I found another book by one of my favorite authors (aside of course from Mary Oliver, Richard Paul Evans, Khaled Hosseini and many others) Nadia Hashimi. Hashimi is an American doctor, a bestselling novelist and a women’s rights advocate. Her parents are Afghans so she always write about life in Afghanistan. Since I encountered Khaled’s Hosseini’s books years ago, I looked for other Asian authors and found her. I’ve read three of her books before two of which I posted reviews here two years ago. When The Moon Is Low is Goodreads’ Best Book of 2015, I actually wrote short reviews about her first three books that I read. Here’s my take on this: One of the best books I read so far on the 2016 reading challenge. I wonder why I am always drawn to historical novels (I am an old soul) and stories about Afghanistan always make me cry.
The Pearl That Broke Its Shell came second on my reading list although it was her literary debut novel. And I wrote: “A painful but riveting story about what life is like for women in Afghanistan.”The Pearl the Broke Its Shell interweaves the tales of these two women separated by a century who share similar destinies.” Here’s a lovely quote from that book.
“Life has typhoons. They come and turn everything upside down. But you still have to stand up because the next storm may be around the corner”.
The third book is entitled One Half From The East. I am reading the fourth book now. Just like the first three books, this one looks so good. A House Without Windows is a haunting story about friendship and the plight of women in Afghanistan.
If only I could find her other book which I think is the newest so far. When you find such gifted authors, you always look forward to what they write about.
Yes, I remember another author, Khaled Hosseini, Afghan born and also a doctor. His memorable book, The Kite Runner was adapted into film which Nissa and I watched years ago. We cried inside the cinema.
