When I made a commitment to read 13 books between now and November 2012, what I was really trying to do was make myself to someone Mrs. Babes the followers of my blog. You see, I have been a member of Nairobi Book Club since its inception in 2008 and I only remember completing 5 of the 40 or so books that we have read. This, if I may say so myself, is despicable, and the reason why reading 13 books is a goal for my last year as a youngin. 🙂
This month’s book was Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza. I’m not a fan of autobiographies, but I enjoyed this one. It didn’t have too much suspense, but whenever she threw it into her story, she did it well. It is a gruelling tale, and for me, a stark reality check about the power of words.
Our discussion was held in Westlands on Friday and I was lost for a good 40 minutes. At one point, I called the hostess almost in tears about the fact that I couldn’t figure out maps, instructions or directions! However, I did make it to her house and I enjoyed the meal, the camaraderie and the discussion.
I thank God for:
My Sports Car,My Vitz,Steph- Fuel
- Getting lost on a rainy night and celebrating God’s faithfulness thereafter.
I had this CD in my car, but this song was not playing. If it had been, I know I would have been less frustrated. Love the video, love the drums, and luuuuurv the lyrics:
Happy Monday, Everybody!
