Saturday Photo: Flowers in Winter
My big jade plant doesn't bloom every year, but when it does, it is lovely. So nice to have flowers when it is icy outside.Read more of this blog post »

This book is nearly 20 years old but it has much to say regarding current politics in Algeria and Tunisia. Charrad's focus is on women, their legal protections, and their problems in these countries plus Morocco: it's a book that would have been a us

Road Through Time: The Story of Humanity on the Move
"
So glad you liked the book. The chapter on the US and Canada seem particularly relevant as Donald Trump talks about making Canada the 51st state.

"A delightful stroke of serendipity. I loved the minimalist prose and the profound one-liners. In just 164 pages, the author skillfully guides readers to unravel layers between the lines. It's like looking at life through a kaleidoscope—a perfect blen"

“A rise in sea level is not like the filling of your bathtub. If it were, accommodation would be easier and could be accomplished in slow steps that might give people the time to figure out the best way to cope. No, while a barely noticeable rise in water levels continues in the background, the great damage that is done comes more suddenly, when storms whip up waves that magnify high tides, engulfing houses and encampments, eroding cliffs, breaching sandbars, and pushing salt water up rivers and into groundwater.”

Hello, Mary! Thank you for contacting me! Congratulations on your books! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
Thanks for your friend request. I'm happy to accept. Your review of Farewell, Babylon: Coming of Age in Jewish Baghdad was very informative. I recently read a long review of several such books and also ordered Baghdad, Yesterday: The Making of an Arab Jew and Life After Baghdad: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew in Israel, 1950�2000. At first I was going to stop there until I saw your review (and since Amazon Marketplace had them used!).
