November’s Books in 25 Words

Summarising in 25 words what was most noteworthy to me from the books I finished this month.

I Am Malala, Young Reader’s Edition: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World – Malala Yousafzai and Patricia McCormick

This young reader’s edition was a quick read for me. I loved reading the story in Malala’s voice. A brave and inspirational girl/young woman.

The Anomaly – Hervé Le Tellier

It was a fascinating concept, and I enjoyed how it jumped between different characters’ stories. Ultimately though, I found the resolution a bit flat.

Coming Home: Discipleship, Ecology and Everyday Economics – Jonathan Cornford

Connecting theology and our everyday home life. With biblical exposition and lots of practical possible actions. Gentle encouragement that acknowledges each person’s context is different.
