Just Quotes (Pt. 2)

— From Dayo, as she experiences and learns. Welcome to The Mind Palace!

This story sounds way better in my head on the newsletter because it starts off with a bang. Just saying.

Nonetheless, this is me trying to convince you to read some good books with a few lines. Obviously, this is an effective way to sell a book to you so yalla, laa? 🫠:

“If you’re going to risk your life, it has to be on your own will. The living can’t survive with promises to the dead.”

Of course, the fine reason my Arabic vocabulary is expanding, and now why yours is too :)

You: Shukran

Me: Afwan

A Thousand Splendid Suns

“Mariam saw now the sacrifices a mother made. Decency was but one.”

I mean, this one deserved all the awards it won and you will hate Rasheed (obviously assuming you will in fact read it).

An Atlas of Extinct Countries

“Note: if your plan involves the British coming to your rescue at any point, then it is a Bad Plan. Can’t emphasize this enough.”

I had a good laugh, don’t be a downer.

That’s it. I’m trying to convince you not bore you.

Bye now, Habibi

Till next week🫠
