She tries to ignore everyone so she doesn’t have to deal with the BS – but then a boy takes notice of her. ![]() ![]() Seriously, one day she counts seventeen stupid things people say to her, ranging from calling her “Taliban” to asking if she keeps bombs in her hijab. But one thing that’s constant is the racism and ignorance she deals with on a daily basis, all because she is a hijab-wearing Muslim teenager and the setting of the book takes place shortly after 9/11. I read 40% in one night, another 30% the next morning, and read the rest of the book during any spare moments I could find in the rest of the day. In fact, I loved A Very Large Expanse of Sea so much that I finished it in about 24 hours. I read the book on my kindle back in August, and even though I remember loving it, the audio book made me love it even more. For this trip, I borrowed A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi from my library. That way, if I miss a little of the story as I’m driving, it won’t matter because I’ve already read it before. I know, it doesn’t help me tackle my TBR list, but it works for me. ![]() I like to listen to books I’ve already read. No kid! No kid music! I listened to an audio book, and it was lovely. Last weekend, I had a two and a half hour drive and a car to myself. ![]()
