De knikkers van Qadir by Leo Bormans, Qadir Nadery
3.75
Utterly heartbreaking and sometimes moving. The language is very poetic, and while sometimes beautiful, for me it veered equally often into pompous. Felt a bit repetitive at times. The audiobook is great.
That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America by Amanda Jones
It pains me that I didn't like this more, because I truly empathise with Ms. Jones and definitely agree with her stance against book bannin etc
But this was really terribly written in my opinion: very repetitive both in content and language use. Simplistically written. Many anecdotes that feel unnecessary. I did like the first and last chapter a bit more.
