From time to time I'm going to create a post with at least 2 articles, books, songs, etc. whose content is in some way linked.
They will usually provide opportunities for reading, learning and maybe a little entertainment.
Today's idea comes from the article on my internet homepage- cnn. More than anything, human interest stories are the articles I enjoy reading and today's article is just that.
READ the story of the 10 year old girl in Yemin (insert Chandler/Janice/Friends jokes here) who was married off before American kids can even do long division.
I hope this story has not become standard for you. Release your immunity to this type of story and check it out.
The LINK I'm creating for this story is the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns- by the author of Kite Runner. I finished it a few weeks ago and cannot deduce if I like it more or less than Kite Runner because they're just different from one another. Suns holds the same backdrop as Runner, but it's characters are mostly female and the story creates a great intertwining of characters that may or may not slightly be expected.
Read both pieces for more knowledge on the women, problems and sometimes unexpected beauty and love of the Middle East.
I don't love alcohol this much, but that drink rocked

Blue Moon- sing the song if you wish.

Yay for links and suggestions! that is so interesting that you would post that, cause I (gasp) was watching the WE network that we love so dearly and a "secret lives of women" came on that was about "child brides". It was awful, yet fascinating. Couldnt stop watching!
