Sabrine Jartouh A Little Life Book Tunisia

I read this book months ago and I couldn't neither talk about it on social media as planned since I started it; nor write a review on Pensées Sabrininennes. I know why, and I do not know why at the same time. Try to understand, trust me you won't! 

You know when you have all of your emotions all over the place, and you do not know how to exactly categorize them. Are you angry? Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you devastated? Are you depressed? Well, I kind of went through the same confusion.

With this book, I could travel through a whole spectrum of feelings, go from lowest to highest, and let hundreds of tears down my eyes while I was just sitting calmly and reading a book. How was that possible? Well, I figured out that all I had to do, was to open A Little Life and start to read.            

I have been dragged so low by this book that I do not remember where was I before I started reading it.

I will not talk about the story itself because why would I when you can find all the info and synopsis on the internet? 

What I would like to share through this blog is the details of your journey if you read this book. 

Jude's character is very complex to study yet very easy to predict. This type of personality fights life to death, literally! This book will make you connect to all the characters to be able to go through the whole story but it will make you stronger and will also make you learn how to disconnect from strong and extremely harsh feelings. 

If you are a sensitive reader and your imagination is vast, you will suffer during some scenes that were drawn out of the darkest places on earth. Indeed, you will feel that you are in the same room as the victim, watching all of the atrocities he is going through and you cannot do anything to help him. 

You will be very knowledgeable about all the aspects of Jude's personality yet, discover something new each time you feel that you know it all. 

Social Media made me read this book as everyone is promoting it on their profiles and I do blame them! 

I mean, the publicity was done so well that I could not resist not knowing what is it all about. 

I cannot recommend this book in the sense that it will trigger many traumas you might have whether you are conscious about them or you will discover them through Hanya's words. 

Now that I know, can I come back to not knowing?

56. Podcasts you will love

Working out?  All of the above activities are always, and mainly accompanied by my list of saved podcasts.  I do enjoy listening to them because they keep me focused on what my hands and the rest of my body are doing (magical !) When I was a student, I took part in a radio show where I used to talk about the Tunisian culture and its different aspects in a Moroccan university, and it was fun!  Since then, I started enjoying listening to the voices without putting any faces on, and it's amazing.  Only a few senses are engaged in this process.  I was lucky to find some recommended podcasts from my friends, random internet users found on Google, automatic suggestions based on my search history and word-of-mouth.  Through this blog entry, I would like to do the same and share some of the shortlisted podcasts, for whom it might interest:  1.

49. Nos fiançailles: tout, lui et moi

Image
Aujourd'hui, en recevant les photos de nos fiançailles, je parcours les différents albums et je me remémore tous les moments vécus, les blagues racontées, les taquineries partagées et les émotions dégagées pendant cette soirée charmante. Un peu plus de 5 mois de préparatifs, commémorés par cette cérémonie regroupant famille, ami-e-s et collègues. Cela a commencé par le choix de la date, le choix de la bague et les accessoires, ensuite la conception des robes, la sélection des fournisseurs, les profondes recherches, et les heures passées sur Excel pour centraliser toutes ces informations. Ce fut un grand projet dont les fiançailles étaient la cérémonie de clôture (une blague à ne pas faire au bureau!)  Les jours précédant l'événement, on ne parlait que de ça. A table, par messages, pendant les weekends et même pendant les pauses au bureau, la cérémonie des fiançailles était toujours la star des discussions. Pas une seule robe, mais deux!  Ma tante Meryem a toujours été la stylis

55. Retenez bien le nom de Wijden Zammit

Wijden Zammit est une jeune femme Tunisienne, ayant eu sa licence en chimie en 2012 (étonnant non ?!), elle s'est rendu compte que ce n'est absolument pas ce qu'elle voulait faire tous les jours pour gagner sa vie.  Après avoir écouté son instinct, et puisé dans ses pensées les plus profondes, elle a décidé de se lancer dans le monde du stylisme en s'inscrivant dans un cycle de formation pour peaufiner ses talents d'artisane. Wijden a cru dur comme fer que c'est là où elle se voyait épanouie et productive et elle a modelé sa marque, alors qu'elle était encore sur les bancs du centre de formation.  Comme tout entrepreneur, Wijden était apeurée au début de son voyage artistique : "aurai-je des client-e-s? aimeront-ils/elles mes produits ? serai-je à la hauteur de leurs attentes?"  C'est bel et bien grâce à sa volonté et son courage extraordinaires que Wijden a vaincu toutes ses interrogations et s'est lancée dans la réalisation de son projet.
