WWW Wednesdays #27

I deleted over 400 posts; hopefully, it frees up storage. I want to make my images smaller, like the ones I’ve already posted, but I don’t know how, so you can help. Thank you. For the first time in a while, I fear about the post that is scheduled for later on since I’m not confident in my book pick, so as I said, feel free to roast me. I have been sensing a reading slump showing up, so I have been reading more prompt-free, which isn’t great for my team. I think I will submit my last books, which will bring the total to more than 24 books. Although I know that isn’t a wow for me, given everything going on, I’m still proud of it. Plus, I reach my 400 books read, and yes, I doubt I’ll read from my current TBR, but reading from my Kindle and loving it, which is the main goal of reading, right? Sam is currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.

When Nadia Amin, a witty and bighearted PhD, publishes an article on deradicalization, everything changes. The United Nations comes calling with an opportunity to put her theory into practice and lead a rehabilitation program for women caught in the crosshairs of harmful ideology. And why not? Abandoned by her mother and devastated by unrequited love, she leaps at the chance.

In Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she’s in over her head. The UN is a mess of competing interests, and her team consists of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr. But then Nadia meets Sara, a hilarious, foul-mouthed East Londoner who was pulled into radicalism at just fifteen. The two are kindred spirits, and Nadia vows to get Sara home.

As the rehabilitation program picks up traction, Sara reveals a secret that upends everything, forcing Nadia to make a drastic choice. In the fallout, Nadia’s brown-savior fantasies crumble, leaving her to wonder if she can save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.

A fierce, wildly funny, and razor-sharp exploration of radicalism, family, and the quest for belonging, Fundamentally boldly inspects one of the defining controversies of our age and introduces a fearless new voice in contemporary fiction.

  1. I don’t know how to make things smaller. And I may be wrong about this but I think you have to delete them in two places for them to actually go away. Just deleting them won’t make them disappear. But I don’t know how to do the second step. Maybe someone else does.

  2. To make images smaller: if you use the WordPress editor like I do, you can go to the image, and under Block, there’s an option to change the Resolution. Like, from full size, to thumbnail, etc. Maybe that might help?
