A few ladies from my running club also enjoy reading. ‘Sip & Swop’, a monthly book club was born, and we had our first get together in January. The idea is to bring a book that you really enjoyed reading and swop it out for one of the other ladies’ books. I jumped at the opportunity to join in and read different genres.
The Elephant Whisperer
by Lawrence Anthony landed in front of me. I am not a fan of animal books, television
shows or movies. Growing up with Walt Disney animal movies has ruined my trust in animal stories. But, I thought to myself, and reminded myself, that the point of joining
the book club was to get out of my comfort zone and read different books.
Reluctantly, I started
my journey with the elephants.
Oh man, what a magical
journey!! Every morning I read for 30 minutes as part of my morning routine, and for the past month, it has
felt as if I have started my morning in the bush. [I will reluctantly move away
from the sea, but, I must admit that I dearly miss the bushveld].
What a talented writer. The journey of the elephants have been captured so beautifully. Initially being reluctant to start the book, by the end I was reluctant to put it down! I have learnt so much about elephants.
Definitely highly recommendable.
