Reading Challenge 2015-February

You can read all about this So little Sleeping and so much Reading challenge here and about the books I read in January.
In Februaty I managed to read only a couple of books (yes indeed only two).
First Naguib Mahfouz' One hour remains (or The Final Hour) in the category of A novel by an African writer. I loved the book. I hope to read more of Mahfouz' books in future.
Although Mahfouz is Egyptian and therefore considered Arab in culture Egypt is in Africa so it was ok.
 I got the book from the library as I didn't have any African books at home.
The photo of the book is taken with hubby's Zimbabwean traditional mask. It is a souvenir he brought from Victoria Falls.

The next book I read was a gift from my dear old friend Dora.
It is Jorge Bucay's The road of spirituality. I enjoyed it. I am not sure I became more spiritual though!
Photographed with a stone that has my A from Ariadne letter on! I always look down when I walk roads!

So little sleeping and so much reading chose some photos again to show in their site.
Among 209 mine is there again too! I guess the mask had something to do with it.
A final word. I had thought I couldn't follow such a challenge but here I am and I am really enjoying it!

Promoting friends' work.

Dear Dawn from the States had sent me this great book some time ago. It is The Sea Glass Rush by anotherof my sea glass friends Bev Jacquemet. You can find Bev at her facebook page if you would like to order the book..

I took my copy of this great book of sea glass photographed by Bev herself to the beach with me at Easter. Here are a couple of photos!

Spot the Old Saybrook cap, that's from Marabeth of course! Thank you ladies!

And here's something else. I had won this T-shirt at a giveaway of the Greek magazine Etsi Apla.It is handpainted by Elia Creations. It is gorgeous!

Thank you Elia!I am wearing it all the time!

Anemolia

One more book I just finished and really liked very very much is Anemolia a book in Greek by Isidoros Zourgos. The author is a teacher in my city and has written quite a few successful novels. I have read a couple and this one was really very good. It talks about the friendship men keep all their life, a life-long relationship with their childhood or school years' friends. It is the story of five men who escape one summer from their respective lives and travel on a boat to reach their dreams....
Anemolia in Homer's language means "words swept by the wind,unnecessary words".

 I managed to return the book to my friend who had lent it to me without even taking a picture, I don't believe it,still I remember that the picture of the boat on the cover had to do something with Dover.
