National Book Store Read Out Loud Challenge: The Rose & The Dagger

Read Out Loud Challenge accepted! Reading out loud my favorite lines from my favorite book, The Rose & the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh, to spread the love for reading and to support the NBS Foundation.

For every 75 videos posted, National Book Store will help set up one library in a public school until we reach 7,500. Together, let’s promote the love for reading!

Excerpt From: Renée Ahdieh, “The Rose and the Dagger”

“When Shahrzad met his gaze, everything around her melted away. Even the driving rain came to a sudden standstill.
A moment suspended in time. A pair of amber eyes across a balcony.
And there was no more fear. No more worry. No more judgment.
Her knees no longer shook. Her heart steadied in her chest.
In that moment of perfect balance, she understood. This peace? These worries silenced without effort?
It was because they were two parts of a whole. He did not belong to her. And she did not belong to him. It was never about belonging to someone.
It was about belonging together.”
