I'll Ask You Three Times, Are You OK?: Tales of Driving and Being Driven by Naomi Shihab Nye


This was another advance reader copy that I got at my conference in June. I love this author's style of writing. I think the description on Amazon really captured the mood of this book:

"Foolhardy missions. Life-altering conversations. Gifts—given and received. Loss. Getting lost. Wisdom delivered before dawn and deep into the night. Love and kissing (not necessarily in that order). Laughter. Rides on the edge. Roses. Ghosts.

As a traveling poet and visiting teacher, Naomi Shihab Nye has spent a considerable amount of time in cars, both driving and being driven. Her observations, stories, encounters, and escapades—and the kernels of truth she gathers from them—are laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving, and unforgettable. Buckle up."

Happy reading! If you read I'll Ask You Three Times, Are You OK?: Tales of Driving and Being Driven, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
