It’s time once again to share some amazing videos from Penguin Random House (@penguinrandom) that cover a vast array of topics from kidnapping to terrorism to books and so much more.
I had planned to share an audio review with you today, but this first video just struck a chord with me and I had to share it. I guess it’s my background as a journalist that made this one so moving. Then I decided to share the rest of the videos as well.
To view each of the videos just click on the highlighted link at the end of the caption. There are also links for sharing on Twitter and Facebook.

In 2011, photojournalist Lynsey Addario (author of IT’S WHAT I DO) was kidnapped in Libya and held hostage for six days. Her colleague later took a photo of her abandoned shoe, which spoke to her more than her own photographs. http://bit.ly/2eFzgAh

Thanks for stopping by today. Has a photo ever spoke to you about a certain circumstance or event? If you’re an author, when did you know you were going to be a writer?
Hi Mason - those all look so stimulating and I'd love to look or listen to them all - I'm sure photos do speak to me ... but can't for now think of one specific image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post - with some fascinating looking links ... cheers Hilary
Used her own shoelaces to tie her up. Terrifying. So is using a magazine to recruit terrorists.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting variety of videos, Mason! And they look informative/powerful, too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere is something VERY haunting about that photo. Great videos. I may have to set some time aside to watch them today.
