Last, Current, Next

LAST - CURRENT - NEXT

Happy Saturday!! I hope everyone is set to have a fabulous weekend!

Last - Brides of Rome is the first book in a brand new series that I truly found myself immersed in. There are several strong lead female characters that brought this story and it’s drama to life. I swear I’ll get a review up soon!

Current - I’m almost finished with The Mermaid from Jeju, and it is a story like none other. Talk about a magical post WWII story set on an island off the coast of South Korea during a turbulent time in history. This has been a story of love, loss, strength and redemption. I still can’t get over the author’s way of describing the landscape. It’s felt like I’m right there on the island with the characters.

Crescent City...brace yourselves...are you sitting down?...I’m taking a break from this book, because I cannot get into it.

Next - In the Land of Invisible Women is my #nonfictionnovember read, and I’m looking forward to seeing what I learn.

Synopsis: A strikingly honest look into Islamic culture―in particular women and Islam―and what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women.

Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong.

What she discovers is vastly different. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a world apart, a land of unparalleled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty and love.

And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity.
