February Book Club Choice- a reminder

I hope everyone is enjoying Green Deen (anyone?) :) Next month's book choice is Growing Up X.  Insha Allah some of you will join me in reading this book by Malcolm X's daughter. (He had 6). February is Black History Month so this title fits in nicely with that. Can't afford another book? Ask your library to order it. Its good for you and others get to read great titles too.

    Salam Alaykom,

    Mashallah this sounds really good. I know I won't have any time for a book but inshallah I will if I can pick this up for future reading or I will wait for your review/s. She would be Muslim, inshallah?

    Salam Alaykom,

    I was just looking up the book and found it on Amazon. It has a preview of the few of the pages. Mashallah she is Muslim and I really want to read this now.

    Here is the link > http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-X-Ilyasah-Shabazz/dp/0345444965/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295703693&sr=8-1

    Click on the title page and a preview will pop up. The original page also has reviews and it seems highly rated so I guess this will be a good book for you readers out there ;).

    Wa alaikum salaam

    I didn't put the amazon link because someone pointed out to me that amazon is selling a pedophile book and won't stop so I boycotted them.

    Yes as far as I know all of Malcolm X's daughters are still muslim. Insha Allah you will join us in the book club next month.

    Really? what book is that? how could they?
    Is it in support of Paedophillia or a person who is a paedophile?

    I have my wishlist up on amazon so maybe taking it down if it's true.

    I just looked it up and it doesn't have the listing anymore. Ppl were saying that is was a lure to see who would download/buy it.....allahu alem!
