Growing Up X and Green Deen

I've finally finished Green Deen. The last two chapters were called Water and Food. These are really good chapters and I'd like to cover them but I really want someone else to discuss them with so until I find at least one more reader I'm going to take a break. As for Growing Up X my library still doesn't have it so I intend to buy it this month. Insha Allah someone will pick one of these books up and join me because frankly I'm feeling a bit bored reading alone in this so-called book club.

  1. Alhumdullilah my library got Growing Up X today from an interlibrary loan. Let the reading begin!

  2. Oh, Aisha -- I'd be reading these with you in no time...except for school. I can't allow myself to be distracted by lovely, wonderful books when I have to read Texts. :(

    Let me know what's on the list for summer time. I'm planning on reading "The Marvels of the Heart" by Al-Ghazali -- Can't wait for this one, I've heard it's awesome.

    I'd also like to read Purification of the heart by Hamza Yousef - but it seems it's impossible to find in stores. :(

  6. Just finished the first chapter. Never knew there was a statue of Malcolm X. That's sad news to hear. I'm sure he wouldn't like that at all.
