From Sahar’s Reviews’ Vault Every once in a while, I read a book that, when finished, leaves me content, happy and wrapped in a warm cocoon of happiness. Sieni A.M.’s debut novel, Illumine Her, was just this kind of book. Capturing me from the very first pages, it took me on a wonderful journey to… Read More Book Review: Illumine Her, by Sieni A.M.
I often write about the importance of building communities in which inhabitants discuss, understand, and appreciate each other’s beliefs, however different they may be (here, here, and here).

The third edition of a round-up of my husband’s book reviews on Sahar’s Reviews is not as much as a round-up as, well, just one review of a book that I also read and enjoyed just as much as he did. Borna rated Monsieur Linh and His Child (by Philippe Claudel) 5 out of 5… Read More Sahar’s Reviews Presents: Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 3
