Sunday Salon: Long Time, No See

I haven’t done a Sunday Salon in a long time. I’m posting this in the wee hours of Sunday morning because I’ll be working from 11am to 10pm this Sunday.

This week, I reviewed one book:

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris – Review

I also joined two new challenges. As always, all challenges and progress can be found on (duh) my challenge page. I joined the Sookie Stackhouse Reading Challenge and the World Citizen 2009 Challenge.

Since my last Sunday Salon, I reviewed several books: The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie, The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani, How to Win a Cosmic War by Reza Aslan, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Heminway, & The Centurion’s Wife by Davis Bunn and Janette Oke.

I also wrote some blogs about non-reading related things, which is what I said I wanted to begin to do with my blog. I discussed the issue of Muslim women and marriage, and the Doha debate on it here. I also discussed my decision to wear hijab, and the issue of working and independence while wearing it, and I addressed the issue of banning the burkha.
