Infidel: A horrific story as commentary on racism
Lon Chaney Speaks: A biography without much material to be based on
Lady Mechanika: A gorgeous steampunk story from an independent publisher.

JenlovesJT47 Yay! How was the Lon Chaney one? 13mo
TheAromaofBooks Looking great!!! 13mo
TheSpineView Well done! 13mo

TieDyeDude @JenlovesJT47 Lon Chaney was a gift from @jdiehr . It was good. The author mentions up front that Chaney was very private, so details were embellished. It'd be interesting to learn how much, but it also included fun synopses for his movies, and the illustrations were well done. 13mo
JenlovesJT47 Sounds interesting! I‘ll see if I can get it from the library. I‘m a big fan of Old Hollywood. 13mo

Here are some of my favorite #Paranormal reads. #BookRecommendations #HauntedShelf @PuddleJumper #HexesandCrows @Catsandbooks

1. The Hunger- a retelling of what happened to the Donnor party.
2. The Shining Girls- this paranormal thriller still makes me think about it. Really unique storyline.
3. Infidel- one of the creepiest graphic novels I've ever read!
4. My Soul to Keep- horror and African folklore create an engrossing story.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Addison_Reads 5. One of Us- scary kids with special abilities who start seeking revenge. Need I say more? 😁 14mo
Catsandbooks Terrific! 👏🏼🐦‍⬛🧡 14mo

Ayesha's cousin Hafsa doesn't want to help with the planning of the Muslim conference and asks Ayesha to go in her place just this once... but Ayesha then has to maintain the facade to keep her auntie and uncle from knowing that Hafsa isn't keeping up with her responsibilities. This leads to mistaken identities, friendships based on a lie, and feelings getting hurt.

"And all of a sudden I understood. All of a sudden I got it. Why Rose was in the urn on the Mantlepiece. Why Dad found it too hard to sprinkle her into the sea. Why he gave her cake on birthdays, and why he fastened her seat belt, and why he hung a stocking by the urn on Christmas Eve. It was too hard to let go. He loved her too much to say goodbye."

Five stars. Amazing book.

A teen Syrian refuge is murdered and posed in her mosque in a town beset by racial tension. Inaya, a Muslim-Americans, is part of a special police unit on the case. I really enjoyed the exploration of different facets of this community as well as getting to know Inaya and her family a bit. I definitely look forward to future installments!

“Because while it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Muslim man must be in want of a wife, there‘s an even greater truth: To his Indian mother, his own inclinations are of secondary importance.”
