This is a slow burn. It's about a Palestinian family living in the US and the narrator is unusual. She has blue skin for whatever reason. There's a lot of symbolism and I may not have picked up on all of it.

This poetry collection is Fady Joudah's first, which won the 2007 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. Louise Glück chose his collection and also wrote the forward of this book. Joudah transports you to another world with this collection, and I could not put it down. Amazing work by an Arab author! 📚 🌱

Here to stay is a great novel, especially for sport loving young adults. It is filled with drama and a little bit of romance.

Read this for the #pop21 #muslimamerican author. Cute story about sibling rivalry and the challenges of being the oldest sibling. 😃

A foodie memoir that reads like a novel about growing up between cultures with lots of extended family plus Middle Eastern recipes. I especially love the way Abu-Jaber depicts childhood and how naturally recipes become part of the story. I‘m excited to try making some!

I do enjoy YA sports stories. Set at a contemporary private school, basketball is the sport and young Bijan Majidi is its rising star - despite the cyber bullying he‘s faced with (portraying him as a terrorist) on social media and school newspaper...

A good read for those who want to hear from Arab Americans - their backgrounds and experiences, some harrowing, all rooted deeply in love and community. Surprising to my non-Arab self at times.

I really don‘t think I‘d enjoy this story. I don‘t think there is much of a story to follow in this book.
