This book was written by the creator of Little Mosque on the prairie. Her memoir is about growing up Canadian and Muslim. It is gentle and witty and humorous, with no disrespect meant towards her faith.

The story of a young Hasidic Jewish girl, daughter of a Rabbi, who secretly reads secular books and longs to explore life outside her community. Later I learned the book is loosely based on the author‘s real life. Great book

Camino Winds | John Grisham
Pickpick

A bookseller in Florida becomes involved in helping solve the murder of one of his friends . The murder took place during a major hurricane,made to look like the victim‘s death was the result of that hurricane I found it slow at first but it picked up and became intriguing. It‘s a sequel to Grisham‘s Camino Islands
