We share what books that we found in our mailboxes last week.
The Pri
vate Papers of Eastern Jewel by Maureen LindleyI fell in love with the cover and the synopsis of this story grabbed me. Based on a true story of a rebellious woman who earned a controversial place in history. This book is a vibrant reimagining of a thrilling life--a historical epic of palace intrigue, sexual manipulation, and international espionage. Sounds thrilling!!

A Map of H
ome by Randa Jarrar“Jarrar's sparkling debut about an audacious Muslim girl growing up in Kuwait, Egypt and Texas is intimate, perceptive and very, very funny…Jarrar explores familiar adolescent ground–stifling parental expectations, precarious friendships, sensuality and first love–but her exhilarating voice and flawless timing make this a standout.”
I thought this sounded very interesting!!!
