Ilana-Davita: I agree. I have read one book on that list…The Septembers of Shiraz, which was excellent. I will have to add the others to my “wish list”.

I have been wanting to read The Septembers of Shiraz for such a long time! And I have heard so many good things about Sana Krasikov as well, that her book has been on my wishlist for a while as well.
I am going to check out the other books now, which really is such a burden!

Myrthe: The Septembers of Shiraz is excellent, and I highly recommend it.
LOL, on the other books. I can relate.
