Ala’s comments from the Libyan Readers group.

Hi Fei! My girlfriends and I in San Francisco have a book club we're now running virtually. If you'd like to join let me know we read all types of genres. :)

I've been reading a lot of biographies and memoirs lately. Anyone have recommendations of some good ones?

Reading educated by Tara Weston (?) so good!

Reading sharp objects by Gillian Flynn. I realize this is the first book I've picked up in weeks....

Anyone read Rupi Kaur?

No ones posted on this thread for a while so I'll break the silence. Everyone MUST READ Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. It's amazing. That's all.

I just finished a light read. I'm looking for something a bit more eye opening right now. Any suggestions on books?

Ramadan Kareem y'all hope you're taking a break from the books and reading our holy Quran. :) xoxo

I'm in the middle of reading the book of negroes and I absolutely love it! I Was wondering if anyone else read a good book they recommend?

I definitely have to read that one too. How is it so far?

I loved Jane Austen's pride and prejudice sometimes it's hard to really get into a novel.

I'm struggling to finish Anna Karenina which I only want to finish because I really wanna watch the film adaptation.
