Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1437 comments My challenge for 2023 is to read 53 books. I read a lot more than that each year, so it's not a very ambitious goal. But I want to take my time, savor the books I read, and perhaps do more of my own writing.

1/53. Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe by Diana Darke.
