Hello All! We're doing an open read for MENA/SWANA nonfiction reads. Anyone reading something you want to share? I haven't started mine yet, but I plan to read If the Oceans Were Ink: An Unlikely Friendship and a Journey to the Heart of the Quran.

Jalilah | 918 comments Looks interesting but I don’t have time to read it now.
In a few weeks I am hoping to read Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History for the challenge, so if anyone else wants to read it that would be great!
