Grabbing a few minutes to post customer feedback on two books -- thanks Linda and Gunnel!
"American Dervish” by Ayad Akhtar.
"...The book is spell binding and so touching. It also is a fascinating introduction to the Muslim faith, and the author paints a portrait of all the followers’ different take on their religion that is stunning. The various ways, including the anger at religion, are the same as in all faiths and I wish this book would be required reading in every community country-wide.
How the author manages to keep the main character in the reader’s grace after the many dastardly things he does, is sheer genius – he really gets one to see how utterly thoughtless one is growing up, and yet so involved in finding Truth and Faith."
"The Winter Ghosts" by Kate Mosse
"...an enjoyable summer read, however I would have enjoyed it more if the title and blurb on the back cover didn't give away the plot (a decidedly annoying spoiler that caused me, as a reader, to be less engrossed with the plot).

This was my first experience with Kate Mosse and will likely read Labyrinth as a result of reading this one. If your reader base is devoted to Kate Mosse I would recommend including it in your store."
