Moving! I have to sell it because most of my books are boxed.

Moving. Found on a hidden shelf in my closet and since most books are in boxes, I have to sell this one. A great play on Pride and Prejudice. 

A modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice for a new generation of love. Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay off her debts to her wealthy uncle. She lives with her boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting her one hundredth marriage proposal. Though Ayesha is lonely, she doesn't want an arranged marriage. Then she meets Khalid who is just as smart and handsome as he is conservative and judgmental. She is irritatingly attracted to someone who looks down on her choices and dresses like he belongs in the seventh century. When a surprise engagement is announced between Khalid and Hafsa, Ayesha is torn between how she feels about the straightforward Khalid and the unsettling new gossip she hears about his family. Looking into the rumors, she finds she has to deal with not only what she discovers about Khalid, but also the truth she realizes about herself.

Ivan Klima

Moving! Found on a hidden bookshelf in the back of my closet. There is a bit of wear and tear on the book edges (see pic) because I’ve owned this book for awhile., but is still in excellent condition.

The narrator of Ivan Klima's novel has temporarily abandoned his work-in-progress -an essay on Kafka -and exchanged his writer's pen for the orange vest of a Prague road-sweeper. As he works, he meditates on Czechoslovakia, on Kafka, on life, on art and, obsessively, on his passionate and adulterous love affair with the sculptress Daria. Gradually he admits the impossibility of being at once an honest writer and an honest lover, and with that agonizing discovery comes a moment of choice.

Moving! I found a hidden shelf of books but since most of my books are boxed, I will have to sell these. The first two books in the trilogy (I didn’t realize there was a third book since I read these a good while ago and will have to get a hold of the third at a later date.) These look brand new. Selling the books together!

Moving! Unfortunately, this shelf needs to be reduced down and since I have many fairytale retellings on my shelf, I have decided to sell this one. Hope someone else gets to enjoy it.

The biggest lie of all is the story you think you already know. The del Cisne girls have never just been sisters; they’re also rivals, Blanca as obedient and graceful as Roja is vicious and manipulative. They know that, because of a generations-old spell, their family is bound to a bevy of swans deep in the woods. They know that, one day, the swans will pull them into a dangerous game that will leave one of them a girl, and trap the other in the body of a swan. But when two local boys become drawn into the game, the swans’ spell intertwines with the strange and unpredictable magic lacing the woods, and all four of their fates depend on facing truths that could either save or destroy them. Blanca & Roja is the captivating story of sisters, friendship, love, hatred, and the price we pay to protect our hearts.

Blanca and Roja

Vincent Casciani

Moving! I acquired this from a local bookstore in Virginia (I believe,) and I think I bought it because it was a local author. It’s an interesting historical fiction about the Spanish in North America during their colonial times, and interactions with the indigenous peoples of Florida (if I recall correctly.) This version is new but I definitely have another copy somewhere.

"I put down the pen and set aside the paper. I have served my time." The Spanish Empire's conquest is marked by blood and gold. Alvar Núñez, soldier-turned-administrator, knows little else, and finds himself dissatisfied by the trappings of an ordinary life. When the opportunity comes to seek gold and glory in the New World, he jumps at the chance to revive his old passions. It's a shame, then, that his eight-year journey through the Gulf Region reduces him to a meager shell of a man. He must adapt and find compassion for the natives around him or die. Iberian Claim, Vincent Casciani's breakout novel, details the grueling account of Alvar Núñez' interaction with the various Native American tribes inhabiting La Florida. His conviction is degraded, his worldview is overturned, and his belief in Spanish superiority is tested at every turn.
