    More exciting news at the Suspense & Thrillers Group…as you might already know that Keith Katsikas, author of “2060: The Newton Prophecies” will be leading a discussion on his book. We don’t have a date set up yet, but will in a couple of weeks.

    In the meantime, Amanda Stevens, author of THE DOLLMAKER, has also agreed to lead the discussion for May’s Group Read, which is THE DOLLMAKER. I’m really excited as this is something new and might become a new trend with our group discussions. If you’ve already read the book, come join us. If not, see if you can grab a copy. There’s still time as the discussion won’t begin until the first week of May.

    A Salaam Alaykum Sister Jamilah, Just a note to make sure all is well with you, and your family inshaallah. Have not heard from you in a while. Perhaps you are keeping quite busy- which happens to all of us. Are you now writing a book, if so please let us know what it is, in order that we may add to our read list inshaallah. I pray that you are doing well, in your new Community. Hope to hear from you, when time permits. Your Sister in Islam

    A Salaam alaykum My wonderful Sister; Just a short note, to wish you the blessing of Eid Al Adha. I have also meant to write more to you, but have been overwhelmed here at home. I pray, inshaallah, that your 1st ten, of Dhul Hijjah, were brought blessings from Allah (SWT) and if you were able to fast today, inshaallah your sins were forgiven. May Allah(SWT) give you and your family a wonderful celebration of Allah's mercy, inshaallah. Your Sister in Islam
