    Fadwa's Book List for 2009

    I love the idea of this challenge - would the group owners mind if I posted a similar challenge for Arabic book readers on one of my blogs?

    I think I will do 2 things: list what I'm reading and then note that I have finished them, and list what the books I have in mind to read as I find books that attract me.

    But first - books I've read so far:

    1) I want to get married – أنا عايزة أتجوزج
    2) Drawing for the terrified (by Richard Box)
    3) Art Journals and Creative Healing - Sharon Soneff
    4) روائح ماري كلير an Arabic book by Habib Salemi - title translates to: The Scents of Marie-Claire
    5) Poem collection - للراشدين فقط translated as For Adults Only by Yahia Jaber
    6) Drawing from Within - Nick Meglin with Diane Meglin, DCSW
    7) Teacher Man - Frank McCourt
    8) Sophia - صوفيا by Mohammed Hassan Alwan
    9) Poetry collection: مقام الجنس وتصوّف الحواس (Sexual Maqam and Sofism of the Senses) By Nasri Al Sayegh
    10) Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper by SARK
    11) Fadwa - by Fadwa Hassan
    12) Zuhour, Sarah and Nairiman by Khalil Souwalieh زهور وسارة ونريمان - خليل صويلح
    13) The Prophet - Gibran Jalil Gibran (I read it before, I read it again)
    14) Succulent Wild Woman by SARK
    15) Beya's Lovers عشاق بية by Habib Salemi
    16) The Creative Licence by Danny Gregory
    17) تطريس في مئة قول وقول - حسني عايش- A book of 101 sayings by Husni Ayish
    18) Candy - Mian Mian
    19) Spilling Open - sabrina ward harrison
    20) Make your creative dreams real - SARK

    Reading now:
    1) My Happiness Bears no Relation to Happiness - Adina Hoffman
    2) Word into Art – Artists of the Modern Middle East (by Venetia Porter)
    3) Collage Source Book - Quary
