I went to Jarir last Thursday with my heart jumping on the clouds. I had a list of highly recommended books that I was dying to read. I went to the customer service. The guy in charge was on the phone. I had to wait for 15 minutes till he finished. I handed him the list of the books I needed to buy and told him I will have a look at the book shelves and get back to him.
I was looking for this

I wish you had seen the look on my face when said none is available!! I wanted to jupm on his table and literally suffocate him!! I was really angry as how uncivilized we Saudis are not to have books that are available at other countries!! I went to the book shelves and grabbed some books. I haven't hear or had someone recommend them but what can I do, I was hungry for a good read!!
I bought this

I will be searching for these books in Bahrain, hoping to find them . I have started reading "A Bend in the Road" and I can't put down!
P.S. If you have read any of the books I bought and didn't like, please don't tell me. I get affected easily by people's opinions loool

No don't you ever strangle that poor lil fellow. Woooot sweetie that is a long list of books, I don't think I could finish even one, LOL! I'm back to school *tears*
i'll write your list down and if i was able to go to one of the bookshops i'll check for you (might buy a few too)... but these days 3indena '6eroof so it'll be a while...
can't you order them online? or will there be trouble with the customs?
Greetings from the U.S.A.!! I just happened to stumble upon your blog and I couldn't stop reading for like the last hour! You write with so much passion and emotion.. it's great to see that there are Saudi women who express themselves so well. :) Take care!
Just order them from Amazon.com, it will take from 3-7 days to arrive and will almost cost you the same with shipping, if not less.

I am too lazy to create a visa card to order lol

E-Arab

I will order them but let me create a master card 1st lol
Hey there I know how it feels to go to Jareer wanting a book so badly and not finding it AND not wanting to wait to get it fromAmazon which takes about 2 weeks to get here sometimes evern more!
But If you want the first book I have it (Sarah Dessen) I could send it to you just send me an email.. desert dot rose 598 at gmail dot com
I have other books by the other authors but not the ones you were looking for :)
i love reading as well .. looks like ill be popping into borders to see if they have any of them ..
im a person whose influenced by the cover .. if i dont like the way it looks it doesnt interest me or something, i dont pick it up *even though i know u should never judge a book by its cover ;P*
I'd like to suggest a book I think you would loooove! It's "Couldn't Keep It to Myself" by Wally Lamb and various women. He is a well-respected author and he volunteered his time at a women's prison to help them learn to write and tell their stories. Some are sad, some funny, some make you think. It's a really great book I'd recommend any woman to read! :)

I will be really grateful for any book you suggest!!
I tried eading online and it kind of bored me, give me pushes to go back to it ;D
I will write my email on your blog

For a book, it's O.K to be decieved by a cover because it won't hurt but for people, you know, appearances versus reality ;D
ok then , they r all cool & a must read
hmmmm u encouraged me 2 get that a bend in the road
I'll try it soon nshallah
hey, why don't u order from amazon !!
I guess everything is there
