I have finally started reading Born Under a Million Shadows by Andrea Busfield. I have had this book on my TBR shelf for so long and I keep putting other books in front of it. No more!
"My name is Fawad, and my mother tells me I was born under the shadow of the Taliban."
How can that not make you want to read this book?! I have read quite a few Afghanistan-based novels over the last year or so and have liked them all so now I am revved up to read this book. I'll be at a conference this weekend so am not sure how much reading I will get done....

I agree - that's a really riveting start! I have had this on my TBR for ever too!
Aths--I am finally looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one
