Price of Honour: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence on the Islamic World by Jan Goodwin
Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women by Geraldine Brooks
Burned Alive by Souad
The Caged Virgin: A Muslim Woman's Cry for Reason by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

lol, I have Nine Parts of Desire, Price of Honour and The Caged Virgin on my wishlist !

I haven't read Burned Alive yet, but I read something where they've proved that the story is fictional, even though it was promoted as a true memoir. That irks me if it's true...

My husband got us three NY history books:

Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City Loaded with images of what the city may have looked like before it was "discovered" by the Europeans.

Dutch New York: The Roots of Hudson Valley Culture This one's about the influence the Dutch had on New York City and areas north.

New York 400: A Visual History of America's Greatest City with Images from The Museum of the City of New York Full of maps, artwork ,and photos depicting 400 years of the history of the city. It's a gorgeous book!
