During the month of Ramadan (August 11 – September 10), I am going to be posting daily reviews of books that deal with Islam, as well as other discussion posts related to the topics that come out of these books. I will be writing about both fiction and non-fiction books, and from a variety of sources and perspectives.
For more posts in the Ramadan Reading series here at Reading Through Life, you can click on the image to the right, or take a look at the schedule of posts.
As part of this month’s series, I’ve decided to give away a book a week as well. Each week, the winner will get to choose between all of the books that have been reviewed during that week! You do not have to be a follower of this blog to be eligible! (Though it would obviously be nice…)
