The Coin by Yasmin Zaher. A unnamed protagonist is a wealthy, stylish, eccentric Palestinian woman who passes her time in NY working as a middle school teacher and… other things. Pummeling, engrossing prose that feels like a runaway train. I feel the need to exfoliate. #BookSky #YasminZaher
Book hauls from a combo of Hey Books! and The Book Catapult, both based in San Diego. #BookSky #BookStore #ShopSmall #Stickers #HonoréeFanonneJeffers #JamesJoyce #YasminZaher #changjoonan #EmanQuotah
