Looking for a book ...

4 years ago

In talking with a customer of mine about the book "Reading Lolita in Tehran" she mentioned a book in a similar vein about a beauty shop opening in a country where women were not encouraged to embellish themselves. It sounded interesting, but I cannot remember the title or the author. Can anyone help with this information? view post

Shanie [Raksha] says:

Thanks Christine...what we say to each is great, but said to the "world" at large validates our efforts [& provides good info!
Shanie [Raksha] says:

W/ my avatar no one knows who I am, but Iike to read reviews by people other than the publisher, so I keep doing it. Sometimes I agree w/the publisher, sometimes I don,t. I got a really nasty email from Lorna Baarrett 2 yrs ago - I panned a portion of 1 of her books.
Shanie [Raksha] says:

The secret is: to cut & paste! Oh, so much easier....now I just have to bet back to reading...still having some problems, but w/summer on the way...all things will be okay!
Shanie [Raksha] says:

Hi Christine - could you put the reviews of Devil, Gods, & Sacre Bleu on line under the Indigo book entries? These are really good reviews of same & would be great to share w/all Indigo 'shoppers', not just the community... Many thanks! Yes, they are now in my TBRs for the summer! Will I ever get to the end of these shelves??? Tee-he-he...

Thanks for accepting :)

I do recommend the Pelee Island Merlot & Pinot Noire - for chardonnay I get Henry of Pelham...nothing like reading on the veranda w/a glass & one of our favs! Sveiks (that is cheers - sort of - in Latvian!)
