Asiyah A quest for self love
Brief Summary
Asiyah, a twenty-two year old university student, is ready for love and eternal happiness. Being a rather simple girl herself, she decides to adopt the ways of her fashion-forward older sister, Zahra, for better chances to meet 'the one'-sounds simple, right?
Not quite. Asiyah soon learns, through a series of heartbreak, disappointment and frustration that it takes courage and sincerity to find the soulful love she seeks. Searching for happiness therefore takes Asiyah on a challenging journey to acquire what she realizes is the most important prerequisite of happiness: self-love.
Will Asiyah be able to look past all the imperfections she sees in the mirror and truly love herself? Or will the power of materialism and the desire for perfect beauty risk her chances of true happiness? Highlighting the importance of self-awareness along the winding road to happiness, Asiyah is the story of a woman growing into her own skin while balancing cultural expectations and personal beliefs.

The Outsiders
According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine.
A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc.
The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.

Britains Gulag The Brutal End of Empi...
Britain fought in the Second World War to save the world from fascism. But just a few years after the defeat of Hitler came the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya - a mass armed rebellion by the Kikuyu people, demanding the return of their land and freedom.
The draconian response of Britain's colonial government was to detain nearly the entire Kikuyu population of one-and-a half-million - to hold them in camps or confine them in villages ringed with barbed wire - and to portray them as sub-human savages.
From 1952 until the end of the war in 1960 tens of thousands of detainees - and possibly a hundred thousand or more - died from the combined effects of exhaustion, disease, starvation and systemic physical brutality.
Until now these events have remained untold, largely because the British government in Kenya destroyed most of its files. For the last eight years Caroline Elkins has conducted exhaustive research to piece together the story, unearthing reams of documents and interviewing several hundred Kikuyu survivors.
Britain's Gulag reveals what happened inside Kenya's detention camps, as well as the efforts to conceal the truth.
Now, for the first time, we can understand the full savagery of the Mau Mau war and the ruthless determination with which Britain sought to control its empire.
