Hijabi Reads

  Hello friends...welcome to my space. As you might know, May is a month for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage so I decided to read books that represent them. But for this year, I more focus on reading Asian books. And...here they are! 1. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations. Floods sweep away entire villages, while bloody wars are waged over the few remaining resources. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curses them with death and despair. In an attempt to appease him, each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride, in the hopes that one day the “true bride” will be chosen and end the suffering. Many believe that Shim Cheong, the most beautiful girl in the village—and the beloved of Mina’s older brother Joon—may be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is to be sacrificed, Joon follows Cheong out to sea, even knowing that to interfer...

  Hi, friends! Welcome to my space. EID AL-FITR MUBARAK! I hope we can be more forgiving to each other this year and become a better person. Saying "forgive me" is not a shameful thing, instead it makes you become a great person who is able to acknowledge your own mistakes. That's how strong a word is. Just one word can destroy everything, but also with one word can fix everything. These three women experience it on firsthand. You Truly Assumed by Laila Sabreen In this compelling and thought-provoking debut novel, after a terrorist attack rocks the country and anti-Islamic sentiment stirs, three Black Muslim girls create a space where they can shatter assumptions and share truths. Sabriya has her whole summer planned out in color-coded glory, but those plans go out the window after a terrorist attack near her home. When the terrorist is assumed to be Muslim and Islamophobia grows, Sabriya turns to her online journal for comfort. You Truly Assumed was never meant to be an...

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my space and happy fasting for my muslim friends. Hang in there guys...we almost finish it! Today, I will talk about the new chapter book which is The Further Adventure of Miss Petitfour . The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour by Anna Michaels (ARC) Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are “just the right size” for a “single, magical day.” With her sixteen cats and the aid of a tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour soars — which is to say, she rises high in the air and flies — over her charmingly eccentric village, encountering adventures along the way. One never knows where the wind will take her in this delightfully seasonal collection of magical outings: perhaps to the aid of dearly loved friends and neighbors, including a hapless handyman and an onion-loving baby, or to a coconut-confetti parade, or in search of keys, lucky charms or even simply the perfect tablecloth for her next flight. A witty, whimsical, beautifully illustrated...

Hi, friends.... Welcome to my space! RAMADHAN IS HERE, EVERYONE!  I hope you all still have the energy to continue fasting for the rest of the month. If not, then I hope this book can help to lift it up! Today, we meet the troubled girls of Dragomir Academy. But, are they really troubled? T he Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy by Anne Ursu If no one notices Marya Lupu, it is likely because of her brother, Luka. And that's because of what everyone knows: that Luka is destined to become a sorcerer. The Lupus might be from a small village far from the capital city of Illyria, but that doesn't matter. Every young boy born in in the kingdom holds the potential for the rare ability to wield magic, to protect the country from the terrifying force known only as the Dread. For all the hopes the family has for Luka, no one has any for Marya, who can never seem to do anything right. But even so, no one is prepared for the day that the sorcerers finally arrive to test Luka for magical abi...

Hi, friends! Welcome to my space. This time I will talk about one of my favorite books of all time which is Heartless . Heartless by Marissa Meyer Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.

  HI, FRIENDS! Welcome to my space  and my NEW BLOG. With this newness atmospher around, it will only fair if we are talking about new book as well, right? So, now I'm gonna introduce you to books that release in 2022. LET'S GET STARTED! First, let's talk about love, shall we? 1. Falling for the Suitor by Holly Kerr I never expected to fall for The Suitor. I actually trip on the hem of my dress. It wasn’t my idea to come on the reality show, because who really falls in love after twelve weeks? I’m not good at love... or being camera-ready 24/7. The other contestants know all about the First Date Rose, how to get The Suitor alone on a group date, and they all have a plan on how to best win his heart. It’s not going to be easy playing nice with them. But when I meet The Suitor— Grayson Grant, former player on and off the field, and with the smile that can light up a city—it’s the spark between us that makes me forget all the reasons I didn’t want to come on the show. I’m goin...
