Titles on Tuesday

Hello readers,

It's the first of February, so let's start this month with something cool. That's how the U.S. is feeling: bitter cold and icy. We can stay warm with love and laughs!

Yesterday, resource class made my day. So I had a good last day of January. Why? I'm still working on that memoir I mentioned earlier. I got my resource teacher to read it. Later I offered her to help me with the title. She got the whole class involved. Here are some of the titles they came up with:

  1. Hijabs R Us
  2. Cover Girl
  3. Covered but Not Forgotten
  4. The Great Cover Up
  5. The Oppression of the Unoppressed
Comment: What do you think? Is there anything else you can think of?

I absolutely adore "The Great Cover up", BUT for that piece had such a sweet/ soft rhythm and tone for it, I would go with "Cover Girl".

If you were writing an article blasting away @ the people who call hijab oppression,then I would say "The Great Cover up".

Keep it up, though. You've got talent, ma'shaAllah!

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f...

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
