A to Z and A Book Review

X, Y, Z... Hello Poetteers,

Why should I care? I don't always have to complete something if I don't feel into it. Instead I'll share a review of a book I promoted a few days ago:

Snip, Snip Revenge by Medeia Sharif

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tabby is lucky to go to art school. I'm already loving her. I can relate with her on the big curly hair. I can also relate on once getting a boyish haircut. Even though she isn't close with her stepmom I'm glad they found something to bond over. And same with her dad. They may not have a great relationship but she can still go talk to him. I love that she stood up for what she wanted and got it. For anyone who wants diversity in stories, they need to check this one out!

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.

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.

I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f

What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break. I forgot about her short conversation about a school dance club. I didn't even put in a scene of her joining after the conversation. More revisions to come.

If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
