What's up Wednesday

Hello Poetteers,

What I'm Reading:


I finally read and finished IF I STAY. I can't wait to read the sequel! In place of a review, I of course, poemed my thoughts on the book.

I also read BORN CONFUSED. I gave it five stars. I know I'll be rereading it. It's a big book and I missed some things. Also it's going to have a sequel. I'm excited. I really love the world it shows.

I'm finally going to attempt to read THE KITE RUNNER.

What I'm Writing:

The usual. DECIDING HIJAB and MAYBE LOVING YOU. I have made an official announcement already but it didn't get much buzz. I'm self publishing a third poetry collection this summer!

What Inspires Me Right Now:

Spring cleaning!

Love and thank you, Fida

I read IF I STAY some time back, but I think the timing was wrong for me, so I really need to reread it. Especially after seeing the amazing movie trailer for it! Congrats on the new poetry collection!

Congratulations on the poetry collection. How exciting :D

Spring cleaning can be such a great feeling. Sometimes you just have to have a real clean out.

Have a lovely week!

The Kite Runner- it's such a great book but such a hard read.
I loved If I Stay.

I remember reading THE KITE RUNNER for book club a long time ago. Yeah, not an easy read but a really good book. Congratulations on the new poetry collection! Have fun spring cleaning. :) I need to get going on that, too.

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!

What's up Wed: Blog Tour Day 3

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. 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. The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad . What Else : It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour. Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book . 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
