What's up Wednesday

Hello readers,

What I'm Reading

I just read

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was a fun read. An intense read. It reminded me a bit of Pretty Little Liars. I never read a book like this: where the popular girl is part of the main character role. Where revenge is the main plot. This story is told in three point of views. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I'm in the midst of reading DREAMLAND by Sarah Dessen and THE PROPHET by Khalil Gibran.

What I'm Writing

Still no major writing.

What Else I've Been Up To

Our mosque had their annual friendship feast. I got to hand out my poetry book promo cards and even signed one!

Love and thank you,
Fida
