Love-A-Thon: Introduction

Hello readers,
Hosted by: Alexa (Alexa Loves Books), Cee (The Novel Hermit), Hazel (Stay Bookish) & Mel (The Daily Prophecy)

I'm Fida Islaih. I call my readers Poetteers. It was inspired by my love of poetry and having the title three musketeers stuck in my head. I was part of a collaboration blog where I shared my poetry once in a while and the people I collaborated with pushed me to have my own blog. My blog is currently titled Hugs and Kisses of Poetry because I write poetry and that's how words make me feel. I even have a poetry book titled, Hugs & Kisses.

I mostly read and review contemporary YA. I'm slowly getting into fantasy, etc. I'm excited for more books by Sarah J Maas and Marissa Meyer. One book I wanted to but didn't read last year and will try to read this year is Susan Abulhawa's The Blue Between Sky and Water.

I really love book and stationary shopping, shopping for clothes would be next. There was a TV series called Little Mosque on the Prairie, I want more TV shows and books similar to that. Two books that come to mind that I want more of is Does My Head Look Big In This and Bestest. Ramadan. Ever.

Other than that, my dream library would have wall to ceiling shelves and big windows that could be window seats along with regular big comfy chairs. Maybe it would even have a tea and snack bar.

Love, Fida

I've been reading a lot of contemporary YA lately too. It may be because it was just valentine's day! Nice to meet you. :)

Our dream libraries are very similar! I think it would be so great to have floor to ceiling shelves, and I would love big windows for light with window seats for comfort <3
I agree with the comments above! Your dream library is the kind I would love to get lost in for days. ♥♥♥

A snack bar right in the library would be nice! So you can eat some before going back to reading ;D

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
