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

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...

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...
