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. :)

Floor to ceiling shelves? Tea bar? I'm sold and moving into your library!

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

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...

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
