Happy Weekend (if it is your weekend like it is mine)☀️ I’ve taken up some sort of-lighter reading, and finished The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis. This is her latest novel, but Davis has written other popular historical fiction novels. This is the first I’ve read by her, and overall I had a great time reading this one ✨

This. Book. Was. Insane 🥩😬 I barely had the words when I finished it, and a part of me barely does now. But I strongly recommend Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica if you’re into dystopian horror or want a thought provoking read ✨
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who calls themself mom or is a mom-like figure! 🌸 I finished a book this week not really relating to motherhood, but something a bit more terrifying… Bunny by Mona Awad is a book I’ve seen mentioned for awhile now and I wasn’t sure how to gauge it from other reviews. But after finishing it, I can honestly say it’s one of the most weirdly terrifying books I’ve read in a while ✨

A little late, but April is #arabamericanheritagemonth . I wanted to recognize Arab American authors so here is a post sharing my latest read, You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat, and if you swipe left a few other AA authors ✨ I don’t talk about my own Arab heritage often (I’m Syrian/Lebanese), but for me it’s sometimes cathartic to read AA author’s perspectives who share a clearer voice to how I feel about my own identity or, better yet, address questions or similar insecurities I have that I haven’t been able to pin point yet. There are some fantastic AA authors out there that you all should give a chance, and if anyone wants any more recs or has any recs for me please share! ✨

Hope everyone’s having a great week so far 💫 My birthday was this past week, and it was definitely one of my better and more memorable ones for sure! I also finally got back into reading and finished this exhilarating book: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I heard a lot about this one for the past year and after reading it, I wished I had sooner ✨

Going into this book, I have to admit… I did not know much about the Alamo or what happened during the battle that Texas would consider one of their most important historical moments. I try to read more non-fiction every now and then, and I was happy to pick this one up ✨🌵
