Classics I Still Have to Read!

Classics are my favourite genre of books. There is something so special about reading a book that was so widely revered when it was released many years ago, and that despite all of the time passed since its publication, has managed to maintain its grandeur and popularity (or for it to have significantly increased). There is something so beautiful and captivating about “timeless classics”. Most importantly, classics have the power to convey a snapshot of times passed in an enchanting and vivid detail hard to find elsewhere.

Islamic-Fiction Books on my TBR!

YESSS I’m back to talk about more Islamic-fiction! You might be wondering, “all she seems to be doing is talking about reading but not actually doing any reading and talking about writing but not actually doing any writing” and I know it must seem this way but I am reading and writing… it’s just not enough to talk about, you know what I’m saying? I am currently reading a book and currently writing it’s just progress has been slow, but I’m ploughing my way through it! 😀 I just need some more time to get into it all. I have been spending way more time on Goodreads again (I’ve missed it) and have a few Islamic-fiction books I’m dying to get my hands on which I thought I’d talk about!

Reading Books Outside of YA | Reading Goals

So… if you’ve *somehow* managed to stick around for the past 1.5+ years (and if you have… you’re amazing) it’s clear that my taste in books has evolved over the past couple years. I first started this blog in October 2017, when I had just started getting into YA fiction. This blog documents my journey of exploring YA fiction, through all the highs and lows, and I absolutely loved being able to engage with the amazing amazing amazing people in this community and bond with everyone over books. But by the end of summer 2019, I came to a realisation… after having read many, many YA books that summer my brain was officially saturated, and I felt like it was time to move on (more on that here). I’ll be honest, though, I didn’t really have much time to explore other reading options beyond YA (although I had many plans) because I started my A Levels – and it’s safe to say I was completely and utterly overwhelmed, so the books I read for pleasure plummeted, and my posts on here also plummeted. But now, I think I’m finally reading to truly delve outside of YA reading and into new waters, now that I’m in lockdown and my exams are cancelled (and I hope) that I have a little more time on my hands… this was a long prelude so let’s talk about it!!!
