Originally created by star is all booked up! (i was tagged on twitter (@starshynebrite on Twitter) If you'd like to follow me on Twitter, I'm @goldenseeker97. Thank you to Rameela or Star is All Booked Up for creating these stunning graphics! Evermore came out this week and I can't stop listening to that and Folklore. My favorite songs are: Gold Rush, Dorthea, Ivy, Closure, Evermore, 'tis the damn season, willow, champagne problems, tolerate it, and long story short! I can't pick one. Okay, so for this one I'd have to go with Zeyneb from Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali. I think it was so brave of her to stand up to her Islamophobic teacher and she also got a romance with Adam. I, mean, who wouldn't want someone like Adam in their life? Zeyneb is one of my favorite YA characters and I absolutely adore her. I would have to pick Lucky from Somewhere Only We know by Maurene Goo. It's told in a dual POV and it's the perfect book for Korean Drama fans! For Gold Rush, my anticipated release was A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir and it's easily the best book of 2020 in my opinion. Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines has the perfect small town romance. It also involves a murder. The story is centered around West Ashby and Maggie Carleton! I would say this could also be unrequited love and for that I have to select The Upside of Unrequited Love by Becky Albertalli. It takes place in the same universe as Simon Spier and if you're a fan of Love, Simon or Simon vs. the Homo Sapien Agenda or Love, Victor then this is for you! Sophia from Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron. I think if she wanted to, she could get away with it. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal, and Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali! I think all of these authors are incredibly talented and I resonate with the characters. They also have a way of making their book comforting and making you suffer alongside the protagonists. I have to go with The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis because it's the first time I fell in love with the stories and it inspires a lot of my books. I also have to say it's one of my favorite series to reread. "That's the thing about pain - it demands to be felt!" -John Green. I think Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters fit this song perfectly. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins because Katniss crept up on Gale in the beginning of the book and I think it suits the series pretty well. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh reminds me of this! It's a 1001 nights retelling that also has an enemies to lovers trope. I hate to say this one because it was a book I was really looking forward to but I have to go with A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi. I'm a huge Shatter Me fan and I thought it would focus more on the Muslim part of it but it didn't and I just hate seeing the same "white boy comes to save the Muslim girl" story. I'm well aware a lot of people loved it/resonated with it but I just want to see more stories like Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali. I have SO many for this one!! I think Once Upon An Eid edited by Aisha Saeed and S.K. Ali, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) by G. Willow Wilson, That Can be Arranged by Huda Fahmy, and Dear Justyce by Nic Stone all have a beautiful message for readers! "Please, leave me alone I don't want to think about the hurt you caused me."- Closure lyrics. I am going to have to go with Internment. It had the potential to be an incredible, ground-breaking novel but it chose to go through a different route and I'm so sick of books like this one. Especially when it's being promoted as a Muslim book. As a Muslim reader, I find it highly offensive. I loveee this song so much and I have SO many recommendations for this one!! I think Shine by Jessica Jung, Frankly in Love by David Yoon, Saints and Misfits by S.K.Ali, Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin, Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, Crowning Soul by Sahira Javaid, and The Bloodprint by Ausma Zehanat Khan.
