Why greetings ? when i can just dive into the plot and let it speak  of itself !  a while back , i was contacted by a friend of mine (which happens to be the author herself )  to do a full review including  all the criticism  i may have. I plunged into it , as usual knowing nothing but the title , and as you can tell by the title it's that sorta of lovey at times stories . been long time since i last read a book in Arabic , and  YEAH , caught by surprise how quick and page turning it was .  It was nah my most fave  , but it  got me to that part of my life when everything  was so  easy getting and most of all when cheesy love stories seemed to MATTER the most .  It revolves around this girl name ; AHLAM and her knight lover and all those feelings that crippled upon .  I got engaged at some parts and felt so MEEEEHHHHH , because COME ON who didn't believe in mister right/princesses when they were young ?  ...

BACK AGAIN  !  Hey , sorry for the lack of posting i was just so friggin' busy and enjoying trips with my bestie which is no excuse . Last month was an okay reading month   for me , due to the decent amount of books i've read . Actually ! thought about writing you up  my June wrap up , then was like hold your horses gal ! imma review this book now , because it can't wait more . Then we shall see . I know , the book is no new for y'all people . Yet , can be the last to read it but seriously was the kinda books that was worth all the  hype . As you can tell by the title , The Hate U Give is the book i've been living to review it . I'm nah going  to spoil anything but give sorta major themes , major principals that stuck in my head , and opened my eyes on so many things . lemme , set a quote that would speak for the book . "people like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice."    the characters in here , a...

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

"I find spending an hour or two every day running alone, not speaking to anyone, as well as four or five hours alone at my desk, to be neither difficult nor boring. I’ve had this tendency ever since I was young, when, given a choice, I much preferred reading books on my own or concentrating on listening to music over being with someone else. I could always think of things to do by myself" Mean can you just gawp at this marvelous quote , then i shall justify my absence ? Awe boy ,  been a  couple months since i read  What I Talk About When I Talk About Running  , dived into it knowing nothing.Yet, the author's name that made a giant hype all over the place . Maybe you haven't read  any of his books but at least you'v heard of him ... NO ? NO NO ! Boo! it's nah JOHN GREEN , it's Haruki Murakami D: . Well , when i first started  his baby , i was like hmmm seems good since everyone's else is talking about it let's give it a sh...

REVIEW : When breath becomes air by Paul Kalanithi

Image
Hiya ! I read this almost  a couple months ago and realized I never reviewed it. When I finished the book, I just couldn't review it , it was  so powerful that  the ideas and  the words betrayed me  , i hardly seat myself  to review it today , it is just a MASTERPIECE that if i had the chance to rate it more than 5 stars i'd definitely do , usually i'm a crying bookish .Yet, this one turned me into sobbing like no book ever did , it turned me into a sad weeping mess quickly .  The story is  so   amazingly good and so  freaking sad. It's a brief memoir of a life ended way too early , it's about ,   Dr. Paul Kalanithi who was a neurosurgical resident entering his final year of training when he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer , about his wife , family and he's new born  baby and how they all faced his illness , it is more about ; the power of  the internal affections , and finally how can  a simple ...

REVIEW : Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa

Image
HELLOW ! i know i outta be punished for the long absence , but c'mon i got caught up with a bunch of things to do , promise ! won't absent this much anymore . However , buckle up guys i just finished a book that got meh sobbing for hours ,  open-mouthed for minutes and lost in thoughts for seconds !  i mean how can a book do all that to a person ? i'd definitely say that this is :    The   most heartbreaking novel I have ever  read ,   I can't really write a review that will give this novel all of its credit . i just wanna ask you guys  :  How many books you have read that made you love, hate, cry, angry, remorse  and all the senses that a human being can experience ?  This book will make you feel human.  Mornings in Jenin is an amazing read and an insight to the lives of the Abulheha's family who are an ordinary Palestinian family living before and during  the creation of the state of Israel  ...
