I’m doing my first tag today—the Ramadan Readathon Book Tag, which was created by Amna over at YA Reading Corner. This is a bit more personal than my usual book reviews, so I hope it’s a fun way to get to know one another a little better. 🙂
Ramadan Readathon Book Tag
~*Mirrors and Windows*~
Name a book that you felt represented you or that you were able to relate to.
Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali is the first book that I read and was able to say: Yes! that’s the community I grew up in!
~*My Muslim Hero/Heroine*~
Name your favorite Muslim character and explain why.
Kamala Khan from the Ms. Marvel comic book series because she’s a badass with a good heart. What better combination?
~*Patience is a virtue*~
Name your most anticipated read by a Muslim author.
Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin is a Pride and Prejudice reboot with Muslim characters. Uhhh, yes please! It comes out June 12 in Canada.
~*Muslim Scribe*~
Name your favorite Muslim author.
I don’t really have a favorite Muslim author. I read everything I can get my hands on, and will try everyone once, and most people twice. 🙂
~*The Muslim Shelf*~
Recommend one book by a Muslim author that everyone should read.
Mommy’s Khimar by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and illustrated by Ebony Glenn. Yes! A picture book! Because everyone can enjoy a gorgeously illustrated picture book, and this one shows the beauty and power of one of Islam’s most misunderstood symbols (the hijab.) I think it’s a fabulous tool for understanding and peace.
Let me know your answers to any of these questions or if you’ve read any of the books I’ve mentioned.
Happy Ramadan!
We also loved, Mommy’s Khimar!
