    I started this book about an hour ago and I'm so hooked. It's one of those books where I know it's not amazing but I still can't put it down.

    Ramadan 🌙

    Tomorrow’s Ramadan!! Wishing a blessed ramadan to all my beloved muslims here 🫶🏻 Do you guys have any reading plans for Ramadan? I tend to focus more on Islamic non fiction books every year. It’s like my little break from the fictional world. But this year I want to do a mix of islamic non fiction and non-islamic non fiction. So far my reading plan (between Feb & March) is:

    Islam/Palestinian Books

    • Perfect Victims by *Mohamed El Kurd
    • Recognizing the Stranger by Isabella Hammad
    • The Eyes of Gaza by Plestia Alaqad
    • Letters to a Young Muslim by Omar Saif
    • They Called me a Lioness by Ahed Tamimi

    Non-Islamic Books

    • The Milkweed Lands by Eric Lee-Mäder
    • When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

    I would love to hear what you guys have on your TBR

    While White Nights is often talked about as a story of love and yearning, I found myself drawn more to its sense of loneliness and isolation. It feels like a quiet study of two people who are both lonely, but in very different ways.

    Nastenka’s loneliness comes from a life that feels small and constricted, where even simple hopes take on a heavy weight. The narrator, on the other hand, carries a more inward, contemplative loneliness, one shaped by solitude, imagination, and distance from the world around him. When their paths cross, what connects them is less romance than a shared need to be seen and heard, if only briefly.

    What moved me most is how gently this story handles human longing, without turning it into grand drama or clear resolutions. And of course, Dostoevsky’s writing plays a huge role here. His prose is delicate and atmospheric, capturing a cold, quiet, and melancholic mood with remarkable clarity. The emotional tone feels restrained yet deeply felt, making the reading experience both subtle and quietly affecting.

    "When you fall in love, I want you to fall in love all the way." Right in my hopelessly romantic heart.
