All My Rage | 
pickThis review is written by 15 year old Trish, who absolutely loved it and thinks Noor and Misbah are great female characters. Despite the crap they had to deal with.
Adult Trish would like to say these teenagers made some bad decisions and is that really the appropriate ending!
Overall, a good read 😁 with some great music.

Enjoying the book so far.
pickI mostly enjoyed this YA story about two Muslim HS students living in California. The book started out very strong but towards the end it petered out a bit. Teens Noor & Salahudin are childhood friends but now they are on the outs until a tragedy brings them back together only leading to new trouble. Audio narration was excellent. #52Books23 #OneOfTheSevenDeadlySins would work for other prompts as well 😍#Booked2023 #QuietYA
As I‘m waiting for my pre-order to drop I started this audio and it‘s FANTASTIC!!!! #QuietYA #Booked2023 #52Books23 #FeaturingOneOfTheSevenDeadlySins
pickThere‘s a lot going on in this YA book. It‘s engaging, plot twists and turns, likeable characters who make some mistakes, and mostly believable reactions. There‘s a few flaws, but my teenage daughter would love this book, she would see strong female characters, and that‘s what makes this book receive a good recommendation.
pickAll My Rage by Sabaa Tahir is a beautiful and meaningful story about Salahudin and Noor. They are young high school students who are facing unthinkable circumstances. Though they often make the wrong choices, they must always deal with the consequences. They are sympathetic characters who captured my heart & had me rooting for them. This is a novel that teaches empathy & understanding with being a bit difficult to read at first but well worth it.
@ShelleyBooksie here is my "Santa" book haul, that is all the books I've been gifted/won in the last two weeks.
My current read. I am starting to read the 22 books for my Spring MLIS class. Trying to get ahead before the semester begins.
pickOne of the best books of 2022! Great YA realistic fiction from a queen of YA fantasy! Sabaa Tahir had me rooting for her teenage characters even while they made huge mistakes. She captures emotion and difficult situations (loving someone w/addiction, past trauma shaping lives, racism) with honesty, compassion. Her biography at the end shows how much of herself she put into her two MCs. 💗
pickThis book is worth all the accolades it has received! Very realistic and sympathetic characters. For those who read middle grade fiction, this is a more mature read alike to Front Desk by Kelly Yang.
pickI absolutely did not expect to like this book as much as I did. I loved it! It was absolutely heartbreaking at times and I fought myself on the verge of tears several times. This books was beautiful. I‘m so glad I read it!
pickThis was perfection. Cried at least three times and have completely fallen in love with this book! Tahir has such a great grasp on the impacts of trauma and her storytelling is impeccable. Can't wait to see what she writes next.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
CONGRATULATIONS TO SABAA TAHIR!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Her marvelous book, All My Rage, has won the 2022 National Book Award (YA category)!!! It's so very exciting! 💕📚💕📚💕📚💕
pickThis was riveting. I was certainly enraged by all the injustices and sorrows Salahudin, Noor, and Misbah experienced, and I loved that the storyline didn't follow the path I expected. Definitely worth a read. #yalit
#IndelibleMoments Day 15: The long list for the 2022 National Book #Award for Young People‘s literature has just been announced: https://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/story/longlist-for-the-2022-national-book-a... - read the tagged book as part of our book club read this summer.
pickI loved this book. It felt like Tahir was getting into the the rhythm of her writing in the first few chapters ( maybe I was trying to get the hang of her writing 🤔)… but once it clicked, the novel was flawless. The story is mainly about Misbah, Salahudin, and Noor. From Pakistan, Misbah moves to America as a young bride. Soon she gives birth to her son Salahudin, and their lives cross paths with Noor. Several harsh themes, but simply beautiful.
I‘m not sure if I‘m mentally prepared for this one, but here we go 💪🏼
pickA beautiful read with memorable characters that will leave me thinking about them for days. This book deals with grief, friendship, alcoholism, abuse and even love. All my rage deals with more issues but it is so hard to name them all. Great job Sabaa Tahir with writing this story!!! A+
pickI want to rave about this book but where to start?! It's heartbreaking and beautiful. With raw, authentic storytelling this book deals with a lot of trauma (illness, death, addiction, abuse, bullying, racism) but allows room for love and hope. Sabaa Tahir uses alternating POVs of Misnah (then), Noor and Salahudin (now) and layers of place, food, and music woven around the characters and their stories. Very well done. This is YA at its best.
I'm in a slump and I hate it.
Not just reading but also crocheting and playing the kalimba—2 other things I like doing in my free time. Over the past 2 weeks, I've started 2 books but haven't gotten past 50 pages with each.
Regardless, I still visit the bookstore every week and today I got new books!
#BookMoods Day 17: I love how this book is so #MusicRelated, there is even a Spotify playlist made to put together all songs referenced in this riveting young adult novel which I have just finished reading for my book club here in the UAE.
pickSabaa Tahir's Ember in the Ashes series is one of my favorites, so I was eager to read her next novel and more so intrigued that the genre was Contemporary. She made the transition of genres flawlessly. The characters and teens were incredibly raw and authentic to me. Their experiences were gritty and messy. The prose inserted throughout was stunning and I was on an emotional rollercoaster the entire time.
Catching up on @sabaatahir 's recent book release 🎧

pick4/5 ⭐
What an amazing and powerful book. We follow the POV of 3 characters. Misbah, Sal's mother, Sal and Noor. We learn about they're life. Bullying, sickness, death, addiction, abuse, sexual abuse and what a person is willing to do in a situation of crisis.
This story will make you think. I wanted to hug each character. An important story that needs to be read.
so-soI‘m sure this will be an #unpopularopinion, but I thought the first half of this book was an overwrought, melodramatic mess and I nearly bailed on it. The second half is terrific, which makes the first half that much more disappointing. Also, the single past timeline is poorly worked in and only seems present to reveal a detail about one of the main characters. This one really felt like it needed to be reworked to me.
pickThis book was a treat! Knowing Tahir from her Ember in the Ashes series, I was unsure how to feel about a book that was such a departure, but she does not disappoint. The tale this book tells is a difficult one, full of hardships, poor choices and betrayal; but also of love, loyalty and forgiveness. Just like in life, I was rooting for the characters while acknowledging their faults. Misbah, Noor and Salahudin will stay with me for a long time.
pickThis was my #lmpbc read for April. Highly recommend.
Will be saving the rest of my thoughts for the book! In the mail soon.

pickThis was some fabulously emotional YA - well written, well paced, and heartbreaking for all three POVs. This should be a television series stat. Follows two teenage best friends who are a little in love with each other — their own secrets and traumas, and a matriarch who risks everything for them both.
pickI did find that I could relate to many of the hard-hitting aspects of this novel. Not all, of course, but I felt for the characters, regardless of how familiar the circumstances were. I especially loved Misbah‘s chapters & I think Tahir‘s execution with this particular character was brilliantly done, circling me back to the beginning when I‘d felt so little; where I now suddenly felt so much.

Hello #GroupI of LMPBC 014! Figured I‘d start us off! I‘m thinking of All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir for my pick. It comes out March 1st, so the timing just feels right. Added bonus: I know no one will have read it yet! And it‘s a stand alone YA which is a rare find! What do you think and nice to meet you?!
