#PoetryMatters Day 21: #Plum

#MayMoms Day 21: This looks like a #Groovy adaptation of a classic novel. I want!

#PoetryMatters Day 20: #Plod

#MayMoms Day 20: I gather that this is a bit of a #Scandalous mom. Newest book purchase. Review is forthcoming. Looking forward to reading it.

#PoetryMatters Day 19: #Plight

#MayMoms Day 19: Very #happy to receive two conference acceptances in one night - received these emails one after the other two nights ago. One is in Netherlands in early September, the other in Indiana in November. 📚📚📚

#PoetryMatters Day 18: #Pledge

#MayMoms Day 18: Looks like this book about #Ghost(s) is not yet in the database. 📚📚📚A Big Bad Wolf book find! More of my book haul from the recent book bad wolf sale in Dubai a few weeks back here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ohE

#MayMoms Day 17: #Military is undoubtedly needed when there is a war going on. Review is forthcoming.

#PoetryMatters Day 16: #Play

#MayMoms Day 16: If one is #Lonely, these two would probably help - especially among us bibliophiles. 📚📚📚

#PoetryMatters Day 15: #Plate

#MayMoms Day 15: So many new #Writer(s) I am looking forward to discovering through this massive compilation.

#MayMoms Day 14: Not really #Adoptive but foster furry baby. We took care of gorgeous Snickers for 3 weeks while her dad was attending a conference and spending time with family in the US.

#MayMoms Day 13: #Single wish indeed for this mother of the world‘s oldest university. Review is forthcoming.

#PoetryMatters Day 12: #Plain - poem by Tamara J. Madison

#MayMoms Day 12: One of the most formidable #MovieMoms is Scarlet Witch. We just watched Dr Strange. While I think that Wanda‘s grief is way overplayed now - with a whole tv series and now an entire movie devoted to her loss - I still found the entire idea of multiverses fascinating. I hope to watch Michelle Yeo‘s but not shown here in the UAE yet.

#PoetryMatters day 11: #Plaid

#MayMoms Day 11: Mandy Moore would forever be one of my favourite #TVMoms. Last two episodes!

#PoetryMatters Day 10: #Plague

#MayMoms Day 10: Filipinos need to be #Courageous now as electoral fraud seems to be happening at the moment. Marcos Jr. is running for Presidency and seemingly leading the race. It is not surprising that historical revisionism is now rampant with Martial Law wrongly depicted as an idyllic time of peace and prosperity, something which was also featured in this book. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-om2

#PoetryMatters Day 9: #Placid

#MayMoms Day 9: I am missing the tagged book and Foundation‘s Edge so I can complete the entire series. Bought these babies during the very recent Big Bad Wolf book sale in Dubai.

#MayMoms Day 8: #MothersDay is always a great excuse for a stack of new books. Whee!

#MayMoms Day 7: There are sort-of #Stepmoms in this novel where main family has two wives (Muslim culture): one is Sudanese the other is Egyptian. Fascinating story. Truly a family saga like no other. Review is forthcoming.

#PoetryMatters Day 6: #Pitch

#MayMoms Day 6: This is a #Memorable story based in Sudan, Egypt, and the UK. Beautiful story that is perfect as well for our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme.

#MayMoms Day 5: Perhaps chocolate crepe with vanilla ice cream and turkish coffee is quite #Unhealthy - but hey we are on a week-long holiday, so let‘s indulge! Book is part of our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme and included in “This Is The Canon” booklist. 📚

#PoetryMatters Day 4: #Phone

#MayMoms Day 4: A great deal of #Loving in this unforgettable and powerful novel that is perfect for our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme. Review is forthcoming.

#Two4Tuesday
📚Way too many books. If I am on a week-long vacation, I would most likely bring 7 to 10 titles.
📚This is a problem because I always bring physical books with me. Even on an overnight trip, it is not uncommon for me to bring around 3 physical books so that I can read whatever suits my mood at any given moment. 🤷🏽‍♀️

#MayMoms Day 3: I know it is easy to be #Judgmental when one sees the stack of books I just purchased from the recent Big Bad Wolf Booksale here in Dubai. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ohW

#PoetryMatters Day 2: #Pharaoh

#MayMoms Day 2: Dictatorship is #Evil whichever way one looks at it. Today, I share this picturebook that serves as a primer on the face of fascism – written in such an engaging manner that can easily be understood by young readers. This post of mine is also the most political - especially since this book published in Spain features Ferdinand Marcos, Filipino tyrant. And now, his son is running for President. Despicable. https://wp.me/pDlzr-okQ

#PoetryMatters Day 1: #Phantom

#MayMoms Day 1: Because #Readers prefer books above everything else. Found this shared on social media and it speaks #Truth.

#PoetryMatters Day 30: #Pegasus

#WeRemember Day 30: A gorgeously illustrated picturebook of #MayaAngelou‘s poem, “Love‘s Exquisite Freedom.” Check out my review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9ZQ

#WeRemember Day 29: #CicelyTyson

#PoetryMatters Day 28: #Peck

#WeRemember Day 28: I just realized I put #StephenSondheim for Day 26 😅 - so here is my belated Day 26 where I featured #DavidBowie‘s book club booklist organized according to themes: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hq7

#PoetryMatters Day 27: #Pearl

#WeRemember Day 27: Quite a number of books written about #Prince, apparently. 👑🤴🏾

#PoetryMatters Day 26: #Peak

#WeRemember Day 28: Evidently, #StephenSondheim was a genius!

#PoetryMatters Day 25: #Peach

#WeRemember Day 25: #HermanWouk is another author I absolutely have no idea about. I am learning a lot through these daily prompts! Shows me that I am definitely not reading enough. 🤣😭🤣📚📚📚

#PoetryMatters Day 24: #Peace

#WeRemember Day 4: #MaryHigginsClark is another author I have yet to read. So many novels, so little time. 🤣😭📚
