The Other Half of Happiness | 
pickThis was a sequel to Ayisha Malik‘s first book “Sofia Khan is not obliged” so I feel to get the full context of this book it would be ideal to read that first.. however it‘s nice reading a story that follows on and *spolier alert* ruins the happily ever after illusion the first book ended on
pickI loved her first book. This wasn't too bad but would still recommend.
pickFun. Easy. Interesting perspective on a modern Muslim woman living in London
This book was calling my name at the airport. Have you read it?? Let me know your thoughts 👍
Day 16: #ReadingWomenMonth - We're halfway through the challenge. Whew! We're loving all of the books you are posting. ? On the blog, we have a Q&A with Ayisha Malik of THE OTHER HALF OF HAPPINESS. A quote from the post, "There are so many negative portrayals of Muslim women, I wanted to write about one who felt truer to my own life experience, rather than the ones I see on television, or have read about in books."

I told him to come out so we could get a picture for today's #ReadingWomenMonth challenge, and this is what I got. 😐😅😂 #TheReadingWomen #MuslimWriters #Women_Writers #TheBookCorgi #ReadWomen
pickThis was not at all what I expected. I absolutely loved the first book, Sofia Khan is Not Obliged, but it took some time for me to actually begin to enjoy this one. I almost bailed a couple of times but I persevered and I'm glad I did. Not as awesome as the first, but certainly worth taking a chance on. It may not be for everyone, though.
pickMeet the book the sequel that played with my feelings a little too much, but I still adore it. I can't recommend the Sofia Khan books enough. Ayisha Malik has created an authentic contemporary Muslim perspective through Sofia Khan, and she's added so many endearing characters alongside her. If you want to read more diversely, read the books - they tackle important issues with much heart and humor. ❤️
