2016 is the year I begin to pick English novel again after so many years leaving them behind. As soon as I begin I have discovered so many amazing authors that I have not heard before and their books are really wonderful. And then, I step into a bookish community through Twitter and Instagram, I discovered more and more YA novels written by Muslim author! It's awesome! I am so excited to read their books and get my hands on their books. They certainly need to get all the hype in which they deserve. For that, this year I promise myself to read more books written by the Muslim authors.
