Various Thoughts

So, wearing a different hijab every day for a week was fun. Hope you enjoyed my pictures!

I’ve been working on my writing, slowly but surely. I had six chapters finished, then I changed events in chapter 3 which then everything else had to be changed as well. That’s alright though, because what I originally wrote didn’t really fir the character.

Eid al Adha is coming up soon, and I was hoping to make myself a fancy ribbon top to wear, but I probably won’t have time for that. Maybe something else, though.

I started re-reading ‘My Name is Red’ by Orhan Pamuk, it is so beautifully written. I’ love it. Though, to be honest, I did not like it when I tried to read it last year. For some reason I didn’t realize each chapter is narrated by a different character. So I set it aside for a while and finally went back to start over. I’m so glad I did.

Taken by the Title

I’m browsing amazon, looking for a couple new books to read. I love vampires and supernatural stuff, romance, historical fiction to name a few. I searched for ‘vikings’ and I could not help but laugh at some of the titles:

“Taken by the Viking”

“The Viking’s Defiant Bride”

“Ravished by a Viking”

“Virgin Slave, Barbarian King”

“The Viking’s Captive”

Poor vikings, always being stereotyped as barbarians and ravishers of women. I think I might give Taken by the Viking a try, because for some reason, I was taken by the titled.
