Hi bookworms, I’m offered a wonderful gift from my fiancé to purchase any novels I’m excited to read and I’m so lost in thinking what to buy and would love some help with any recommendations in the comments. Thank you! 💕

Wonderful advise! Thank you so much! 💕
Have u read As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow? If u haven't, u should!! It's a historical fiction in Syria + HALAL rom between the 2 mc. This book opens ur eyes to the diff kind of suffering unfortunate ppl have and is a book everyone should read at least once in their life. Automatic 5 stars from the first 3 chapters. If u do pick As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow, happy reading! And if u dont, gl finding a book!

I would invest in three kinds of books:
- Books that you will be able to study (Islamic sciences, languages, history…), an investment into your future. Pick topics you are interested in.
- Follow up volumes of series you’ve started and whose first books you enjoyed and already own. It’s always great to complete pre-existing collections.
- Books loved by people you love. Reading the favourite book of someone who matters in your life will completely define the reading experience.
All my well wishes to you two 🫶🏼💞
