Bedtime Books

Welcome to Bedtime Books, a cozy corner where my love for reading meets cherished memories and life-shaping lessons. My passion for books started early, thanks to my mother, who sent us to library camp every summer and had us reading as soon as we could turn the pages. I still remember the smell of a new book, the feel of the pages, and how I’d imagine each character in my own way. My dad also played a role, reading us the Quran and guiding us to ponder the words of Allah. It all rooted in me a love for stories and the wisdom they offer.

​

This love for books is something I’ve passed down to my children, filling their shelves with stories that help them grow and imagine. For Eid, I always gift them something they want, something they need, and something to read. I hope they find in books what I have—a friend, a guide, and an inspiration.

Through Bedtime Books, I’ll share stories that have shaped my journey—books that encourage, uplift, and inspire a life of constant growth, without the pressure of perfection. Join me, make a warm cup of tea, and cozy up in your favorite nook. Let’s share the stories that have impacted us, the books that continue to shape who we are, and the joy of reading that connects us all. Please feel free to share your own life-shaping reads—I’d love to hear what books have touched you!

Current Book

I like to choose books I think I can connect to real-life topics like faith, family, well-being, and self-care. Then I like to discuss how these books are helping to shape my approach to life, parenting, spiritual growth and well-being. Some books are entertaining however, there has to some value I'm gaining from it.
