Happy Arab American Heritage Month 2026!
It’s Arab American Heritage Month, and we’re celebrating with books starring protagonists of Arab descent, authored by writers of Arab descent, or both! For even more recs, check out last year’s post. Middle Grade Fiction Wallflower by Iasmin Omar Ata For as long as Marlena can remember, she has seen flowers growing on everyone she meets: personalized poppies and daisies and roses of every color…
thank you all again for making WALLFLOWER a best-selling book!! if you hadn't seen, WALLFLOWER was on USA Today's best-selling booklist (jan 28th) and i'm so amazed that happened!! thank you to all who have read the book and spread the word!! 🌹🌺🌸🌼
What a fantastic ending. These last four pages are incredible, genuinely wow.
Decent comic. I liked it well enough. Couple of pages I had beef with, but overall it was a good read.
Iasmin is officially 3 for 4 so far on their Sonic comics. Issue 87 and 88 don't count because they're co-written by Stanley.
I liked the Winter Jam, I liked the Knuckles story in the Anniversary, and I liked this. The Crossworlds comic sucked ass. Perfectly satisfactory track record.
The art was absolutely gorgeous from start to end. Thomas Rothlisberger always knocks it out of the park.
8/10 I liked the panel where Tails and Eggman were about to kiss.

Last, current, next
Book Rec of Djinn . . .Jinn. .. Jinni. . .
Rated on how likely the jinn would be my friend
The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah- Qadir is the jinn with the largest role and I cannot decide if he would find me mildly amusing or mildly annoying. Either way, he would probably not be talkative and not view me as a threat or a priority.
5/10
The Daevabad Trilogy by SA Chakraborty- While the term djinn is a controversial one in this world, there are plenty of djinn to choose from. Nahri might be my friend, if she didn't see me as an easy mark (which is very likely). I would very much enjoy her company if she didn't have her defenses up. Ali would probably find me interesting as a human and ask me a mixture of interesting and boring questions. Both would care if I died, unlike Dara, who wouldn't care if he accidentally caused my death.
6/10
A Master of Djinn by P Djeli Clark- I don't want to cause any spoilers but our main djinn would absolutely find me adorable, if not easily manipulated. We could definitely have a few fun nights for sure.
7/10
This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi- Alizah would 1000% defend me with her life and successfully save it, but I am uncertain how receptive she would be to friendship, considering how guarded she is. I, however, would absolutely put in the effort for her.
7.5/10
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir- If I remember book two correctly, I would absolutely never become friends with this jinn. And I think they would actively want to kill me.
0/10
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker - Ahmed would not be friends with me and be very very rude to me, although he would not kill me. I would rather be friends with Chava, the golem instead. We would be besties.
1/10
Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata-
Majan is a delight and I think we are likely to get along fairly well, although certainly not to the extent Nayra and Marjan have bonded. But we could tell each other stories and reignite some of the spark in each other's lives, encouraging exploration and connection. A fun and emotional time!!
8/10
Have you read Mis(h)adra (2017) by Iasmin Omar Ata?
