Mia thought college would be her reinvention arc. Instead, sophomore year starts with public humiliation, unresolved body image issues, a deeply concerning dependence on iced coffee, and a library floor incident that nearly results in her dying of embarrassment in front of an annoyingly attractive stranger. Jesse was supposed to be temporary. Just a cute guy in the library with suspiciously nice hands and an emotionally stable response to chaos. Unfortunately, he keeps showing up. Between late-night study sessions, campus concerts, awkward flirting, hockey games, disastrous attempts at becoming "effortlessly pretty," and Mia's ongoing war against her own brain, the line between friendship and something much more dangerous starts getting blurry. Funny, messy, painfully honest, and full of the kinds of moments that feel small until they change your life forever, Better with Time is a story about growing up, learning how to take up space, and realizing some people don't just see the version of you that you're trying to hide.

Every contest turns into a battle of intelligence and pride. But when circumstances force them to work together for a prestigious national academic competition, they slowly discover that behind the arguments and competition are two lonely teenagers carrying enormous expectations. As friendship begins to replace rivalry, feelings neither of them expected start to grow. Can mathematics and science finally find a common formula for love? Or will their stubborn hearts remain unsolved?

When journalist Clara Bennett lands her first job in a busy newsroom, she expects ordinary stories and tight deadlines. Instead, she's given a single assignment: find a library that officially doesn't exist. No records. No location. Only rumors. People claim they've seen it. Some say they've been inside. None of their stories match. As Clara begins to investigate, the details start to shift. Sources go silent. Clues disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more the story begins to feel... wrong. Because this isn't just a place that's hidden. It's a place that shouldn't be found. And once it finds you- you might not find your way back.

Sara was a quiet girl with a simple routine, spending her evenings inside a small public library near Rose Street. But after one rainy afternoon, two very different boys begin to notice her. Her life had always followed the same quiet rhythm. Perhaps that's why fate chose her. Arin. Careless, unpredictable, and impossible to understand. Ivaan. Calm, disciplined, and unreadably quiet. Because not every rivalry begins with hatred. Sometimes, it begins with the same girl. And somewhere between rain-soaked evenings, unfinished feelings, jealousy, and quiet moments that linger a little too long... someone is bound to get hurt. In the end, Sara must choose between the comfort of certainty and the pull of the unexpected. But when love arrives with the rain, the heart doesn't always follow reason.

This is book 2 of The Night Library. This book CANNOT be read as a standalone. It WILL spoil book 1. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some doors are not meant to be found again. The library is gone. Whatever remained of it has slipped beyond reach, leaving behind only silence- and the uneasy sense that something has not been left behind at all. Isla should have answers now. Instead, what she carries is heavier: fragments that don't fit, truths that refuse to stay buried, and the growing certainty that the story didn't end where it was supposed to. Because something has shifted. What was once hidden begins to surface in ways it shouldn't, and the deeper Isla is pulled into it, the more the world around her begins to fracture. As if something is trying to find its way back. And this time, it isn't alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Please do not upload any part of this story to AI or language-processing platforms.

Amy Rhoades has been appointed her book club's newest president-not by choice, though. She isn't much of a leader, but the previous president-and best friend-insists that she takes the position for the better of Amy's personal goal; to be manager of the cozy bookstore she works at. As the panic sets in, she realizes she needs the help of a certain comic book geek she didn't have a great first impression with. She needs to learn how to be more confident and assertive-that's where Finn Fischer comes in. He's the snarky yet passionate comic shop attendant who's hesitant to join some cheesy book club, but Amy offers to help him win the heart of the club's vice president, Juliet. They need to save themselves from the nerves brought upon them, and be their own heroes for themselves and each other. As the meetings go by, they start to see themselves outside of their novel covers and really intertwine their stories. There's certainly a great amount of twists to their usual routines ever since they met, like joining a gushing book club and enduring endless superhero references, but it's okay because they'll get what they initially wanted in the end. Right?

I never thought I would be responsible for starting a rebellion. I run a library, drink too much caffeine, and listen to my assistant, Reggie -who happens to be a raccoon- talk enough for the both of us. Life was simple, if not a little lonely at times. Then Queen Calista outlawed reading and writing in Kovaria. Now one of my closest friends is trapped in the largest country in Etherys. Books are forbidden, knowledge is dangerous, and independent thought is treated like a crime. So with the help of people from all over Etherys, we are risking everything to keep not only people, but stories alive. We call ourselves the Underground Tea Society. The tea trade is booming after all, being sold by the crates on massive ships... that may or may not be operated by the occasional pirates.

بين رفوفٍ صامتةٍ تنام فيها كتبٌ أقدمُ من أعمار أصحابها، تتهامس فيما بينها وتسترقُ السمع،رُفِعَ الكِتابُ المُختار ليكون الوسيط بين عالمين مختلفين. هي لم تكن تبحث عن أحدٍ، بل عن النسخة التي أصبحتها دون أن تلاحظ،عن نفسها الجديدة التي تبدّلت مع تبدُّلِ أوراق الشجر. وهو لم يكن يبحث عن الناس، بل عن ذلك الشيء الذي يُكبّلُ كاحليهِ ويُخرِسُ استغاثاته المطموسة تحت قناعٍ نُسِجَ بإتقان. كل مرة كانت أعينهما تمرّ على العالم، لم يكن العالم الذي يتبدل،بل تلك العدسات الخفية التي يضعانها دون أن ينتبها، والتي تعيد تشكيل الأشياء وترجمتها وفق ما تركته التجارب في الداخل. وفي مدينةٍ تزدحم بالخطى التي تعرف وجهتها ولا تفهم دوافعها، كانت المكتبة وحدها تقف كأنها خارج الزمن؛ مكانًا لا يُطلب فيه من الإنسان أن يكون أحدًا، بل أن يصغي فقط لما لم يُقل بعد،أن يسمع ويرى ويتعلم من صفحاتٍ حُشِرت بين قشرة ورقية هشة. بين رفّين متقابلين، كانت هناك رسالتان لا تنتميان إلى نفس اليد،لكنهما وجدا طريقهما لبعضهما.

Hana doesn't speak much. She just reads. Every Thursday, she sits in the corner of Alif Corner behind her niqab, a hazel notebook in her hands and eyes that have carried more silence than words. Rayyan owns Alif Corner. He doesn't speak much either. He just notices. The way she sits in the same spot. The way she holds a book like it's the only thing keeping her steady that day. So he starts leaving notes in the books he sets aside for her. He never signs them. He never approaches her. Hana doesn't know who writes them. But she keeps every single one, folded carefully like a treasure, Because after a betrayal that left her heart guarded and her name spoken in whispers, these small, unsigned words are the only things that make her feel seen again. Rayyan doesn't know she keeps them. He doesn't know she rereads them on the nights her own home feels heavy. He only knows that her calm deserves to be protected, not disturbed. What begins as silence slowly becomes something else. A connection built in glances, in shared books, in prayers whispered at 2 AM. It's not fast. It's not loud. But it's real. This is a story about a love that never needed to be spoken. About patience that outlasts doubt. About two people brought together by qadr, when neither of them was looking. But some promises aren't meant to last a lifetime in this dunya. Some are meant to leave a legacy that does. It begins with a note left on a shelf. It ends with a heart that learned to trust again - even after goodbye. ••••••• " Threads of Qadr In Love " is a story about healing in quiet places, about faith that holds you when you can't hold yourself, and about love that doesn't need to be spoken to be felt. #1 in niqabi - 14.05.2026 #1 in bookshop - 01.06.2026
