Beginner Library

Getting back into reading seriously now that I’ve graduated college, so this is what I’ve slowly accumulated over the years! I use Libby and Kindle Unlimited too so lowkey on a book ban til end of year.

Some books are hidden in the back because I have no space 🤷🏻‍♀️

Books, Cats and Moving

We just moved and now… we have to relocate again 😭 Poor books have barely settled into their new home before they wll have to be packed up and moved all over again 🥲

It's still a work in progress, but Im loving how the colourful books look next to the piano..and of course, the cats had to inspect everything first. 😂

Anyone else constantly moving their books around? Please tell me Im not alone 🥲 and if you've recently moved in the UAE, any recommendations for a reliable moving company that handles books carefully?

Iwould also love to see your bookshelves/book corners! ❤️

Selling Heroes of Olympus full collection

I bought the set to read but only ended up getting through the first one, before getting busy with school. And now I'm moving out for university.

I haven't even opened 4 of these books, and would love to give them a new life instead of trashing them.

📍AUH - Available for pickup.

DM if interested

philosophy books

Hello!

I was just wondering if anybody has second-hand Western academic philosophy books (e.g Kant/Schopenhauer/Descartes/Aristotle) that they'd be willing to sell, or if they know a place where I could get them for cheap.

Islamic Books 📚

​

Hi peeps! Hope you’re all doing well

I’m looking for some Islamic books in English. I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for — I just want something that helps me understand Islam better and brings me closer to Allah.

I’ve just finished reading Timeless Seeds of Advice, and someone recommended Don’t Be Sad, so I’m planning to read that next.

So now I’d love to hear your recommendations! What Islamic books have genuinely helped you understand Islam, strengthen your iman, or bring you closer to Allah? 📖🤍

Also, if anyone is selling their Islamic books, please let me know. I’d be happy to buy them from you!

And lastly… Kindle or physical books? 👀

Should I get a Kindle, or are you a member of any library that has a good collection of Islamic books? If yes, which one, and roughly how much does the membership cost?

Would love to hear your recommendations and experiences!

WTS - Moving out of Dubai — books need a new home

We're leaving the UAE at the end of August and I'm down to the part of packing where you look at a shelf and admit you're not taking all of it on a plane. So — Dubai people, these are looking for a home.

The one I'm genuinely sad about:

New Portable Architecture (SANDU Publishing) — AED 100

Large-format hardback on mobile and temporary structures: pavilions, pop-ups, modular cabins, festival and exhibition builds, with plans and photography throughout. English text, retails around 190. One corner of the cover is bumped and creased — photos show it, and that's why it's 120 rather than more. Pages are clean and unmarked.

If you're an architect, a designer or a student, this is a reference you keep on the desk rather than read once. I'd rather it went to someone who'll actually open it than to a recycling bin.

The rest — 8 books, AED 60 for the lot:

- Think Like a Rocket Scientist — Ozan Varol
- The 10-Day MBA — Steven Silbiger
- The Man's Guide to Corporate Culture — Heather Zumarraga
- Practical Presentation Skills — Brandt Johnson
- I Don't Want to Die Poor — Michael Arceneaux
- Get Off Your F**king Phone
- The Da Vinci Code — Dan Brown
- Tangle Art Pack — Beckah Krahula (drawing book plus a sketchpad)

Mostly business and self-development with a thriller and a drawing book in there. Normal shelf wear, no water damage, nothing falling apart, no annotations.

Happy to split the lot if two or three of them are what you're after — just say which.

Everything together — AED 150.

I'm on Palm Jumeirah. Pickup is easiest, but I can meet somewhere sensible in Dubai if that works better for you. Cash or transfer, whatever.

And if nobody wants the eight, tell me where the good book-swap shelves in Dubai are — I'd rather pass them on than bin them.

Anyone read My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante?

Would anyone be interested in a buddy read of My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante?

I’ve had My Brilliant Friend on my to-read list for a while, and I think it’s finally time to start it.

I picked up the HBO series and it honestly stayed with me for a long time. I loved how intense, emotional, and complicated Elena and Lila’s friendship was, so I really want to experience the story through the books now.

Genre: Literary fiction, coming-of-age, historical fiction

The story follows Elena and Lila, two girls growing up in 1950s Naples, and their friendship as they deal with family, school, jealousy, ambition, class, love, and everything that comes with growing up.

Would anyone be interested in reading it together? We could keep it really relaxed, agree on a few chapters at a time, and just check in to share thoughts, reactions, favorite moments, or theories.

Anyone in?
