MY NOVEL!
The Exes (Penguin Random House, 2024) is a romance novel that can be described as Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl! It’s an opposites attract love story of Karim Malik and Zara Khan, and it’s the representation I wish I had access to when I was younger. The Exes has a big fat South Asian wedding, a sassy anonymous blogger and a swoonworthy romance, and it also incorporates deeper themes of gender inequality, racism and cyberbullying. This is the British Gossip Girl of my DREAMS!

how to gain TRUE CONFIDENCE | building self-esteem, self-worth, glow up
Переглядів 53814 днів тому
This video is linked more onto internal states for building confidence (self-esteem, self-worth, getting comfortable with discomfort) rather than physical confidence (which would centre more around: fake it till you make it, taking care of your physical appearance etc). These three tips have really helped me to take BACK MY POWER as a person and start focusing on MYSELF with confidence and a st...

This video came across my recommended page. I've had the dream to write and publish a book for a long time, but for a long time as well I told myself all these excuses to not even start the process. In actuality I was (and am) just scared to be rejected. Writing feels so personal to me, that I imagine that having your book rejected feels like someone stomps on your soul. The fact that you had the courage and perseverance after being rejected 3 times really inspires me! In the past I think I would have looked down on you, upholding my fantasy of writing a book in the future and it immediately being a bestseller. I was holding on to that ego part, because I was and am so scared to actually do it and be rejected. Now that I've started to write, I actually look up to you and see how you are further down the process that I've refused to go on because of my fear and ego. Because this is so touching to me at this stage in my life, I perceive you as very brave and inspiring. You've gained a subscriber! Good luck on your journey! (English is not my native language, so excuse my writing mistakes)
I’m an adult baby with too strong opinions, no filter and a ✨glowing✨ attitude, u think I could cheat? U think someone wants me? 😭😭😭
Thank you!
Can I ask for the name of the study? I would love to read it
Real
I feel this so much.
Sis you inspired me again to start a you tube channel . I was just thinking to start a you tube channel, but couldn't take action .I think its time to take action. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It’s definitely time to take action! You can do it 💪
@@AnamIqbal tnx
100% relatable 😄
What habits have helped you to break free from fears about what people say so you can live more authentically?
Love this video! All these habits are really going to help me
What?! Its a tragedy? Do tell, I can't take tragedies 😅
Thanks for the suggestions!
Facts!! ✨
Its definitely important to put in time for yourself even if you're WFH! Thanks for remembering and including that part in! 💖
👀👀
Circe has such a gorgeous cover! 🧡
Obsessed with it in every way ❤️
Lol the book stroke😂
That’s so real.
Almost threw my custom personally made slow damage visual novel book remake at a huge spider last night!!!
Bookish folks will UNDERSTAND the need to protect our precious books at all costs 😅 (it honestly gives me horrendous anxiety whenever any of my books are at risk of being damaged. I cannot stand it when I’m travelling with a paperback and it starts curling around the edges 😫😅)
Me too on the book curling! 😢
@@rebekahfunches6876omg it’s truly the worst! Makes me not want to take my books out but I literally HAVE to carry at least one book everywhere I go 😅
i love this so much, thank you for sharing your tips! i've always had a love for stationary/journalling since i was a child but as i've gotten older i've definitely felt blocked around this practice. i'm someone who's been wanting to journal and occasionally i will, but hearing your passion for the practice has me so inspired! i believe you when you say this has changed your life and i think this was a video i needed to see! 💖
Thank you SO much for your lovely comment! It meant so much to read it. I really hope you reconnect with journalling and find peace and joy in it! Sending lots of love & light your way Xxx
Stop being perfectionism and not to overload yourself is really important! Being productive and at the same time don't put too much stress on yourself... I love your make up! You're like glowing. Thanks for the video💜
Yes, indeed, it's so important to not overload yourself! Thank you so much for your lovely words, I really appreciate them! Xxx
Could you work a video separately for each instance, such as one for peer pressure or one for appearance ?
Yes, of course! I'll try to film these videos sometime soon. Thank you for your comment!
Are you Indian? There’s Indian accent or Indian region..
What has helped you to build your confidence?
I’ve always been a bookworm and I love that it’s now considered to be cool because of booktok and booktube. I think I would’ve loved to grow up in this age 🥹
I'll scroll for awhile here and see if the vibe matches up with what I'm looking for! I love it when people are this into what they're passionate about! 😃
It's really helpful ❤, I wish you to achieve everything you want
Thank you so much! Such a lovely comment!
I’ve been struggling with productivity recently, these are some good tips that I’m going to try and implement!
everyone struggles once in a while! Try some of these tips and see how it goes!
What keeps you going whenever you feel like giving up?
Thank you so much! This was so helpful ❤
Thank you for your lovely comment!! It’s so amazing to hear that you’ve found it helpful ❤️
What has helped you to become more productive and focused in life?!
This should totally be a show 🎉❤
Hello Anam, don't know if you remember me, I emailed you once I finished reading The Whyte Divide by yourself. Just came across your UA-cam channel and super happy and cannot wait to read your recommendations. Btw I am currently reading The Exes and Gurl I think you smashed it again x ❤ please could this be turned into a show.
got it today and i'm currently still at the 'sick freak' part at ch5
Currently reading The Exes and I love every single bit of it so far! I love the details, the London feeling, the story, the characters-everything! Could you sign my book please, Anam? 🥺🙏🏼 Also, will there be a book 2? 👀
cruel prince series kinda boring

Will be reading all of these 😊
They’re all great reads! 😄
A good girls guide to murder was sooo worth the hype it was wonderfully plotted and written
Absolutely loved it! So many epic twists and turns 👏🏼

I would love to buy it! What age group is it for??
I always love hearing people talk about their favourite books. Great choices! I’m also a big Sally Rooney fan 😀
Yes exactly! The sole reason I started a UA-cam channel was because I just loved hearing people talk about books and it inspired me 😆 Sally Rooney’s writing is just incredible!
You just gave me more books to add to my 'to be read' list
Time to add another book to my tbr that i know damn well will make me even more broke than i already am 😋😭
Peace & quiet in my room while I read? Literally my fave thing ever 😌
