FIVE PRETTY PINK NOVELS FOR YOUR PINKTOBER TBR
Eiyo Fadneiras,
Welcome back to Fadima Mooneira. October is just around the corner. October is a festive month for bookworms worldwide. Yay!!! So, are my fellow bookworms excited for October? In October, the bookish online community hosts many readathons. Some of the readathons are Spooktober, 24-Hour Autumn Readathon, Owntober, and Pinktober.
So which readathon are you participating in this October? I decided to participate in Spooktober. I already listed some dark fantasy, dark romance, and thriller novels on my October TBR. In fact, I just finished my first Spooktober read yesterday. Hehehe ^_^
Pinktober stacks from Fadima Mooneira
But in this post, I want to recommend books for Pinktober instead. I’ve been participating in Pinktober for the past 2 years. And these are the books I’ve read for the past Pinktober readathons. So, if you want to join the Pinktober readathon and are still looking for pink books to read, here are my recommendations…
PS: Please read this post till the end. I have good and daebak news to share with you all. Or at least, read this post till the fifth recommendation >_<
#1 GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN BY BEA FITZGERALD
This Hades-and-Persephone-inspired romantasy novel is the pinkest book I’ve read and have on my shelf. Not just the cover is in shocking pink. But the spray pages are also pink. Whoa!!! But don’t be tricked by the pink color. This book is not 100% girlish. Btw, pink is not only for girls. Hehehe! In Girl, Goddess, Queen, Persephone is portrayed as a badass goddess. Hades doesn’t kidnap her. She jumps into the underworld herself. Persephone is tired of her overcontrolling mother, Demeter, and her bossy father, Zeus. Huhuhu… the way the author portrays Persephone in this story makes Girl, Goddess, Queen a good choice for Pinktober.
#2 HELLO STRANGER BY LISA KLEYPAS
Black and pink are always a striking combo. Any object with the colors black and pink will always look eye-catching, just like this action historical romance novel by Lisa Kleypas. Like the recommendation above, Hello Stranger also features a strong-willed and badass female lead. Yup, Dr. Garrett Gibson is a female lead that most female readers love to look up to as a role model. She is beautiful and elegant, yet strong and independent. Btw, this character is modeled after a real person, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. She is the first female physician in England. Whoa!!! Hello Stranger is definitely a good choice for Pinktober, guys ^_^
#3 SUAMIKU PALING SWEET BY ANJELL
Suamiku Paling Sweet is a Bahasa Malaysia contemporary romance novel written by Malaysia’s bestselling novelist, Anjell. This novel is Anjell’s second book. In Suamiku Paling Sweet, Anjell shares her point of view on love, marriage, relationships, and life. It's so mature. This author is really beyond her years. And this makes the novel a good choice for the Pinktober readathon.
#4 HERO SEORANG CINDERELLA BY ANJELL
Black & pink combo with sparks of fireworks. Stunning! This bestselling romance novel is not just a modern-day Cinderella fairytale. The story is also about family, kindness, and forgiveness. I like the moral values that Anjell applied in her writing for Hero Seorang Cinderella. The moral messages that she gave to her readers are also well-said and clear. Hero Seorang Cinderella is definitely a good Pinktober read.
#5 SARANGHAEYO NAMSAN BY FADIMA MOONEIRA ^_^
And last but not least, here’s my second novel, Saranghaeyo Namsan. Hooray!!! Btw, some of my friends are nicknaming this novel Pinkilicious. Hehehe ^_^ Besides romance, this Pride-and-Prejudice-inspired romcom is also about family, friendship, and chasing dreams. It’s a very inspiring and feel-good story to read. Saranghaeyo Namsan features a strong-willed and ambition-driven female lead who is memorable to all FMU fans. Alhamdulillah. I’m grateful that my readers like Maya Juhara. Btw, Maya Juhara is the elder sister of Yasmeen Aizura (the female lead in my latest novel, Manchester Epiphany). Saranghaeyo Namsan is geared towards bookworms (the story is about books), literature buffs, K-pop & K-drama lovers, foodies, and travel enthusiasts. I believe everything that I shared in Saranghaeyo Namsan makes this novel a good Pinktober read. And the good news is, I am having a Daebak Sale for Saranghaeyo Namsan right now. Yay!!! For the Daebak Sale, Saranghaeyo Namsan is selling for RM25.00 (original price RM35.00). And don’t be surprised. There are only 10 copies left of Saranghaeyo Namsan. So if you’re interested in Saranghaeyo Namsan and wish to join Maya on her adventure, grab the novel now while stocks last. To purchase Saranghaeyo Namsan, click on this link >> SARANGHAEYO NAMSAN DAEBAK SALE.
Okay, so these are my top five recommendations for the Pinktober readathon. And I hope you have a good readathon and a cozy season.
Before I end this post, let me ask my readers 2 related questions...
1) What is the pinkest book you have read and have on your shelf?
2) And what makes the novel pinkilicious to you besides its cover?
Okay, this is all for now. I’ll see you guys again in my next post. Insya-Allah. Take care ^_^
XoXo.

PINKILICIOUS POST ON FADIMA MOONEIRA

Great post! I never knew about Pinktober readathon, Spooktober etc. before! I already read a lot of pink books in September, aigoooo 😂 ~Maddy
ReplyDeleteUhuuuu... all these readathons are created by British book lovers. October is a bookish month for all book lovers in the UK and four-season countries. Sebab tu byk readathons in October. Btw, ada lagi tak stock buku2 pink atas shelf you? Hehehe :P Kalo ada byk lagi, boley continue baca. Pastu boley share list of buku2 pink you baca during September and October dekat your Bookstagram. If not, baca sahajalah stock buku2 seram yg hang ada. Keukeu!!!!!!
DeleteAda lagi buku pink, tapi kena selongkar shelf pula. Yang dah ready bersusun kat sebelah katil I tanpa perlu selongkar shelf ialah novel2 horror. Hmm, looks like I kena baca horror kot for this month 😅
DeleteSince October is Halloween, why not? >_< I pun decided to do a Spooktober readathon this month. Cuma I x baca novel2 horror lah. I nie kan penakut >_< I pilih novel2 dark romance, fantasy, and thriller for my spooktober read.
DeleteI've not heard of Pinktober but I'll always read anything about Hades and Persephone so thank you for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteHave a good reading month, Lisa ^_^
DeleteI had no idea there were so many readathons in October, and I have not heard of Pinktober before. I love the cover of your book, and I am intrigued by the plot of Girl, Goddess, Queen.
ReplyDeletePinktober is quite a famous readathon in the book community. It's to honour breast cancer awareness month.
DeleteThis readathon sounds like fun! Great recommendations and I'm excited to get back into my reading this month.
ReplyDeleteOctober is a good month to start again. Yay!!!
DeleteI'm unable to answer either of your questions, as I don't think I've ever read a pink book. I think the last two books I read were black, but that was a long time ago. Is Daebak some sort of special day or festival where you live?
ReplyDeleteDaebak is a Korean word for amazing ^_^
DeleteThese are good recommendations!! the first book sounds insteresting to me since I'm into romantasy , romantic fantasy, and fantasy romance right now. I'm going to do 2 personal reading challenges this month one is about finsihing a book in 3 days and one is a month long challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Awesome! Have a good reading month, Wafa ^_^
DeleteAs a person who is always busy with work and family, aku memang tak pernah ada masa nak buat readathon bagai. Memandangkan bulan 10 ni bulan halloween, aku rasa aku akan baca novel Ilham Mazalan, Penunggu Pulau Salik. Novel tu aku beli last year kot tapi sampai ke sekarang masih x bacanya lagi. Maybe now it's time.
ReplyDeleteBtw beb, so sorry of what happened with Manes. Aku pun terkilan kot dgn apa yg mereka cakap dekat ko. Minta maaf aku tersilap suggest publisher dekat ko :'(
-Lynna-
Anything by Ilham Mazalan will be a good Spooktober read. Btw, he is one of my author friends. Hehehe ^_^
DeleteIt's ok about Manes. I've decided to move on. X mo kecewa lama2 sgt beb. And btw, ko x bersalah pun ok. You gave your best help. Thank you, Lina. I appreciate all the support and love you give <3 <3 <3
Aaaaaawwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always knew you're a strong and good person. In this case, Manes is the one who at lost. You are going to be a star beb! Insha-Allah aku yakin ada penerbit yg lebih baik sudi collab dgn ko utk SIBF nanti. Teruskan usaha. Kami di sini sentiasa menyokong dan mendoakan,
DeleteWah!!!!!!! You kenal Ilham Mazalan juga! Novel dia yg Kota Romantika tu best giler!
Aamiin. Tq for your doa, Lina ^_^
DeleteActually kan babe... I x pernah lagi baca novel Ilham. Novel2 dia semuanya vibes seram. I takut :P
Huhuhu. Aku pun x sure lah sempat ke tak aku nak baca novel Penunggu Pulau Salik tu. Baca The Defender by Ana Huang pun masih merangkak ni hah.
DeleteWow!!! You tengah baca The Defender eh? Best x? I got that book on my shelf. But have not read it yet. Btw, The Keeper keluar bulan nie. Uhuuuuu....
DeleteQuite cool enemies to lovers read. Cuma aku kurang suka sikit the male lead. Pada aku The Striker lagi best. Aahhh hujung bulan ni The Keeper kuar. Sebab tu aku nak baca The Defender cepat. Aku harap The Keeper lagi best daripada The Defender lah. Btw, aku dengar The keeper ni last book dlm siri Gods of The Game ek?
DeleteYup. Gods of The Game cuma ada 3 buku sahaja in the series. So The keeper is the final book in the series.
DeleteThanks for the recommendations! I will definitely second Girl, Goddess, Queen, it was such a fun read!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the author portrayed Persephone. Badass and know what she wants.
