INORITE. In my head there's this imaginary series of awesome books that has a heroine-in-hijab (who is not even a little oppressed, thanks much) who is snarky and clever and quick witted and big hearted and so fierce. She gets into startling adventures and fights evil and deals with djinn and sandwalkers (if she's from, say, Saudi Arabia) or Hantu Pusaka and Toyol (if she's Malaysian). And it would be awesome and I would devour a pound of chocolate while reading this books and I would not be able to sleep until I'd finished them.
But, alas, no. They don't exist (I don't think). :(
My only comfort is that while I can't write all the things I'd like to see, I can at least try to include or feature some of them in the things I do write.
