19+ Books By Muslim Authors To Add To Your #MuslimShelfSpace In 2019

2018 was a great year for books by Muslim authors. Beginning with Love, Hate And Other Filters by Samira Ahmed and ending with A Very Large Expanse Of Sea by Tahereh Mafi, both books were completely unapologetic about the experience of growing up as a Muslim-American teen in post 9/11 America and rightfully claimed their spots on the New York Times Bestsellers list.

Going into 2019, I completely underestimated just how many books by Muslim authors we get to look forward to! As always, this list is not exhaustive but it’s a good place to start if expanding that #MuslimShelfSpace is one of your new year’s resolutions. And what better way to welcome in twenty nineteen and celebrate two years of an incredible initiative than with plenty of books to add to your already brimming bookshelves?
