Akram Hosny’s Ramadan series Maktoob 3alaya is gaining a lot of attention as a light, entertaining and funny mosalsal. The series follows Akram Hosny’s character who suddenly wakes up and realizes that something is being written on his arm every morning. He doesn’t know how it gets there or what it means, but eventually realizes that every written message foreshadows something in the day ahead in a cryptic way that leaves little to go on. The messages allude to anything from spilling his coffee to a potentially disastrous encounter, and it’s up to Hosny to put two and two together to get through the days ahead while trying to understand the strange phenomenon. You can watch Maktoob 3alaya on Shahid.

Why it’s important to document your life through the written word: Anna Quindlen’s Write for Your Life urges everyone to write and gives reasons why it’s important to jot your thoughts and experiences down in a way that makes you more human. The New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and opinion columnist has been hailed as one of the “most astute chroniclers of modern life” having written multiple books that explore her relationship with growing older as well as the stories of everyday people trying to get by. In her new book, Quindlen looks at icons such as Anne Frank to Toni Morrison, and love letters written after World War II to journal reflections from nurses and doctors today to underline how writing can be an illuminating experience for yourself and for others in the future.
