"Kitabat" is Arabic for writings. Picking a name for a book is definitely more challenging than I thought it would be. You have to look into having the name resonate with its contents, make it catchy and a bit dramatic for that whiff of pizzazz, and (most importantly) it HAS to contain a part of you within its spirit. The name Kitabat simply checked these boxes for me. Because, at the end of the day, this book is just that: a bunch of my writings. A bunch of Kitabat.
