THE KITE RUNNER
The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini is a poignant and powerful novel that explores themes of betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. Heartbreaking, shattering, captivating, completely and utterly unforgettable. This novel really took me on an emotional roller coaster. It had many unexpected turns, leaving me hooked. It has left me shocked, and shaken, but also satisfied, and in some way at peace I guess. Each character was portrayed excellently. I had a strong hatred for characters I disliked and much warmth for characters I did like. The character development of each character was so deeply and so thoughtfully written. I strongly recommend anyone to read this book.

Le Cirque des Rêves
I had been trying to pick out something to read, and this was recommended by a friend of mine who figured that I would like it. I already owned the book, so I plucked it off of the shelf and nestled down in the chair. Unfortunately, it took me quite a while to finish this one (life just seemed to get away from me), and I think that may have contributed to my overall experience reading this book. I think that I would have been better off if I had committed myself to finishing it right off or putting it back on the shelf until I was ready to commit to it fully.

The Monkey and the old couple
Once upon a time, in a remote village, there lived a lovely old couple. Unfortunately, they didn't have any children of their own. One sunny day, while they were busy planting potatoes in their field, they heard a strange sound. It was someone clicking their tongue in disapproval. Curious, they turned around and saw a mischievous monkey sitting on a tree, giving them disapproving looks. Confused, the old man asked the monkey, "What are you doing up there?" The monkey replied, "You're planting potatoes all wrong! If you want a bountiful harvest, let me show you the right way." The old couple eagerly asked, "How should we plant them then?" The monkey explained, "First, you need to boil the potatoes, then peel them and sprinkle some salt. After that, wrap them in banana leaves and bury them in the soil. Don't forget to mark each spot with sticks so you can remember later." Without a second thought, the old couple followed the monkey's advice and thanked him for his help.
