I wish more people knew about these 4 books from my English degree..
1. Why Don’t You Stop Talking This collection of short stories explores topics such as lesbian relationships, mental health, illness, phobias, and loneliness. This collection is characterized by a downbeat tone, but there are moments of humour scattered throughout it. My favourite story is the Kafka-esque ‘Shell’ where a woman is forced to grow a shell to survive- completing her transformation by turning into a tortoise. Overall, it is well worth the read and there are images in this collection that I still think about years later.

A Boy and His Dogs
When I say that “Where the Red Fern Grows” has been on my TBR pile for a long time, I mean a long time. I remember ordering this book out of a flyer that was sent home during elementary school. Needless to say, it has taken me over twenty years, but I finally decided to sit down and give this book a try. I was filled with nostalgia and emotion as I read this touching tale of the love between a boy and his dogs.

My Thoughts about ‘Day Tripper'
Things are getting more fun and interesting in this community, which is called the ’Book Club’- one of the new categories in Vocal Media. First things first, I love graphic novels. I know I have such a unique taste different from others depending on whatever I like. My first challenge for the Book Club category was a little tricky with only between 300 or more words. At least I did my best. It's okay that I'm still trying.

A thing about social media
So I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, one thing lead to another, and I had to ask her to check up her crush which she mentioned during our conversation on IG to know him better. But she told me she is not following him on Instagram, and I asked why,( because we tend to stalk our celebrity crushes on SM) she said she’s really not in social media, because she doesn’t want to feel oppressed and pressured by what people post, having to compare her life with others, she is trying to avoid over thinking, seen who is making it and who is not.
