Title: "Echoes of Eternity" Description: The story unfolds in a realm where time is not merely a linear progression but a malleable force intertwined with memories. The world-building, while promising, could be expanded to provide a richer understanding of how this unique reality functions. Readers would be eager to learn about the origins of this temporal anomaly, its impact on society, and the rules that govern its manipulation.

Romeo and Juliet
When William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, relatively early in his illustrious career, he did what he nearly always did: reworked a story that was already well-known, and made his version the one that history would remember. The tragic tale of the Montague and Capulet family feud, which seems to have had some basis in fact, was first documented by Italian and French poets from the years 1530 to 1559. Shakespeare worked primarily from Arthur Brooke’s 1562 version, which was the first one written in English. Romeo and Juliet proved popular with audiences and was published twice during Shakespeare’s lifetime, in 1587 and 1599. It then appeared in the 1623 first collected edition.

Book Club: Frankenstein
I fought to defend Frankenstein’s creature as if my own life depended on it. This was during my first read in a high school literature class, before understanding that Max (as I preferred to call him, as he was unfairly unnamed) was essentially an incel and not completely innocent of blame.

Bambi, a Life in the Woods
I am a fanatical fan when it comes to certain creations. A long time ago, convinced that Kathryn Lasky had finished her Guardians of Ga’Hoole series with Book 8, I could not accept that it was all over. Not that The Outcast would have been a bad ending to the series. In hindsight, I almost wish it had been the terminus, but I won’t go there this time.

Books That Changed Me: Tears of a Tiger
When I started one of my grammar elective classes in the sixth grade we read a lot of great books and stories. Early on we started reading a series of books called the Hazelwood High series by Sharon M. Draper. The second book in the series was actually the first book we read called “Forged by Fire”. That book absolutely blew me away and became one of my favorite stories ever and it made Sharon Draper one of my favorite authors. Eventually we backtracked and read the first book in the series “Tears of a Tiger” and this book would not only traumatize me, but changed me as well.

Soul Sisters
My soul sister and I first met in 1988, and we’ve taken such journeys together. In my third year of university, I enrolled in American Literature 1850-1920. As a literature class of that caliber should, it covered authors such as Twain, Hawthorne, Melville, Faulkner, and Alger. One author I was unfamiliar with was Kate Chopin. We were assigned to read The Awakening.
