Noor’s Notebook
Tucked away in a quiet corner of a noisy city, 13-year-old Noor lived in a small, crowded apartment with her parents and two younger brothers. Life wasn’t always easy. Her father worked long hours, and her mother, though loving, was always tired. But the hardest part of Noor’s life wasn’t what others could see — it was what she kept locked inside. 🏙️💭

Strange Sally Diamond. Top Story - June 2025.
I picked up this book at the B&N’s Blind Date With a Book display. I loved the entire concept of selecting a mystery book based on a one-sentence teaser. Especially because they were lovingly wrapped by hand and the handwriting must have taken good effort (if they used the cursive it would have been even more attractive). As a public relations professional I think this marketing technique is brilliant, tapping into the book lovers’ serendipitous desire to be surprised with something new.

The Quiet Power of Books
I used to think I hated reading. Growing up in suburban Ohio, books were always something adults forced on me. Summer reading lists, mandatory book reports, and endless standardized tests turned reading into a chore. It wasn't a pleasure; it was punishment. I loved video games, I loved television, but books? Books were just ink on paper—boring, silent, and still.
