Starting With #1
I grew up learning to count to 10, and that verbal climb seemed so steep and difficult to master! Later I went to 'Saturday School' for catechism, and learned there were 10 Commandments. (Later still I saw that they had been made into a movie, and the publishing of these commandments were pretty complicated. That's a different thing altogether.)

Why did it rain for millions of years in prehistory
There was no heavy rain for millions of years in prehistory. This was fabricated by some completely unprofessional self-media to scare people’s attention. Generally speaking, "heavy rains of millions of years" refer to the Carnian flood event in the middle and late Triassic period. This was actually a major turning point in the global climate from drought to humidity, but it did not mean "rainfall". "Millions of years of rain", but the global climate was relatively humid for millions of years, with frequent rainy seasons and floods. To understand this, we have to start with the climate of the Triassic. The Triassic Period began 252 million years ago. It inherited the distribution pattern of land and sea from the Permian Period. Almost all the land on the earth was put together to form Pangea. From the Early Triassic to the Middle Triassic, Pangea became closer and closer, reaching its peak in the Middle Triassic about 240 million years ago.

How to write a book review
Other readers will always be interested in your opinion of the books you've read. Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them.

Rachel Reviews: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
So, I have just finished reading book two of the ACOTAR series as it is known for short (the modern world loves an acronym!), which is taking the world by storm; one that has been raised with immortal magic, no doubt.

Exploring the Boundless Worlds Within Books: A Journey Through Pages
Unveiling the Magic of Imagination: How Books Transport Us to Other Worlds Books have an uncanny ability to transport us to realms unknown, to unravel mysteries, and to ignite the flames of our imagination. Within the confines of their pages, we encounter heroes and heroines, villains and victors, and traverse landscapes both fantastical and familiar. The magic of literature lies not only in the stories it tells but also in the worlds it unveils—the boundless landscapes of the imagination that stretch far beyond the limitations of reality.

Talks About Death. Content Warning.
The subject of death is something we all like to avoid. We don't like talking about it too much, and this often leads to a falsehood that we are somehow immune to it if we avoid the topic. We see death every day, on our many respective screens, and while it is not as often that we see young death, it happens quite a bit as well.

Rachel Reviews: A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler
I had heard good things about Anne Tyler and as I am unsure as to whether I had read her before or not, I thought I would give her a go. This is the reason I write reviews: to keep a record of what I read and try and embed them into my brain. I'm still not sure if I've read her previously or not but I will certainly read her again.

Rachel Reviews: A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon
I can remember reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Haddon's debut novel, and being struck by it. Sometimes you read books that are extraordinary and unlike anything you've ever read before. And then, I read a book of short stories by him which I enjoyed but a friend, to whom I had recommended them, pointed out to me were all about death and for some reason, I shied away from his fiction for a bit.

Rachel Reviews: The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop by Lewis Buzbee
I love books in all their forms and this is something that Lewis Buzbee and I have in common. If I had to have a preference, it would be a paperback with thick paper pages and a cover that takes some creasing. But I'm not fussy.
