She Wrote Stinkers Too - Revisiting & Revering Agatha Christie
I would not be the prolific reader I am today — in fact may never have discovered my love of reading so early in my youth — if it wasn’t for one particular genre that pulled me in as a boy of ten — Mysteries.

Rachel Reviews: Diamond Star Halo by Tiffany Murray
There are some books, for whatever reason, that just manage to find their way into you more than others, like a tattoo and they become part of you in ways that others don't. These are your five star reads, where you finish reading and yet, the book remains in your consciousness afterwards AND whilst you have moved on to other reading material.

Arachne
Arachne In a story, there will most likely be a person with no gratitude. Otherwise known as a person who doesn’t give thanks for what they have; they don’t even take for granted. They take for their own ability, not someone else’s. In this story ``Arachne`` by Olivia Cooldidge, the main character, Arachne, was the person with no gratitude.When Arachne had an opportunity to weave and dye she was better than her father, and she didn’t give any credit for her skill to him. All she did was say that she got the skill from her practice. Therefore, taking her skill for granted, Arachne was turned into a spider. Arachne’s character traits lead to her eventual fate because of her selfish, and ungrateful actions, her rude emotions, and her dramatic emotions.

Rachel Reviews: Ildri & The Echoes of Trees by Krystal Bailey
Krystal Bailey is a good writer. I know that from having read her previous book A Clearer Sky, which I also had the pleasure to review. She is, in all senses of the description, a great storyteller.

With Success Comes Failure
The city life where all the normies live isn't the life I want. I want to be happy, I want to not feel so overwhelmed day in, day out. I have these two severe ear infections I can't listen to my music today in highly stressful situations until I couldn't do it. I put on my Bluetooth against my better judgement. The noise was to intense for me.

Rachel Reviews: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods
It's always telling how good a book is if you are able to read it quickly and that was the case for me and The Lost Bookshop. It was a really nice novel, which in itself, sounds like a fatuous and trite assessment of something which doesn't really have a lot about it at all.

[Analysis] Are Audiobooks Reading?
"Are audiobooks considered reading?" It is a question that arises in the debate circles of reading sites and groups on and off throughout the year, typically in response to a new reading challenge being administered. It is a question always phrased in such a way that those who like audiobooks will be offended, those who loathe them will be rallied to defend their position, and those who don't care will feel the need to add their two cents into the mix. Often, the question will devolve into a debate on the validity of print books versus electronic books (ebooks) versus audiobooks and the initial question is never answered, let alone discussed beyond the first few comments. It is a question, it seems, that is designed purely to spark debate rather than to encourage an answer.
