A Book Series I Will Never Stop Recommending
Favorite book series ever? Well, no. But I feel like there's a lot to learn from them. Each time I read it, I feel like I'm seeing something new. From the critique of its society to its relationship dynamics, it's so rich. I'm always thinking about it after I read it, comparing it to other works. I honestly don't know what it is about this series that has me so captivated. Perhaps it's everything?

The Dead Zone. Top Story - August 2023.
Do you believe that you are born for a purpose in this world; that we all have some sort of fate that awaits us, no matter what other plans we have in mind? The joke is if you want to make g*d laugh, tell him your plans. I wonder about that sometimes, especially after reading another Stephen King novel.

A Controversy: Objectivism
I read this book for the first time in Europe when I was 18, the French countryside whisking by as I drank wine and thought about my adventures. This book opened my eyes as much as exploring other cultures; now, on to the book review. Let me say thank you, Vocal, for this community.

Rumpole and My Unfair Thoughts
It has been said that you can lie all you want in non-fiction, especially in the autobiographical form, but that it is impossible to lie in fiction. This has been an interesting contradiction that allows the reader to learn a great deal about certain writers that those authors may prefer to keep hidden in their own thoughts, not exposed on the bare page. And with this thought in mind, I want to talk about Rumpole of the Bailey.

The Case of Billy Mavreas
Who is Billy Mavreas and why am I writing a review of his book? Two fair questions, of course. They might lead to others, but for now, I will try to answer them for you.

My Thoughts on Sexual Content in Young Adult Fantasy Novels
Sex sells. Any publishing veteran will tell you the same, regardless of their personal views on the subject. But should sex sell in the young adult genre? That is the root issue that I want to discuss today.
