Rachel Reviews: Little Deaths by Emma Flint
I liked Little Deaths and what it sets out to do. Ruth Malone is a mother and our introduction to her in the start of the book perhaps does not present her in the best light, and in some ways sets the tone of the book: should we be so quick to judge based on what we think we know from appearance and lifestyle?

Harnessing the Hidden Force: Unleashing Your Subconscious Potential
Within each of us lies an incredible treasure house, a limitless source of power and wisdom known as the subconscious mind. This vast, untapped reservoir holds the key to transforming our lives, shaping our reality, and achieving our deepest desires. Joseph Murphy, in the first chapter of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, introduces us to this profound concept, encouraging us to recognize and harness the potential that lies within. He begins by drawing a clear distinction between the conscious and subconscious minds. The conscious mind, Murphy explains, is the logical, analytical part of our being—the one that reasons, makes decisions, and directs our daily actions. It is akin to the captain of a ship, setting the course and giving commands. The subconscious mind, in contrast, operates below the surface, silently but powerfully. It is the crew that tirelessly follows the captain’s orders, executing them without question. This part of our mind is non-judgmental and receptive, absorbing every thought, belief, and emotion we feed it.

Labyrinth
The other day, I watched a video on YouTube speaking about the novel for the film 'Labyrinth' that came out to accompany it. From the moment the content creator started explaining it, I knew I was going to hate it -- hate it with every fiber of my being. The reason for that is that 'Labyrinth' is the only movie I can think of that accomplishes something special and the way the novel was envisioned destroys what the film was capable of. Just by way of research, the novel was written by A.C.H. Smith (the original screenplay for the film was written by Jim Henson, Terry Jones, and Dennis Lee) to coincide with the release of the film. Jim Henson oversaw the novel and it was published with his creative permission.

Rachel Reviews: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I liked We Were Liars. It's a book which is to be respected for the way in which the truth is unfurled throughout the book; in the way that the author keeps us guessing from start to finish; in the way that secrets that divide are dripped into the narrative.

When Women Were Dragons . Top Story - November 2024.
The author, Kelly Barnhill, created a rich and fascinating world that parallels America's history in many ways. I found the book relevant in this 2024 U.S. presidential election season, where misogyny and the continued desire to control women are prevalent. The populace in the novel bans the discussion of dragons and does their best to ignore the facts of any metamorphosis.

Introduction Practice differs from habit, and reading is an extraordinary practice that while may seem commonplace in our text-saturated world, is far from being an average practice: it is transformative. Reading is an extraordinary dual process that first and foremost transfers knowledge but also develops our brains, influences our emotional needs, and expands our view of the world.

Beyond the Covers
Chapter 1: The Secret Book Club The small, rainy town of Hartwell was known for its cozy cafes, vintage stores, and misty forests, but hidden from the public eye was a gathering of book lovers who called themselves Beyond the Covers. Unlike any ordinary book club, Beyond the Covers wasn’t just a group of friends meeting to discuss novels over tea. It was a secret society with a mission: to uncover hidden messages and mysteries concealed within the pages of classic literature.
