Book review: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
There are books that entertain, books that intrigue, and books that cast a shadow over your imagination long after you’ve turned the final page. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle belongs, without a doubt, to that last category. I recently revisited this timeless classic and found myself once again spellbound by its foggy moors, mysterious legends, and the razor-sharp deductions of Sherlock Holmes.

Book review: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
When I first opened A Study in Scarlet, I wasn’t quite prepared for how distinctive and gripping the experience would be. This novel, penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, marks the debut of one of literature’s most iconic figures: Sherlock Holmes. As a reader of mystery and detective fiction, I’ve encountered countless iterations of the brilliant sleuth archetype, but returning to the origin point in Doyle’s foundational work reminded me why Holmes remains a timeless figure in the genre.

Why Orwell's 1984 Still Hurts To Read?
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength" (George Orwell) For once in everyone’s life, we have questioned or tried to relearn the meaning of everything we are taught about. The meaning of love, reality, freedom, friendship, free will, and sometimes going beyond all of that, you tried to rediscover your own self too. Most of this happens when you are faced with different outcomes or circumstances than what you have been taught. For example, you have learned your whole life that doing hard work will lead to success, but it seems to be totally opposite in your case. The harder you try to get something, the deeper the well you fall into, and the questioning phase starts.

Why Your Love Style Could Be Sabotaging Your Relationships: An Eye-Opening Journey Through Attachment Theory by Amir Levine and Rachael Heller
I'll be honest with you – when I first picked up this masterpiece about attachment theory, I thought I was just grabbing another self-help book that would tell me the same recycled relationship advice we've all heard a million times. You know the type: "communicate better," "be yourself," "love yourself first." But what I discovered between these pages completely revolutionized how I view relationships, not just romantic ones, but every meaningful connection in my life.

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.

Shine, Girl!
There was a time when she believed she could do anything. As a little girl, she would stand on rooftops and talk to the stars. She dreamed of singing in front of thousands, of writing books that made people cry, of dancing barefoot in the rain without anyone telling her to come inside. She was wild, curious, and full of light.

Book review: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
It’s not often that I find myself so haunted by a novel long after I’ve closed its final page, but reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë left me with a lingering intensity that is difficult to shake off. From the very first chapter, the book plunges into a moody, brooding atmosphere that seems to wrap itself around the reader like the Yorkshire moors it so vividly describes.

The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson: Comprehensive Review
As a parent who's weathered countless meltdowns, bedtime battles, and those inexplicable moments when my normally sweet child transforms into what can only be described as a tiny tornado of emotions, I thought I had tried every parenting approach under the sun. Then I stumbled upon this groundbreaking book, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it completely transformed how I understand and interact with my children.
