“The Vanishing Half” by Brit Bennett
A complex and multi-layered story, Brit Bennett’s “The Vanishing Half” examines the complex relationships between race, family, identity, and individual decisions. The narrative takes place in the made-up town of Mallard, Louisiana, which is peculiarly fixated on light skin. The lives of African American identical twins Desiree and Stella Vignes, whose paths diverge greatly, are framed by this environment. The book explores how their decisions impact not just their own lives but also the lives of their offspring over the course of several decades.

The Enchanted Library. Content Warning.
In the heart of the quiet town of Eldoria stood a peculiar building, known to all as the Enchanted Library. Its ancient bricks whispered tales of forgotten lore, and its creaky doors beckoned those in search of more than just books. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting shadows on the cobblestone streets, a young girl named Elara hesitated before the library's imposing entrance.

Ten Books You HAVE to Read (sometime)
In no particular order, I present to you...... TEN BOOKS YOU HAVE TO READ (Sometime) - By RubyRed Quick note: I've written some genres, my thoughts and then the blurb (no spoilers, I promise!). I've tried to find the blurb that you'd see on the back of the book, but some of them I've had to get off of GoodReads or the product description of Amazon. Most of the books I actually physically have which is good in terms of finding info about them ect.

Seasons Readings
'Tis the season to be gift-giving, and there is nothing better than giving someone a great book. Or receiving one -- I love getting books. I am something of a book hoarder curator. I love the feel of turning the pages of a good book that you feel you can't put down - even to take that delicious sip of your favorite beverage. The idea of curling up in front of the fire in a comfortable chair as you lose yourself in another world, I think is one of the best gifts you can give to someone.
