REVIEW BOOK "THE DEVIL OF NANJING – THE HORRIFIC HORRIBLE OF CRIME"
The wounds of war have always been a topic that makes any reader feel pained with indescribable emotions. More than the war crimes that have appeared in historical documents, The Devil of Nanjing does not simply recount the barbaric acts that the Japanese committed during the war in China in the forties of the previous decade.

REVIEW BOOK"THE CASE WITHOUT A MURDERER – INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTALLY, KILLER OR VICTIM".
OVERVIEW Consisting of 7 short stories, in which The Case Without A Murderer is the title for the entire collection, as if it captures the content that author Higashino Keigo puts into each story, and also captures his spirit in many works throughout his massive writing career. That a case without a murderer is not simply a case that is not a murder. But from many angles, going deep into the motive of the crime, the murderer can also be the victim in their own story. Or because, there is someone who intentionally builds a case without a murderer.

Book Review: Gharanas of Indian Music by Sadakat Aman Khan
There are books that inform, books that document, and then there are books that quietly reshape how you think about an entire art form. Gharanas of Indian Music by Sadakat Aman Khan belongs firmly to the last category. It feels less like a reference manual and more like being personally guided through centuries of Indian classical music by someone who has lived, breathed, and inherited its nuances.

REVIEW BOOK"THE SECRET OF WATER": WATER - THE PUREST HEALING
What makes Earth different from other planets in the solar system is the existence of life, an important part of which is the presence of water. Water has been around for a long time, even before humans, and although it is always present in daily life, few people realize that water has extraordinary healing power, much superior to other healing methods. Water is not only a source of life, but also contains endless knowledge that mankind has yet to fully discover. It is a great secret waiting for humans to come and explore.

Rachel Reviews: Thrive in Chaos by Jace Parker
I loved this book and everything that it sets out to do. I spent my time reading it, sagely nodding at the good sense contained in it and reflecting on how experience shapes us into the people we are, not always for the better in some cases.

book review: Trail of the Lost by Andrea Lankford
There is a lot to be (positively) said about “Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail” by Andrea Lankford, which is jammed with information, readable, and tackles the tangled complexity that is searching for lost people in the wilderness. There are no neat answers because this is not a neat situation. While this can be frustrating to some, it’s reality and reality is sometimes very frustrating and uncooperative; which is well reflected in the text. If you’re interested in nature, true crime, and/or wilderness rescue, this is a good read satisfying in its thoroughness without being winded or dry. It’s not your usual true crime or hiking book which is its strength; the biggest strength being the author’s ability to not be constrained to any singular field and in the connections she makes.

The Diary of a CEO
Building Lasting Success from Radical Vulnerability Amid the nonstop noise of entrepreneurship advice, it’s rare to find a business book that feels truly personal, honest, and unvarnished. Steven Bartlett’s The Diary of a CEO is not just another manual about climbing the corporate ladder or assembling a “winning routine.” It’s built from pages of real struggle, introspection, and the unglamorous emotional reality behind entrepreneur culture. Bartlett’s journey redefines success: it’s not just about money, accolades, or the highlight reels, the true prize is found along the messy path of self-awareness, connection, and authenticity.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
My first encounter with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was nearly 30 years ago, during the long shifts on the Briggs & Stratton factory floor in Mayfield, Kentucky. I was in my first year at Murray State University, ostensibly there to learn in classrooms, but it was during those moments, fighting the mind-numbing repetition of the assembly line, that the first seeds were planted of what would become a lifelong journey of self-education. This book was a cornerstone in fueling that hunger for growth and knowledge. Since then, I’ve revisited its pages at least 15 times and passed it on as a gift many dozens more.
