Recommendation
A Boy and His Dogs
When I say that “Where the Red Fern Grows” has been on my TBR pile for a long time, I mean a long time. I remember ordering this book out of a flyer that was sent home during elementary school. Needless to say, it has taken me over twenty years, but I finally decided to sit down and give this book a try. I was filled with nostalgia and emotion as I read this touching tale of the love between a boy and his dogs.

My Thoughts about ‘Day Tripper'
Things are getting more fun and interesting in this community, which is called the ’Book Club’- one of the new categories in Vocal Media. First things first, I love graphic novels. I know I have such a unique taste different from others depending on whatever I like. My first challenge for the Book Club category was a little tricky with only between 300 or more words. At least I did my best. It's okay that I'm still trying.

"The Haunted House on the Corner of Elm Street". Content Warning.
In a sleepy little town, on the corner of Elm Street, stood an old and gloomy building known as the "Haunted House." Over the decades, the townspeople carefully avoided passing by it at night, and by day frowned and were happy to go around the street corner to avoid seeing the corner of cracked walls and broken windows. The story behind the house said that the place was cursed, that it had witnessed terrible events, and that ghosts and stray spirits roamed the place unhindered. But, as happens in many such places, not everyone believed in superstitions, and a brave young man named David decided to find out the truth about the "Haunted House".

The magic of Eragon
When I was 12, I went to the library and scrounged up this book called Eragon. There was a dragon on the cover and, since I loved dragons (and still do), It seemed intriguing to me. When I started it, it wasn’t very enticing. So, being the quitter I once was, I gave up on it.

Book Review: Promise by Christi Nogle
A young woman confronts her digital doppelganger. A mother and daughter struggle underground, finishing robots for the rich. A loving couple find that their mirrors are very different than mirrors used to be. Your devices sometimes connect not just to the web but to the afterlife. Be prepared for strangeness here. We have several types of aliens, alternate dimensions, virtual-reality writing retreats, time-travel games and time-travel tragedies, cosmic artforms and living paintings, haunted Zoom meetings, and giant worms. These stories reflect the weird and unknowable future. They are often bizarre and dreadful, but they also veer towards themes of hope, potential... and promise.
