Make Change That Lasts by Dr Rangan Chatterjee
Summary Making Change That Lasts by Dr Rangan Chatterjee is a user-friendly combination of knowledge and practices which intend to set people free from behaviour patterns that can damage their lives. ''Reliances'', as the book argues, are patterns of behaviour and activities that we use to avoid pain actively, even if it is in the form of consuming junk food relying on coffee or seeking approval from others. Chatterjee brings in the perspective that such habits are not merely the existence of these but are often caused by affection and psychological needs. The book offers how poisonous attitudes are not mere behaviours to be erased but sin sources and the desire for the psychological transformation that can prevent them. In the form of nine habits, the author guides the audience on how to recognize their unknown emotional buttons, and how to change their lives for the better - to become more self-controlled and self-assured.

Rachel Reviews: Super Human by Dan Pouliot
Dan Pouliot's book starts off explosively with an action-filled car chase, with characters fearful and frantic, and the way that the scene is described leaves the reader anticipating much from the rest of the action of the book. It is a great way to begin Super Human and sets it up for what it continues to be: a well-paced novel with tension and mystery throughout.

Stream, Money, Tears, Blood, Lullaby: A Review of "Ru" by Kim Thuy
Two letters, one word, and so many tumbling meanings, Ru by Kim Thúy, is a story as concise and layered as its titular word. Stream, flow of money, tears, blood...these are the translations of the word ru in French; cradle or lullaby are the word's meanings in Vietnamese. It's from this word, ru's, perspective, Kim Thúy takes us on a kaleidoscope journey through her protagonist, An Tinh Nguyen's life. An's recounting of her life story flows between different points in both her childhood and adulthood, beautiful, traumatic, and everything in between. All the while, Thúy's prose is unflinching and hypnotic, like the bloody lullaby in her story's name.
