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.

Rachel Reviews: The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit and Other Stories by Sylvia Plath. Top Story - December 2023.
I had no idea that Sylvia Plath wrote children's stories and I'm not sure why this surprised me so much. I purchased this book on a whim in a charity shop, out of curiosity but also because I have not really read much of Plath's work. I'm not sure why that is really. I think that my perception of Plath is of someone battling with depression and so my view of what her work may contain or the subjects that her compositions may be about has been tainted somewhat. I'm not saying that that has put me off but likewise, that assumption may not have drawn me in. I have rectified this by ordering "The Bell Jar" and will report back on my impressions in due course.

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.

ENGULFED IN THE DESERT'S PARCHED SILENCE, I WAS NOTHING BUT ANOTHER GRAIN OF SAND IN THE WIND. Content Warning.
Intro As I stood in the middle of the vast desert, girdled by the comeuppance parched silence, I could not help but feel small and insignificant. The scorching sun beat down on me, the dry wind whipped against my skin, and each around me was a noway - ending breadth of beach and gemstone. In that moment, I realized that I was just another grain of beach in the wind, fully gulfed in the desert's harsh and enduring geography. The desert's parched silence was both creepy and mesmerizing, reminding me of the power and beauty of nature. And so, I began my trip through the desert, eager to explore and discover all that it had to offer.

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.
