To me Nora Robert's has done it again with another series of books that are romance based but more family centered. In the first of a series 'Night Shift' is all about Cilla O'Rourke who is a radio DJ working the night shift. One night during her request line calls a man calls to tell her that he is going to kill her. A few nights later she meets a detective named Boyd Fletcher with the help of his partner Althea and others who will do anything for her, but at the moment Cilla is not sure, but Boyd will stick by her whatever may happen.

The Lightkeeper's Ball
Colleen Coble has written 'The Lightkeeper's Ball' that is a historical romance that has a lot of historical references. This is a novel that takes place at about the second decade, the 1910's of the twentieth century. The main character of Oliva Stewart is a woman who wants to know the culprit who killed her sister in the time that everyone thought that Halley's Comet was going to destroy the world. At this time some people bought a scam known as comet pills that were to protect people from the poisonous gasses of the comet. Other inventions were the aeroplane and common use of the telephone. She uses her official title of Lady Devonworth instead of her real name. She thinks she knows who killed her sister and she also wants to find someone to love that wants her and not her money. To me even as a male reader was interesting even just for the historical parts.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Homo Narrans Vs. Phono Sapiens
Peter Ayolov, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” Abstract This article examines the contemporary shift from storytelling as a shared, dialogical practice to storyselling as a performative, market-oriented mode of self-presentation. Drawing on Byung-Chul Han’s book The Crisis of Narration, the analysis argues that narration has lost its primary social function: the creation of a common symbolic world sustained through reciprocal exchange. Traditional storytelling depended on at least two participants and unfolded as a movement back and forth, producing memory, cohesion, and future-oriented meaning. In contrast, storyselling treats narrative as a one-directional instrument for selling identity, success, or visibility, reducing listeners to passive consumers. The article situates this shift within broader transformations of digital capitalism, self-optimisation culture, and communication coaching, showing how conversational depth is replaced by predictable, strategic self-branding. The loss of genuine conversation is presented not as a stylistic problem but as a structural erosion of social bonds and shared meaning.
