Lady and The Tramp. Top Story - August 2023.
In this heartwarming romantic mythology, an adequate re-telling of the 1955 invigorated time-honored Story, Lady, an overachieving, pampered American Cocker Spaniel house dog, and Tramp, a formidable but charming, fast-talking stray, embark on a spontaneous adventure and, despite their dissimilarities, cultivate nigher and come to apprehend the significance of home.

The Inheritance Cycle
Christopher Paolini began writing this series at the age of 15. A fantastically created world of magic, dragons, and Eragon, the last dragon rider.

Rap
Where did you learn to write poetry? I read a lot of poetry. That's true. More often, I listened to rap. While I like most music, rap will always be one of my favorite genres. It has taught me more than rhythm and rhyme. It’s taught me about the world.

The Mandibles has Bite
"The Mandibles" by Lionel Shriver provides a chilling glimpse into a dystopian economic collapse that feels more like reality every day. It delves into family dynamics amidst chaos while managing to explain complex economic principles in a novel format. Bleak, thought-provoking commentary on economic seediness under a gloss of lies.

ONLY BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN CORN FIELDS
Should come with a trauma warning. Ten years after reading it, I still look at cornfields with the violent suspicious that pedophiles and murders are lurking amongst their eerie stalks.

All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Stop talking to Murderbot about its feelings. It hates it. While Murderbot resentfully keeps its scientists alive against hostile monsters, questionable corporations and bad guys, the story quietly explores free will, identity, and the awkwardness of existing.

The Decameron
Was this perfect for our times? Bought during COVID-19; read at home with quarantine measures and online work around me; glided along the hundred tales (some going too far; others far too simple); respected this classic collection written during its own plague years.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
As the title says- unfortunate events never cease. The book (and movie) begins with a chilling yet memorable opening line, cautioning not to expect a happy ending. The audience experiences hopelessness alongside the protagonists as the story hits hardship after hardship.

"Our Eyes Will Be On Coraline"
An eerie tale with an uncertain outcome. She's a child bored out of her mind in a new home, lacking her parents' attention. Relatable. Unfortunately for her, she gains her "Other Mother's" attention instead.
