Novel
"Basketball Diaries" The Book
Jim Carroll's 'The Basketball Diaries' takes readers on a slam dunk journey through the chaotic court of addiction. It's like a literary crossover between 'Hoosiers' and 'Trainspotting,' with a dash of slam poetry. Beware: may cause literary dribbling and emotional three-pointers. Just don't try shooting free throws with the pages.

The End Is The Beginning
Mitch Albom’s imaginary tale of the afterlife, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, illuminates five lessons, bringing new meaning to living, dying, and purpose. The plot craftily zigzags between present and past. A true psychological suspense that leaves you wanting more of his stellar dialogue and less overwrought description.

War & Peace
The Russian word "mir" (peace) has another meaning - "world, society." While translating the novel's title as "War and Peace" is logical for juxtopposition, Tolstoy's main goal was to show how war affects the world. It is Natasha's love and life story in the context of war, peace, and society.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace-A critique
It didn't matter when we found out what happened to Aaron. I thought it was self-inflicted.Wanted more of Ryan. I hated that we didn't get to find out how their relationship worked since that was laced through the book but got skipped to them together and with an accidental pregnancy.

The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert-A critique
We had no idea where Lydia and her girls were going.What happened to Harald apart from the live streaming of his character? Hans' relationship felt forced, there were hints but nothing really.Did Cherry still create the business she wanted or did she go back to being HR at the academy?

The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura-A critique
I loved that they overwrote each other's memories, had moments of honesty, and were destined to be together and fought too.Handled online bullying and other topics well. I want the story on Lex and Sierra. I wish she got pregnant to start their family and overwrite their experience with Hannah.

Kokushinsan: Shadow of the Mountain Prologue - Childhood
Below the sharp, snow-covered peaks, an ocean of golden barely bent and ripples traveled among the fields. A dusty veil helped make those labyrinths of rock, ice, and snow seem a distant world. Up in the thin air of the Himalayan mountains, work was tedious and the yield was difficult, but at times like these, it was a better life, even in the shadow of Kokushinsan.

The Enchanted Telescope
Once upon a time in a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, lived a young boy named Oliver. Oliver had always been intrigued by the stars, the moon, and the mysteries of the universe. Every night, he would lay on the grass in his backyard, gazing at the vast expanse of the sky with wonder in his eyes.

Imajica
Imajica is a fantasy set across a universe of five connected dimensions one of which is our planet Earth. It is my favourite book and I never want it to end, so I have it on Kindle and restart it when I finish. Majic, Fantasy, Sex, Love, It has everything.
