Women’s Deception and Delusion in Daphne du Maurier’s Don’t Look Now
The works of Daphne du Maurier capture more than the mind of the reader; they cast a spell on the very soul of those who read just one of her entrancing stories. She is able to carefully omit information to create mind-blowing conclusions that are so skillfully harmonized. Her novels and stories were written over several decades when women were not expected to be at the forefront of a story, yet her collection of short stories profoundly tend to focus on a female lead. Du Maurier’s short stories “Indiscretion”, “Kiss Me Again, Stranger”, “La Sainte-Vierge”, “Spilt Second”, and “The Blue Lenses”, though different in context, share a common theme. From cheating to murder, ghastly encounters to the in-between, and all forms of hallucinations alike, deception and delusion dominate du Maurier’s works collected in her book Don’t Look Now.

Alice Who Are YOU?
What makes a good bedtime story? Something that involves people, places and possibly situations that we would not normally encounter. To encourage children to envision things beyond their own experiences. To spark imagination.

Wild About Food
When I read this challenge, Bedtime Stories, I knew I was all in for this one. As you can see my photo cover is one of my favorite children books. Where The Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak has inspired a movie, an opera, song, and the imagination of generations. I just realized that this book was written the year I was born. No wonder I love it so much. This book has won the highest award a children's author can receive called, Caldecott Medal. I will come back to this most popular book of all times after I share a little about my other two top favorite children's books.

The Crane
Although I already lived in the other world children inhabit as a child, reading was my favorite place to escape. Fairytales, lands far away, fables, myths were my favorites. The versions of stories told as they made their way from country to country fascinated me. One that has always stayed in my memory is this; a Japanese folk tale beginning with those well-worn words:

MY 1st book review
Book Review : Changes By Sheldon Pearce I always liked TuPac and his life. I felt like there wasn't a lot of information about him ( well it was ,but it wasn’t very nice about him because they made him turn out like he was the bad guy and showed that a lot of people turned on him even the ones that said that was cool with him.)

A tribute to the works of Seamus Heaney.
I hated poetry as a youngster, and even more so, when I was a school girl, because my old-fashioned Grammar School English teacher made it so boring and inaccessible. I avoided poetry at all costs at university, until I couldn't any more, and then I actually found myself loving 'abstract poetry' of all things. (Check out the works of Wallace Stevens. Loved them!)

Ekushey Book Fair 2021 & Pandemic
Book fair during pandemic & the future of publication industries When I am abstained to the work, no way to breath, sigh of being gasping then my subconscious mind gives me reminder that I haven’t been reading book from two to three days. There is no substitute for books to revive the mind just as it takes oxygen for the body to survive. I think like that. Books make a latent relationship between the body and mind. Matching the life we live, the passing time. For this reason perhaps Rabindranath Tagore said “Books are a bridge between the past and present”
