Book Fair
Over the years, it was impossible for me to have one favourite book because I have read so many. During my youth, my interest in reading increased, exposing me to various genres such as fantasy, mystery, horror, thriller and historical fiction. Since I am a history buff with a huge imagination, many of my favourite books were set in various time periods, written in different eras or had fantasy/fairy-tale elements to the story. I started becoming interested in dark novels when I was 17 years old. My aunt recommended a dark, puzzling, historical mystery novel that I ended up purchasing from the book store. After reading just a couple of chapters of The Name of The Rose by Umberto Eco, my love for mystery and dark literature began. After The Name of the Rose, I started exploring more dark, mystery, thriller and gory literature.

Why Read The Queen Collection?
Inspiration is Everywhere The Queen Collection is a series of short stories that are drawn from everyday life experiences. I find inspiration while pumping gas, smelling a fragrance, observing a conversation, or by watching those around me interact. A common question I get from my readers, is where do I get my ideas from. I get my ideas from everywhere. Inspiration through my own life experiences, vicarious experiences, and random stories that just pop into my head.

To all Harry Potter fans
I will never forget the firat time I saw the boy with the glasses on screen , it was “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone“ . I had the movie poster hanged on the back of my bedroom door, and just fantasized of receiving the admission letter at the age of ten. I became a fan by watching the films first, then I turned to the books just as the forth book was being published worldwide.

Who Is The Lesser of Two Evils: Stephanie Meyer or E.L. James?
Insecure young girl with big dark eyes falls for a vampire who wants to kill her. Insecure young girl with big dark eyes falls for a rich bachelor who wants to beat her. These are the brief summaries of both series that created a cultural phenomenon for very different audiences; “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer, the one for insecure teenage girls, and “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James being the one for insecure sexually frustrated housewives. Much has been said and parodied about these two pieces of fiction. The questions I’m asking are, is the criticism valid, and if so, who is the lesser of two evils?

Book Review: "American Fire" by Monica Hesse
A well-structured and well-written novel regarding the fires to rage across small-town Virginia, USA - Monica Hesse proves her ability to make every point of the case, fires and background a point of interest and something you require in order to put together these chain of unfortunate events. From the extreme power plays, to the exhausted volunteer fire crew and even to the history of this 'vanishing land', Monica Hesse leaves out no detail in making us understand that this book is about more than just starting fires and that this crime was about far more than just arson.

Review of 'The Library of the Unwritten'
Synopsis In the first book in a brilliant new fantasy series, books that aren't finished by their authors reside in the Library of the Unwritten in Hell, and it is up to the Librarian to track down any restless characters who emerge from those unfinished stories. Many years ago, Claire was named Head Librarian of the Unwritten Wing-- a neutral space in Hell where all the stories unfinished by their authors reside. Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto. But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil's Bible. The text of the Devil's Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell....and Earth.
