Egg & Spoon. Top Story - August 2023.
To say that I have been in a bit of a reading slump lately would be an understatement. For whatever reason, perhaps burnout, stress, or just a general sense of apathy, I haven’t been overly motivated to read (or I simply lose my focus after a few short pages).

The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov
I didn't understand myself when I was growing up in the 'not so rich' Caribbean neighborhood of Waterloo (aptly named, because every year during the hurricane season, the Heavens opened up and rained down so much water, it washed the road and some houses away). Only later did I learn that we were living directly below a sugar cane 'plantation' where water was redirected as a runoff for the crop. Luckily, our little house was perched safely upon a questionable hill which barely kept us safe.

balance of nature reviews:The delicate strands of life on Earth
balance of nature reviews:The delicate strands of life on Earth are woven together by nature in a magnificent tapestry. Nature exhibits an unmatched diversity, from the high, sky-touching mountains to the tranquil, flower-filled meadows and the deep waters alive with enigmatic animals. Each plant, animal, and element plays a crucial part in this symphony of interrelated ecosystems. We are reminded of the beauty and tranquility that nature provides by the soft rustling of leaves in a forest, the calming sound of waves breaking on the coast, and the vivid colours of a sunset. Nature offers us critical supplies, clean air, and a haven for reflection and recuperation in addition to its visual appeal. Preserving and valuing nature becomes more important as we live in a contemporary environment.

I’ve written a few book reviews, but they were more on the long-form side to fit work as assignments for when I was in my MFA program. And while I’ve wanted to continue writing book reviews, my brain has supplied me with many distractions and worries to keep me from digging into serious book reviewing.

We have all likely been guilty of buying or keeping books we know we will probably never read, and maybe never intended to read. I know I have certainly been guilty of this! And you certainly are not alone, it seems much of society prefers buying and having books over actually reading them. Indeed, one survey found that an average of half of the over one hundred books in an average home go unread.
