New York's Timeless Tales
Few cities have the dynamic personality and narrative power of New York City. Its vibrant society, streets, history, and energy are more than just a setting or backdrop. A long-time muse for storytellers, New York City is a character in its own right. This was particularly evident in two books that I read this year: the contemporary novel Mrs. by Caitlin Macy and the historical narrative The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. In both stories, the city isn't just a backdrop but a vital, living part of the story. Both offer a window into the high society of New York but from different eras and perspectives.

Deciding What to Do?
Lying on the couch trying to unwind from a stressful day at the campus. I thought what to do next, the little morning adventure came to the forefront of my mind. This morning on the way to the campus I took a detour to the dainty bookshop at the corner of the street, looking around I was lost because I didn't have a specific book in my mind, I think Mrs. Bing must have read my expression and recommended me a book assuring me I would like it. Asking her about it she told me the genre was fantasy and the rest is a surprise, giving her a smile I paid for it and told her I will be back with my own opinion about the book. Laughing she told me she would be glad to here that. I think now would be the time to read it and see what I think, grabbing my bag and pulling out the book I made myself comfortable and started reading. The book title is 'Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin'.

An Analysis of Counter-Capitalist Revelations in Franz Kafka’s THE METAMORPHOSIS
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis sheds light on the nature of the dragon-like chimera of capitalism. The private symbol of Gregor’s metamorphosis, the way his family reacts to it, and the perverse euphoria Gregor’s family experiences following his death all paint a vivid picture of conformity to the dictates of capitalism that transform individuals into enablers and victims of capitalism. One of the themes of The Metamorphosis is that since most people have no desire to be confronted with the truth regarding the oppressive realities of capitalism, denying these harsh realities becomes a socially acceptable way of maintaining normality and equanimity.

The Enchanted Library. Content Warning.
In the heart of the quiet town of Eldoria stood a peculiar building, known to all as the Enchanted Library. Its ancient bricks whispered tales of forgotten lore, and its creaky doors beckoned those in search of more than just books. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting shadows on the cobblestone streets, a young girl named Elara hesitated before the library's imposing entrance.

Rachel Reviews: The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit and Other Stories by Sylvia Plath. Top Story - December 2023.
I had no idea that Sylvia Plath wrote children's stories and I'm not sure why this surprised me so much. I purchased this book on a whim in a charity shop, out of curiosity but also because I have not really read much of Plath's work. I'm not sure why that is really. I think that my perception of Plath is of someone battling with depression and so my view of what her work may contain or the subjects that her compositions may be about has been tainted somewhat. I'm not saying that that has put me off but likewise, that assumption may not have drawn me in. I have rectified this by ordering "The Bell Jar" and will report back on my impressions in due course.
