The shelf world
"Your personality is known by the organization you keep and by that you stay away from" The above thought turns out as expected on character of an individual, your organization talks your advantage and the philosophy your portion about something, I recollect the colloquialism of well known Persian researcher molana Rumi , "goodness cherished stay close to knower of your heart, walk around the tree having wet roses on." Rumi has a significant way of thinking in this proclamation that whoever knows about the delicacy of sentiments can form your sentiments to better. Very much like when you pass by a wet bloom branch, the drops trickling from it make you fragrant. According to a general perspective, what Rumi maintains that here should be engaged is great organization or this should have been visible supporting the above composed explanation.

A Contrasting Couple of Book Review Haiku
A few weeks ago, I came across Judey Kalchik’s post about creating haiku with the subject of the poem being a book review. 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.

How ‘The Rules’ Gave Me Better Self Esteem. Top Story - August 2023.
When I was younger I had problems getting dates. I kept watching everyone around me coupling up and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me. I’m kind of an open book when it comes to my feelings, so my friends and family would often see me moping about it. They’d dispense advice like that old Supremes song. You can’t hurry love…

~The Book Club!~
August 11th, 2023! The Book Club!

So now it is much harder to find the time to keep up on the reading of the books we’d like to have accomplished within a certain amount of time! And with all the changes in technology it has brought us to a very difficult place and time in our lives, with the awkwardness of what to do about our options around our beloved, glorious habit of books?

Savouring a Personal Feat With The Booker Prize Winners
To say I love reading probably sounds trite and clichéd. Who doesn’t? you might be tempted to ask. However, perhaps I am obsessed with books, both fiction and non-fiction, and so took a keen interest in the British Booker Prize award some years ago. It soon became obvious that only certain people became judges - the known literati - who then chose the books in their own image, likeness and opinions of what deserved to win. Often I gazed wistfully at the growing list of winners wondering when I would see someone like me as a Booker recipient. I just couldn’t imagine how long I would have to wait.
