Review of ‘Winter, White and Wicked’
Winter, White, and Wicked is one of those novels you want to love because it has such an exciting premise. Labeled as a novel that is both parts Frozen and Mad Max: Fury Road, the reader, expects a high tension, action-packed, emotional ride of a story. Instead, it falls short in many ways.

10 Great Non-Fiction Novels I Have Read in 2020
I have read a great set of non-fiction novels during 2020 and in this article, I want to share some of those with you. The influence for writing this article came from seeing others posting about great non-fiction books they had read and taking inspiration from other recommendations on my Goodreads and social networking accounts. Non-fiction has been on the rise for me lately since fiction and especially fantasy fiction have moved unfortunately further and further away from my to-be-read lists. It was something I could appreciate far more when I was a teenager. Since I became twenty-one, I’ve wanted to read more and more non-fiction and not just true crime, there’s historical non-fiction, there’s biography and autobiography, there’s philosophical non-fiction and essays etc. I’ve been reading a lot of non-fiction lately and this year has been my most prominent year for the genre. Hopefully, you too can get some recommendations from this list and if you’ve read any of them (or all of them) then that’s even better. I would love to see your lists of recommendations as well!

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.
