Book Review: 'Tuesdays with Morrie'
Tuesdays with Morrie is a novel based on the experience author Mitch Albom had when reconnecting with his old coach, Morrie, who is about to pass. Full of life lessons and understanding of what the world has to offer, this novel is one to really make you consider answers for how to make it through. This book made my heart tear by thinking about death. That sounds odd, but it is true—it is bound to happen, so why not do it with love?

Book Review: 'Alice'
Before I get into the summary and review of the story, I do want to discuss the content that lies ahead can be triggering for some people. This story is centered on a sexual-assault survivor-based story, so approach ahead at your own discretion.**

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 12)
I have to admit that I for one am having a great time recommending you all really good books to read. As I have said a million times before, if you get just one new book to read from these lists then I have done the best I can do, and that was exactly my goal. Reading isn't just about reading, it is about experiencing a book, living a book, and sharing that experience with others if it is particularly poignant.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 11)
You are probably now wondering why I'm still carrying on with these lists, but as I have said before—I will carry on as far as I can. I would like to share with you all the great books I've read. There's a lot of books out there, and there's also a lot of books I want to share with you.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 10)
We are now at the tenth part of this series, and though this is a good round number, don't think we'll be ending with this part. No, we'll be moving on to part 11 very soon. For now though, I want you to appreciate how far we've come. We've been through everything from Ancient Greek plays to 19th Century Philosophy, from John Milton to Jack Kerouac and beyond, we've come from the 20th century and made it into the eras of the BC centuries. We have literally been here, there and everywhere when it comes to literature.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 9)
So, we're on Part 9 of our journey into literature, and I really hope you've been keeping up with the reading! I'm joking, I only expect to give you at least one new thing to read, and if from these nine lists (so far!) you've gotten one new book to read, then I have done a perfect job. The reason why I make these lists really is because I don't really have anyone to talk to about books, and so I just write things about them.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 8)
As we get on in this list, I hope I have at least suggested you one new thing to read that you wouldn't have if not for these lists here! If you've been following, you would've read the following seven parts by now (and if you haven't then click the links!)...

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 6)
As we make our way through the further parts of this series, you may see some of the books becoming more and more obscure. If you haven't checked out the previous section (which is ripe with 19th-century European stuff!) then click here to do so.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt.5)
There are still so many books to get through, and as we speak I have created more and more as a part of my list that is ever-expanding. I love this journey you're coming on with me through various books that you should definitely add to your reading list for those you want to read before you die.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 4)
If you haven't read the previous part to this then I suggest you do so by clicking here. We are now on part four, which is numbers 91-120, and I would love that, if you're following along with these, you tell me what you think of the books so far. I'm trying to keep a range of old and modern texts in there, so that it doesn't become monotonous. But then again, reading a good book or two is very rarely monotonous.

10 Types of Literature
Over the course of literary history, we’ve developed incredibly diverse ways to share the experiences, dreams, and stories that make us human. With storytelling continually being shaped and shared in different lenses, we’ve had no choice but to create new literary categories that stretch our imaginations and allow us to deliver new and exciting narratives to captivate audiences. Long gone are the days of Charles Dickens and Great Expectations, and with such a wide array of literary forms existing, it can be overwhelming, and even confusing, to figure out what niche our stories might fit into. That's why detailing 10 prominent types of literature that pervade our literary canon and inspire us to share our stories gives us the means to define all of the stories that will someday be told to the world.
