Recommendation
Little Book, Big Message
Is it possible to look back and pick defining moments in our reading lives? I was nearing the end of college, probably about the time many get obsessed with new jobs and new relationships. Some are starting families and just cannot find the same amount of time to read. I think I was one or two bad books from watching more tv and reading less.

Y.A. Fiction Isn't Just For Kids
Nothing can quite describe the joy of walking through the Junior's or Young Adult section of a library when you're a kid. Moving up at last from picture books to chapter books is a heck of a milestone: for once you feel grown up, sophisticated, not like the babies sitting in a circle for story time and hand puppets. It's a feeling that can't quite be explained, and once that magic is gone it's almost impossible to recapture it.

On the Outside. Top Story - August 2023.
No, I did not live a life filled with rumbles and small-town crime and golden sunsets. Nonetheless, S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" is one novel that always manages to draw me back, especially when I'm reminded of my "outsider" ways myself.

THE LOST VOICE
In the clamoring city of Harmonia, voices streamed like an orchestra, winding around together the energetic embroidery of life. Yet, one morning, a frightful quiet plunged upon the city, taking away every voice. Frenzy and disarray held the roads as individuals attempted to talk, just to track down quietness consequently. Outsiders looked at one another, their eyes wide with skepticism, incapable to convey their contemplations.

Growing up, if I wasn't playing outside, in school, or doing homework, you could bet you'd find me curled up somewhere, reading a big book. I don't know when I decided I wanted to write stories, all I know is one day in middle school I began to write stories of my own.

Echoes of the Lost Path
In a quaint village nestled amidst the embrace of towering mountains, a spirited boy named Liam flourished. With a shock of unruly chestnut hair and eyes as blue as the heavens, Liam was a bundle of boundless energy and insatiable curiosity. The villagers adored him, charmed by his infectious laughter and captivated by the stories of his forest expeditions. He had an uncanny knack for weaving tales of enchantment and mystery, a gift that both enthralled and bewildered those who listened. Liam's favorite haunt was the sprawling forest that skirted the village, a lush expanse teeming with life. Towering trees, their ancient branches a tapestry of stories, cast dappled shadows upon the forest floor. It was here that Liam spent countless hours, his feet tracing paths unknown, his heart racing with every whisper of the wind. One crisp autumn morning, as golden leaves fluttered like confetti from the trees, Liam gathered the villagers around the town square. With a sparkle in his eyes and an air of solemnity, he began to speak of a secret path he had stumbled upon during one of his expeditions. "It's a path unlike any other," Liam proclaimed, his voice carrying a note of wonder. "It only reveals itself to those who are pure of heart and bold of spirit. I have followed it deep into the heart of the mountains, where wonders beyond imagination await." The villagers exchanged glances, their skepticism tugging at the corners of their lips. Yet, there was an undercurrent of yearning that flowed beneath their doubts—a yearning for adventure, for a glimmer of enchantment in their otherwise ordinary lives. As the weeks wore on, Liam's tale spread like wildfire, fanning the flames of curiosity among the villagers. Some dismissed it as the fanciful ramblings of a child's imagination, while others couldn't shake the desire to uncover the truth behind his words. And so, a group of intrepid souls decided to accompany Liam on his quest to find the elusive path. With provisions packed and hearts aflutter, the group set out one dew-kissed morning, their steps echoing in harmony with the whispering leaves. Liam led the way, his eyes alight with determination, his spirit undeterred by the challenges that lay ahead. They traversed streams, scaled rocky outcrops, and braved the wild unknown, each footfall a testament to their shared resolve. Days turned into nights, and nights into days, as the group journeyed deeper into the heart of the mountains. Liam's unyielding spirit served as a beacon of hope, driving them forward even when doubt began to cast its shadow. Yet, as they pushed further into the unknown, tensions simmered beneath the surface, fueled by exhaustion and the creeping realization that their destination might be nothing more than a mirage. On a mist-shrouded morning, the group stumbled upon a cavern concealed within the belly of the mountains—a cavern unlike any other. Crystals of every hue adorned its walls, shimmering like stars plucked from the heavens. In their midst stood a colossal crystal, its ethereal glow casting an otherworldly light upon the cave. Liam's heart raced as he stepped closer, a mixture of awe and trepidation coursing through his veins. With a tentative touch, his fingers brushed against the crystalline surface, sending ripples of energy through his body. He felt a connection—a sensation of belonging that defied explanation. Unbeknownst to Liam and his companions, their quest had not gone unnoticed by the village they had left behind. As days stretched into weeks without word from the intrepid explorers, the village plunged into a state of anxious mourning. Liam's parents bore the weight of their son's absence like an unceasing ache, their lives forever altered by the void he had left behind. One by one, the members of the group chose to return to the village, their spirits battered by the trials of their journey. Yet, Liam remained, his essence intertwined with the very heart of the mountain. Time became a fluid concept, its passage marked by the shifting hues of the crystal and the echo of whispered secrets that only Liam could decipher. Back in the village, the years rolled on, each season a reminder of the loss that still lingered. The villagers continued their daily routines, yet the memory of Liam and his unfulfilled quest cast a bittersweet shadow over their lives. The forest, once a playground of adventure, now held an air of melancholy, its beauty forever tinged by the tragedy that had unfolded within its depths. Liam's parents, weathered by grief, often gazed out at the forest from their window, as if expecting their son's return. They held onto his memory like a fragile thread, their love an unbreakable bond that transcended the boundaries of time and space. And within the depths of the mountain, Liam's existence melded with the crystal, his consciousness expanding to encompass the mysteries of the universe. He became a vessel of knowledge and wonder, his thoughts echoing through the ages, a testament to the boy who had dared to dream beyond the confines of reality. In the end, Liam's journey was both a tragedy and a triumph—a tale of unyielding spirit and the indomitable power of the human heart. The village and its people carried his memory like a precious gem, a reminder of the boy who had embarked on a quest for the stars and found eternity in the embrace of a crystalline dream.
