One Day In the Life of Ivan Denisovich
One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn does a fantastic job transporting you to a horrible and boring place that you would never want to be. Yet, I actually enjoyed it by the end.

Get Paid to Read Books
Simple question... do you enjoy reading? If the answer is yes or even "it's okay" then I have great news for you. Yes, you can actually get paid to read. Will you get rich or replace your main income source? Nope. The pay ranges from around $2.20 per book to around $4.00 per book. Also, you can only read 5 books a week. Now, having said that... trust me, it adds up quickly. I've been using the platform for a little over a month, in addition to doing a bunch of other stuff and not devoting much time to the platform, and so far I've made $91.40 total.

The Handmaid’s Tale
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood is so synonymous with mainstream feminist literature that it almost seems a sin to criticise it. Luckily for me, it lives up to the hype, more or less.

The Girl Who Waited by the River in a Forgotten Bangladeshi Village
The river had always been there—quiet, patient, and endless. In a small village in Bangladesh, where the roads were dusty and the nights were filled with the sound of crickets, there lived a girl named Amina. She wasn’t extraordinary, but her eyes carried a kind of sadness that people couldn’t explain.

Andreas Szakacs on Michael: Becoming the Legend Through an Actor’s Lens
Michael belongs somewhere in between — not quite a reinvention of the biopic, but not merely a retelling either. As an actor, I didn’t approach this film looking for facts. I approached it looking for truth. And that distinction matters.

Rachel Reviews: Treacle Walker by Alan Garner
Before I discuss this book, I want to attempt to draw you in in the same way that I was. Firstly, that title. Treacle Walker. I mean, if that's not a name to conjure with then I don't know what is.

Rachel Reviews: What the Silence Kept by Lachelle Avitia
I have to admit that Lachelle Avitia's book and its content would not be my immediate go-to for a new read but in this world of disquiet, I found myself wanting to read something with meaning and presence, something which would smooth and calm my vaguely troubled mind. I wanted something modern, a 21st century text which drew on established morals and values of faith but I didn't want something that preached or was didactic with a zealous Christian message. I did want stories to which I could relate which spoke of the goodness and rationality and ultimately, hopefulness of people; of finding a way out of dark times into places of reconciliation and growth, where the balance is re-established and progress is possible. I wanted there to be questions proposed by the text to prompt thoughtfulness and deeper thinking.
