There has been an enormous discussion around the notion of financial freedom in the last decade, including the FIRE movement. This clearrawing of money and the relationship we have with it is evident in one of the most popular books on the subject: Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. The book was first published in 1992 and this edition was updated in 2018 with present-day financial structures in mind. The essence of the book, however, remains the same: it’s a life-changing guide to reprogramming the way we approach money, consumption and happiness.

Rick Riordan Presents Imprint vs short stories from class:
My creative project is a compare and contrast between three books from a published imprint to several short stories we have read in class. The imprint is called Rick Riordan Presents, Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson series and many others who have partnered with Disney Hyperion Book Group to complete a simple goal. From Riordan himself, he states on the imprint's website “the goal of the imprint is to publish great middle- grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythologies and folklore of their own heritage” (Riordan). The respective stories that I have chosen to analyze focus on Korean, Hindu, and West African mythologies. Those books are The Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee, Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi, and Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia. The PowerPoint presentation will be analyzing settings, conflicts, and themes in the primary and secondary sources.

CRIME EXPOSED, A BUCK TAYLOR NOVEL
CRIME EXPOSED, A BUCK TAYLOR NOVEL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewed by Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite Crime Exposed: A Buck Taylor Novel by Chuck Morgan is the fourth entry in a riveting crime series. Buck Taylor is pulled into investigating the disappearance of a missing journalist, a case that eventually leads to murder and child pornography. The narrative starts in a very curious way, a powerful opening that piqued my sense of curiosity. We get a clear glimpse of the protagonist in the first line of the narration: “Jim McBride knew his wife was pissed... The sound of slamming doors that bombarded his ears indicated that whoever she was mad at would receive her full wrath. He was glad it wasn't him.” This strong opening already gives readers a hint of what to expect, and they are keen on discovering who Barb will turn out to be. But she disappears just after the first chapter and in a tragic kind of way that establishes the suspense and the irony that drives the narrative.

Review of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. AI-Generated.
Now Liane Moriarty is known for domestic dramas and in the majority of her novels there is always a twist. If there is anything that stands out about Moriarty is LM’s ability to capture the secrets, enmities and loves that underpin the otherwise mundane lives of her characters… LM’s books appeal to readers who would love to read between the lines and into the hearts of men. Thus, in Here One Moment, Moriarty creates yet another engrossing read, which is filled with suspense, emotion and a handful of twists, when the external picture of seemingly ideal lives turns out to be rather grim and becomes exposed to other people’s view.

Review of Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis. AI-Generated.
Introduction: The Halloween Gala; A Walk-in into the World of the Gothic and the Macabre The author of the debut narrative Dreadful, Caitlin Rozakis plunges her readers into the hypnotizing narrative, which is quite appropriately filled with horror, gothic, thriller, and suspense notes. This grim and ominous context of this novel overrides the traditional conventions of the genre and brings together an introspective journey of the protagonist and an unlaying, gradual construction of a mystery. From the title, Dreadful itself gives a feeling of fear, a form of fear which in this book creeps up the characters and the tale as a whole peer into the horrific and the mysterious.
