10 Underwhelming And Insufferable Books To Avoid
If you want to read my other list of books that suck, you can: here. Also, if I attacked one of your beloved, most cherished books, just know that you are not alone—others have similarly witnessed their favourite books publicly shamed and ripped to shreds (except for a couple of incidents, maybe) by me. I look forward to hearing what you all have to say in the comments! Happy reading!

The Maidens: Review
I should start by saying, I have a lot to say about this book. I should also say that this is the first book by Alex Michaelides that I have read. Michaelides is known for his debut novel The Silent Patient which was No.1 on the New York Times Best Seller list upon its release in 2019. Since finishing The Maidens I have ordered his debut novel and it arrives tomorrow.

The only quote about writing I'll ever need. . Top Story - August 2022.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club
I really, really wanted to love this novel. I ended up just liking it a lot. I still gave it four stars on Goodreads, though. It is such an important novel telling such an important story, and I think anyone with a heart and interest in historical Sapphic novels would love it.

The real 'secret' to fiction writing is more disappointing than you think.. Top Story - August 2022.
I've been writing fiction for over ten years, and for the last few, I've been sharing my successes and failures with other writers online. I've built a community, albeit a small one, on writing advice.

Hemingway is misunderstood. Top Story - August 2022.
Hemingway's writing may feel a little dated by today's standards, but it is iconic. His novels changed the nature of fiction. Somewhat ironically, he's misunderstood and seldom read these days, but there's much he can teach us about the art of writing.
