We suffer, heal, and proceed: Reviewing Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well! This is the third book by Ottessa Moshfegh I have reviewed. If you want, you can check my reviews for her other books, Lapvona and My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Needless to say, I am a bit of a fan now. I promise I have more “weird girl literature” to read by the end of the year. I’m planning on getting into my horror books so I will be prepared for…

Tea Time Tuesday

5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons, I hope you are doing well. Please keep Baltimore in your thoughts over the next few weeks. What a horrible tragedy. This evening’s gem came to me in the form of a First Aid Kit. Very clever, I thought.

Let Characters Be Complicated

In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, George Saunders advocates for complicated stories that "avoid being merely a one-dimensional position paper." So I tried this out myself, and one secret I learned? Complicate the hell out of your characters. #writing

This week I’m thinking about a point George Saunders made on the value of digressions in fiction. In his book on creative writing A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he wrote that stories must “self-complicate, and thus avoid being merely a one-dimensional position paper” (335). However, when writing the first draft of a story, I’ve found there are two kinds of digressions. There are the valuable…

Audiobook Review: "The Divine Proverb of Streusel" by Sara Brunsvold

Present a story with a food in the title and I’m listening. Pair it with a premise that delves into family history, cooking, and an identity crisis of sorts, and I will read it! That’s the starting point of The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold, a women’s fiction story that explores family identity and forgiveness.

To be A Woman...

On days like these, we can let our hair down and celebrate being a woman, a mother, and a human being. We have shown resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity and have made significant contributions to society in various fields.

Today is International Women’s Day, and I am proud to be a woman. I am not apologising for being a woman. I love being one.
