Online Brain (garbage) Dump

A blog. Because everyone needs somewhere to store their ideas and opinions.

Hello there (if by chance, there would be anyone who'd be reading this). This an online brain dump page where I'll store all my ideas, thoughts and basically anything that I'd like to do.

As an only child who has issues expressing certain thoughts and opinions, sharing interests and basically finding it difficult to unleash my creativity, a blog would probably be a safe space to do so.

As of now, I don't have any solid idea about what I'd be posting here. Potentially book reviews, gushing about certain movies and characters, writing stories - just things that I enjoy that could probably find a home here.

Currently, I post book reviews on Goodreads. However, I'd prefer a home for my reviews, which would probably be here on my blog! I'll be posting some of my old book reviews here to get a foundation started for this new blog, it will be interesting, I suppose.

Till the next post.

REVIEW: The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault

The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault Get it here BOOK SUMMARY: Bilodo lives a solitary daily life, routinely completing his postal rounds every day and returning to his empty Montreal apartment. But he has found a way to break the cycle—Bilodo has taken to stealing people's mail, steaming open the envelopes, and reading the letters inside. And so it is he comes across Ségolène's letters. She is corresponding with Gaston, a master poet, and their letters are each composed of only three lines. They are writing each other haikus. The simplicity and elegance of their poems move Bilado and he begins to fall in love with her. But one day, out on his round, he witnesses a terrible and tragic accident. Just as Gaston is walking up to the post-box to mail his next haiku to Ségolène, he is hit by a car and dies on the side of the road. And so Bilodo makes an extraordinary decision—he will impersonate Gaston and continue to write to Ségolène under this guise.

JUNE WRAP-UP

The month of June has been absolutely wonderful! I've not read as many books as I had in May, however, most of the books I've read were worthy of 5 stars. I've dipped my toes into the world of sci-fi, it was a huge step for me since I've always stayed comfortable in the land of Fantasy. I've also read and reviewed a poem collection, which was something different too. Here are the books I've read in June, in no particular order. 1. NIMBUS by A.C. Miller The storyline of NIMBUS has captivated me from the start. Over in the land of Nimbus, 14 year-olds are separated from their families for 11 years to live outside the wall. Every day, kids are fighting for their lives, suffering to find food and shelter. They were kicked out without any skills to defend themselves. Only the strong ones can survive. The writing was consistent, never had there been a moment that was boring. Every character faced their portion of pain and suffering but continued to

REVIEW: Girl Empowernment: Poetry

Girl Empowernment: Poetry by Hunyah Irfan Get it here BOOK SUMMARY: Girl Empowernment Poetry By Hunyah Irfan Girl empowernment poetry is about empowering girls to be strong women BOOK REVIEW: 1 STAR *A free PDF copy of this book was given in exchange for an honest review* This poetry book is a short read, something you can definitely finish in one sitting. The poet wrote it in a way where the ideas were direct on how empowerment is vital to young girls and how it would shape them into strong women in the future. Right off the bat, there were a few spelling errors that were overlooked in the editing process. The poems were also a little too short for my liking. However, there's a hint of a satirical tone to it if I had to be honest. Some poems mocked the idea of women doing traditional women things, which was how I understood it. Nonetheless, the execution could've been improved and more impactful, if this was the way the poet intended for the poem
