Review
THE KITE RUNNER
The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini is a poignant and powerful novel that explores themes of betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. Heartbreaking, shattering, captivating, completely and utterly unforgettable. This novel really took me on an emotional roller coaster. It had many unexpected turns, leaving me hooked. It has left me shocked, and shaken, but also satisfied, and in some way at peace I guess. Each character was portrayed excellently. I had a strong hatred for characters I disliked and much warmth for characters I did like. The character development of each character was so deeply and so thoughtfully written. I strongly recommend anyone to read this book.

Parker Pyne, Science Writing, & Paddington
As I had planned, this month I read Parker Pyne Investigates (in the Masterpieces in Miniature collection) and finally finished The Best American Science Writing 2004. This has given me a good opportunity to talk about my thoughts on short story collections, nonfiction, and anthologies.

Le Cirque des Rêves
I had been trying to pick out something to read, and this was recommended by a friend of mine who figured that I would like it. I already owned the book, so I plucked it off of the shelf and nestled down in the chair. Unfortunately, it took me quite a while to finish this one (life just seemed to get away from me), and I think that may have contributed to my overall experience reading this book. I think that I would have been better off if I had committed myself to finishing it right off or putting it back on the shelf until I was ready to commit to it fully.

Book Review: Who Will Find Her? by Ryan Young
It's been one year since the disappearance of beloved high school track star Melody Anderson. The small town of Hawksboro, North Carolina, has only started to recover from the media frenzy that's being fueled by a self-serving news anchor. As the case goes eerily cold, her suspected captor, a known predator with a history of violence, hasn't been seen in months. On a crisp autumn night, tragedy strikes again. During a packed high school football game, 14-year-old Cheyenne Holt vanishes from a park bench while spectators cheer on the home team. The sheriff is stunned and incapable of reliving the nightmare of the past year. He immediately labels her a runaway, killing any chances of a public outcry or coordinated search effort. No one is coming to help. With the weight of injustice pressing down on her family and friends, those closest to Cheyenne vow to find her by any means necessary. Four friends venture into the vast wilderness searching for answers and willing to face whatever monsters await. Whether it's the lead suspect in Melody's case or someone worse and far more dangerous. Someone closer to home.

I wish more people knew about these 4 books from my English degree..
1. Why Don’t You Stop Talking This collection of short stories explores topics such as lesbian relationships, mental health, illness, phobias, and loneliness. This collection is characterized by a downbeat tone, but there are moments of humour scattered throughout it. My favourite story is the Kafka-esque ‘Shell’ where a woman is forced to grow a shell to survive- completing her transformation by turning into a tortoise. Overall, it is well worth the read and there are images in this collection that I still think about years later.
