Fairytales Don't Come True by Laura LyndhurstA judgemental nurse gives end of life care to a dying young former prostitute.
This book has been chosen as a book club pick by a book club buddy and it will lead to very interesting discussions I am sure.
Also reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy how the small changes we make in our life positive and negative have compound effects over time.
Here's my 5 star review for Daylight Daylight by David Baldacci
My favourite book this yearhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I’m currently a book called “Noir” and I’m getting my second book ready. It’s called “Jett Landry: Urban Legend.”
I am reading The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris. Really interesting to hear how she grew up and what inspired her to practice law.
Currently reading Medication Madness: True Stories of Mayhem, Murder & Suicide Caused by Psychiatric DrugsIt is a gate opening to the reality behind medications prescribed by doctors and causing wreck havoc to the lives of patients and those around them. Still at the start of the book but already in disbelief how those medications have been approved let alone prescribed. More yet to come upon finishing the book. Very well written with a lot of real life cases to substantiate what the author (already a psychiatrist) is claiming.
Finished The Huntress
by Kate Quinnwelp, this fell flat for me.
My Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Reading The Evening and the Morning Ken Follett. I just finished "What did you do during the war, sister?"
m (supriya s chakravarty) reading Haruki Murakami scattered few characters embed lyricism and a touch of worded glint in the narrative works well with me. So authors like Sartre, Camus, Amitav Ghosh, and totally different genre author Nasim Taleb too is one of my favorite. If our tastes match then I too have written a book a love story (Siamese Twins) do read for want of a few lifelike characters and embroidery of cherry-picked emotions
Hi AllI am reading Thinking For A Change by John C. Maxwell
He is telling us to make our lives better and become more creative. The most creative thing I think I've ever done is write a novel. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and writing the next one is easier because I've learned to have a plan.
So many authors on here inspire me. I can't read all your books, but congratulations for persevering, getting to the end, and writing the next one. Being part of a creative community is making us all more creative. Maya Angelou said, "We can't use up creativity. The more we use it, the more we have."
If you are interested in reading my debut novel

Finished The Ten Thousand Doors of January
by Alix E. HarrowMy Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
As a GoodReads Author and reader - I love most genre's of books - but as a writer of children/young adult (humor and educational - Life Lessons and Tales of Little MisFit - Book 1: Life Isn't Always What It Seems) I find reading about other authors of children's books also fun. So my current read is BECOMING DR. SEUSS by Brian Jay Jones - a great relaxing story about one of our childhood's amazing authors and how he became Dr. Seuss.
I am currently reading Syd Field’s Screenwriters Workbook, so to hopefully get into another field of creative writing. I’m digging it so far!
I've just written a newsletter reviewing a couple of books I have just read and I have also interviewed the authors - https://mailchi.mp/087dc87bbdb4/the-n...
