Book: Memoirs Of A Single Mother

Author: Buruuj Tunsill

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

Recently I got my hands on the book “Memoirs of a Single Mother” penned by the author Buruuj Tunsill. Being a mother is difficult but being a single mother is something I couldn’t even imagine. Mothers have lots of responsibilities. A single mother especially has to worry about finances too.

In this memoir, we see Buruuj working multiple jobs. She wasn’t able to give her son Amir enough time. Every dollar means a lot to her. The way Safiyyah looked after Amir is really nice. Buruuj craved for love and she wanted her son to have a father. Having daddy issues herself, Buruuj doesn’t want Amir to experience all that.

Read this memoir to know will Buruuj find love. What more challenges she comes across as a single mother.

If you are looking for a book centered around parenthood in the context of mental health, then go ahead with this book. I enjoyed reading this memoir. This book introduced me to the real world from the eyes of a single mother. Seeing Buruuj concerned about paying bills made me realize the value of money. It’s a book worth reading.

Memoirs Of A Single Mother

Book: 13 Years Of Student Robbery

Author: Joshua Jones

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

“13 Years of Student Robbery” penned by the author Joshua Jones is a book worth reading.

This is one of the best books that I have read this year. After entering the corporate world, I realized whatever I learnt in school hasn’t prepared me for the real world. In this book, the author has mentioned how in school, students are judged based on their marks and that kills their self-esteem. Also in school, we read many subjects that have no use in our real life. In today’s world, we want work-life balance and entrepreneurial skills is something we aren’t taught in schools. Also, the student loan debt forces graduates to settle for easily available low paying jobs. Read this book and get to know the warning and the author’s say in this.

If you are interested in knowing about the more practical approach to have a profitable career for yourself or your kids, then go ahead with this book.

Writing style of the author is nice with a smooth narration. Language used in the book is lucid. The current education system needs to be changed. This is a short read and it would be worth your time. I agree with the author’s thoughts. Glad to read this book.

Recently I read the book “The Bad Seed” penned by the author Rita H Rowe. Main character of the story is Jenna, a smart girl who knows how to take care of herself. Her father took his life when Jenna was not yet four. There was a new kid Joey in town. Jenna’s mother Carol referred to him as bad blood. She warned Jenna to stay away from him. When Jenna met Joey, she was attracted to him. She has never felt like that for any other boy.

At school a student Tommy tripped Joey and got him expelled. Jenna was curious to know why Joey hasn’t defended himself in front of the principal.

Apart from Jenna, nobody seems to easily trust Joey. Will they get help from the town’s police officer Tim?

Storyline is interesting. Cover photo of the book is nice. I really liked the choice of the title for this story. Rita’s stories are mostly set in towns of Melbourne. This would inspire the readers to travel to Australia. It is a captivating story and has the power to hook the readers till the last page.

Book: The Beautiful Beings In The Dark

Author: Taylor S Robinson

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

“The Beautiful Beings in the Dark” penned by the author Taylor S Robinson is a wonderful poetry book. In this book, readers will get to read the concepts of humanity, love, death, etc.

‘Love is Patient, Love is Kind’ is my favorite poem from the collection:

Love is not soft nor kind
It is not a gentle caress under sunlight
Love is falling on your knees
Screaming at god
While tears flood down cheeks
Leaving you in an ocean of sky……

I could relate to this poem very well. Some other poems that I loved are Bury the Past, Idol Prayers for Idle Love, First Love. In the prose “These Pretty Things”, the narrator has described herself as pretty but lifeless like a paper doll, cherry blossom petal. There are various emotions expressed in this poetry book.

Language used in the book is lucid and I was able to follow it easily. I enjoyed this collection a lot. Even if you aren’t an avid poetry reader, you would be able to understand the meaning behind these poems. Writing style of the author is nice. Go ahead with this book without any second thoughts.
