Book: Animal Instincts: The Urban Jungle

Author: S.L Jackson

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Animal Instincts: The Urban Jungle by the author S.L Jackson is a collection of stories based on the lives of animals in an urban underworld jungle. It is the first novella by the author. The story is about the Jackson rabbits and it involves Poppa, Mama, Leaps and Jumps. Leaps is an elder one by only a minute so they are twins. The place where Jackson rabbits family has settled is not at all safe. It is a 24 hour world of crime. Poppa Jackson is the fastest rabbit on the land.

Story also has a dove named Blac who is a good friend of Poppa. Blac looks after the twins when they are away from their Mama and Poppa. Read this interesting story set in the urban jungle to know what all adventures are there. Since it’s a novella, I won’t reveal much about the story. Find out yourself.

The story is penned down in 75 pages that one can enjoy in a single sitting. Writing style of Jackson is nice. I love reading novellas and this one is a unique story. Even if you are not a reader who reads stories about animals, I would recommend this one strongly to you. I am sure it will not fail to impress you. This book reminded me of my childhood when I used to watch Mowgli stories set in the jungle.

I am definitely looking for more and curious to read more stories by Jackson in the future.

Book: Bright Yellow Sunshine

Author: Cheyenne Bluett

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Don’t confine yourself to ‘pretty’ when you are extraordinary.

Bright Yellow Sunshine by the author Cheyenne Bluett is a poetry book. This is an inspiring book that will motivate readers to follow their dreams. I always care too much what other people will think but this book inspired me not to worry about all this as it doesn’t even matter. We all have one life and this is our chance to do something. So, why not we focus on our dreams instead of focusing on what others think.

Every day is a new day.
The moment you see sunlight
peeking through your eyelids,
you should
wake up,
stretch,
spring out of bed
and smile
because it is a new day
to make your dreams come true.

I really loved above lines from the book. This is an amazing poetry book with poems having different alignments. Art by Ashlyn Dunn is simple yet interesting. I am really looking forward to read more books by Cheyenne. This one was a soulful read for me that I enjoyed with a cup of coffee while sitting in my front porch.

Book: Those we Knew in Summer

Author: Nicholas Derosa

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5️⃣/5️⃣

“Those we Knew in Summer” is a story to which Young Adults can easily connect. It is a refreshing story about six friends that plans the annual music festival Bellewood Bounce every year. They deal with so many things in life like the mid twenties deals with. Loss of loved one, drugs, sex, relationships, break-up, etc is very common these days. We see story characters also involved in all this.

Bellewood Bounce is their perfect escape for a while from their mundane life issues. I often worry about my life purpose and at most times I feel underpaid and under-appreciated at work like Carlo.

Carlo is looking forward for this year Bellewood Bounce to change his life and he now aspires to get what he deserves. Find out yourself about the events that will happen in the life of Carlo and his friends.

The cover of the book couldn’t have been better than this. The plot of the story is interesting, engaging and sensitive. The story is set up in the hometown of Carlo i.e. Clinton, New Jersey. Through this book, Nicholas has very well described the problems that Young Adults face. I loved this novel and I am looking forward to read more work of Nicholas in future.

Poems are based on variety of topics including self healing, Friday night, endless summer, silver spoon, hopes, etc.

Each day when the sun shines
It reminds
Me of a time when I had everything
And I feel so alive
Not any butterflies
Prepared to take a dive
Into the unknown
I’ve made my own home
Reinforced it with the
strength of my back bone,
I forgive you Mom,
I wish you were here,
I’m proud of you and no need to shed a tear,
I’ll always have you in spirit so be free,
To find happiness
like the happiness you’ve shown to me.

There are many poems in this book that one could connect to. The meaning behind these poems are deep. Since poetry books aren’t meant to be read in a single sitting, I enjoyed few poems at a time with a hot cup of tea by sitting in my front porch. With this poetry book, James has expressed his feelings. Writing style is nice and language is easy to understand. Cover of the book is nice. If you are into poetry, go ahead with this one.
