The Day After

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Day After 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Andrew Masseurs ✍️

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Calling the fans of Science fiction to get their hands on Andrew Masseurs’ book “The Day After.” Michael Stevenson and his family have somehow survived and are now living among the predatory creatures.

Michael Stevenson is glad that his family is back with him. From his family, he came to know that there is no life after death. A year ago, everyone disappeared including the animals. Only a small percentage of people survived. New creatures were created and they are the evil monsters. Michael, Teresa, Shelby and Lucy didn’t expect a monster. When Teresa disappeared, Shelby wasn’t sure if Michael would be able to rescue himself.

She felt her sanity when she at least had the company of Lucy Stevenson. The story picked up pace when Lucy and Shelby met Max, Charlie and Pete. The creatures take us on the roller coaster ride in this novel.

I am impressed with Andrew’s writing. The story is so unique and interesting that you won’t feel like putting this book aside. The world building is impressive and I loved the backdrop settings. Looking forward to reading the next book by the author.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Emotional Intelligence at Work: A Personal Operating System for Career Success” penned by the authors Richard M. Contino and Penelope J. Holt is a book that I strongly recommend to others.

Our emotions play a major role in our business or career. Understanding the emotions of our colleagues and ourselves is crucial for good work relationships. This book will help the readers to develop their Business Emotional Intelligence (BEQ). Through this, readers would learn to manage their emotions so their professional goals are not sabotaged.

The authors have mentioned case studies in this book that would help us to understand BEQ better.

Being a sensitive person, I was a victim of office politics a few years back and went into depression. I wish I would have gotten my hands on this book earlier. If you want to be successful in your career or business then BEQ plays an important role. Don’t let your emotions hinder your business success. The authors have done great work in this book. I appreciate the valuable lessons that they have shared with us. More and more people should read this book as it would be beneficial for them in their professional life.

I love reading memoirs. This time, I got my hands on S.A. Blair’s book “The Difference”. The author has shared her story in this book. Growing up, she has seen her parents screaming at each other. Her father was calm and cool but underneath there was a war going on inside him. Her mother was her hero as she was intelligent, funny and ambitious.

Whenever Sarah’s father comes home as a drunken man, the charismatic man turns into a broken soul who expresses his hurt in the form of a rage.

Sarah’s self-destruction journey continued with suicide attempts, drinking herself into a black out and taking drugs. Read her journey to know will she find light and healing.

I am grateful to the author for sharing her story with us. Through this book, the author wants to give hope to those who feel unheard or unseen. Those who are in the dark would realize that there is light and one can turn their life around no matter how much it’s surrounded by darkness. Go ahead with this memoir without any second thoughts.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
The author provides a captivating narrative drawn from personal encounters and journeys through Bordeaux, delving into its wine culture and heritage. Through this book, readers are enlightened on Bordeaux’s rich tapestry, encompassing its wines, vineyards, and picturesque estates. 

Bordeaux is predominantly renowned for its red wines. The author calls it “The Mini Paris.” Bordeaux is steeped in history and charm.

The city pulsates with youthful energy, beckoning travelers to immerse themselves in its vibrant ambiance. Enthralled by the vivid portrayal of Bordeaux, I am enticed to embark on a journey to savor its culinary delights, wines, and architectural marvels, including the allure of dining in a medieval castle.

The prospect of experiencing the tranquility of a private chartreuse adds to the allure of Bordeaux. This literary journey has been an eye-opener, as it unraveled the mystique of Bordeaux, previously unknown to me. Gratitude is extended to the author for sharing these enriching anecdotes.
