“The Truth About Humpty’s Fall” is the first installment in the “Our Twisted Tales” series. The main character of the story is Humpty Dumpty Eggleston. He was his father’s loving dream as he was born after many sisters. This book takes the readers on the journey of a partially-hatched egg. The egg was not part of the Rite of Passage.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Kites Are Flying High While I’m Barely Staying Afloat” written by the author Caleb Thornton is a poetry book. These poems are based on love feelings for the partner, being manipulated, heart broken, etc.

my stomach is tied in knots
thinking about what i should do
should i spend my nights in hell
thinking about why i didn’t mean enough to you?
i’m having withdrawals
and sometimes i wish i did stay
like those other boys that lay up under you

The above lines from the poem tells us how much the narrator is missing the guy he loves. He is stuck in Apr 5, 2020 when he played pretend for the first time with him. I myself have gone through a heartbreak recently and my mind is stuck on that guy.

These poems are relatable. One could feel a great connection between the author’s experiences and their own. The poems are easy to follow and heart touching as well.

Divine Karma

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Divine Karma: The Journey of Self Discovery 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: David Ramirez ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Divine Karma: The Journey of Self Discovery” written by the author David Ramirez is a life changing read. In this book, the author has explained how we are the creator of our own reality. The author has mentioned how the below proverb is true:

“What we sow in others, we reap in ourselves”

I have myself experienced the truth of this proverb. This book makes us aware about the karmic debt and the accumulation of this debt ensures recurring experiences until the debt is settled. “Power of Creation: Light and Darkness” is one of my favorite parts from the book. I am glad to be aware about the blockages and imbalances that get created in the body’s energy system. Addressing these imbalances requires more than treating the physical symptoms.

This book would inspire readers to reflect on their own lives and the consequences of their actions. A karma believer like me found this book insightful. By reading this book, readers would realize how knowing themselves is the beginning of all wisdom. Self-awareness is very important for changing your life. This book is a great eye opener with wonderful insights for life. I am going to apply the learnings from this book in my life. Great work done by David in this one. Looking forward to reading more books by him in the future.

The author who is an experienced African American teacher has years of experience teaching in different schools filled with poor black children. Through this book, the author is opening the eyes of other people towards the bullying white kids face in all black children’s schools.

Teachers are the number one factor that produces bullying. Because of the ineffective teachers, children become victims of bullying. Before reading this book, I wasn’t even aware of white kids being bullied in all black schools. These kids are the invisible victims of invisible racism.

I highly appreciate the author for writing this book. It’s important to keep all kids safe. Selecting the best school is an important decision that parents take for their kids. This is a must read book. By reading this book, parents would be able to make better decisions for their kids. Also, this book is an eye opener for others too.
