“The Gen Z Money Manual: Mastering Our New Economy” written by the author Mark Bolton is a great book that one should read. In this book, the author has given some suggestions on goal settings. Mark has mentioned that it’s important to set realistic goals, goals should be written down and placed at a place where you can see them everyday. After writing our goals, we can sort them into categories. This book made me realize that I don’t set a timeline to my goals, that’s why I failed to achieve them.

It’s important for us to plan effectively and review our goals daily. The author has shared insights on high interest Credit Card debt, education and student debt, etc. The author has mentioned the pros and cons of side hustles. The emotional investing content is my favorite from the book. It gives us much needed wisdom. We shouldn’t be fearful, greedy or too excited while making investment decisions. All the chapters of this book will give you the wisdom that could save your life or could help you achieve more in life.

This book is not just meant for reading it, it’s action and output oriented. If we apply the knowledge that we get from this book, we can definitely do better in our lives.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I love reading memoirs. Recently I got my hands on Olivia DeBortoli’s book “The Articulate Autistic”. In this book, Olivia who is a late-diagnosed autistic female has shared her life story. The book starts with Olivia at the therapist’s office. The therapist’s questions took Olivia back to the old days when she was abused by her uncle.

Olivia has shared how from the age of eighteen to twenty-nine, she had been hospitalized almost forty times. The author has shared her experiences from the first visit to the psychiatric emergency room. The way the hospital ward makes patients fully undress and asks them to give pee samples in front of them makes the patients uncomfortable.

One day, Olivia realized that she wanted to be normal and fix her life. She tried different things but ended up in hospital after every attempt. Olivia’s story inspires the readers to be happy. We should seek happiness only in life. The journey of self-discovery is a lifelong adventure. Readers should definitely read this well written book as they would be inspired to be more self-aware.

The Movie Wheel

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“The Movie Wheel: How to Choose What to Watch Using Colour” written by the author Will Turner Brett is a wonderful book. Whenever we sit to watch a movie, most of the time we end up scrolling and get fed up. Through this book, the author is suggesting readers to use The Movie Wheel to select a movie.

This movie wheel would help us to choose the movie based on how we are feeling right now. Will has assigned different genres to different colours. The combination of different genres elicits multiple emotions. While choosing a movie, we don’t have to become a servant of the algorithm.

By reading this book, one would get many movie recommendations. It’s important for readers to understand that genres affect emotions. Now onwards, readers can make a free choice of what they want to watch. It is an insightful read and would save my time going forward which would otherwise have been wasted in doom-scrolling.

If you have a friend or a family member who is a movie buff, then gift this book to them. It’s a book worth reading. I am glad to get my hands on it. It’s a unique read. Go ahead with it without any second thoughts.

Sidelined

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System” written by the author Susan Salenger is a must read book. This book makes the readers realize how we as women mismanage our healthcare.

We find time for everything else: kids, husband, sick parents, relatives, work, etc but don’t have any time for ourselves. Everyone is a priority for us but we forget to keep ourselves at the top of our priority. Susan has shared various instances where women just agree to the surgery advised by the doctor without questioning whether it is really needed.

This is an eye opener book. It made me realize that I should look after myself over others without feeling that I am being selfish. The author has suggested women ask for help whenever they need it. Women could easily relate to many stories from the book. I am grateful to Susan for writing this book and opening our eyes. I strongly recommend it to each and every woman. It’s a book worth reading.

Blurred Lens

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Blurred Lens written by the author Morgan Klein is a collection of tales, poems and flash fiction. This book gives us a sneak peak into the fragmented life of the characters.

Love Hurts is my favorite story from the collection. It’s about a relationship between a female doctor and Steve. Steve was the stability that the narrator needed in life. The narrator delivered the baby girl Maggie. With virus spreading, the number of patients in the hospital increased. What would happen to the narrator while working long shifts at the hospital at the time of the virus?

‘Love Hurts’ story took me on a rollercoaster ride full of emotions. ‘It’s Better Now’ and ‘Helpless’ are other stories which I loved from this collection.

Readers may be able to relate their own lives with a few stories. The twists and turns in the story made them more interesting. The writing style of the author is nice and the narration is smooth. The author has done great work in this book. Looking forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Late Love written by the author Clifford R Holliday is a historical fiction set in bi-era. The story is set in 1865 and in the present time. The story features two main characters: Alice Dean and Sam Hickey. They met after years at their high school reunion and the old spark from their high school days reignited.

Sam and Alice are glad to be together again. Now, they don’t want to lose the love between them. They took a trip together to Kentucky’s cave country. Sam lives in Dallas as his boss Jack needs to have face to face conversations with him. Alice lives in Atlanta and has a teaching career there. Alice can’t move out of Atlanta and she couldn’t let Sam sacrifice his career for her.

Watching Sam and Davis retracing the lost Davis treasure kept me at the edge of my seat. The story gets more and more interesting as you turn the pages. The writing style of the author is amazing. Clifford has used good vocabulary in this book and I loved every bit of his writing. Great work done by him in this book.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“The Happy Giraffe Budget” written by the authors Nigel Bloomfield and Laura Bloomfield is a must read book. Most of us fail at budgeting. In this book, the authors teach the readers about budgeting with a giraffe as the main character.

When Giraffe ran out of leaves, he went to different animals asking for advice. He doesn’t have enough leaves. He can’t earn more leaves. He doesn’t have enough leaves to save. Read this book to know how giraffes would organize the leaves.

Jay Fontano has done great work as an illustrator. The writing style of the authors is amazing. I loved the way the authors have explained about budgeting through a giraffe and leaves. This book would help kids to understand budgeting in a simple language. Kids will learn to manage their money and live life by creating a budget. It’s a must read book by not only kids but by adults as well.

Urban Sparrow

𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Corinthians Ann Williams ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Urban Sparrow written by Mrs Corinthians Ann Williams is a gripping story. The story features Corinthians Ann Davenport. Corinthians lived with her family in Newark, New Jersey. Her father was a handsome man. He doesn’t come home from work for days which turn into weeks. Corinthians’ family moved often but she wanted to stay put. Her mother was raising all her kids on whatever salary she was earning.

Corinthians’ family moved to Montclair. She was teased there by the other kids. Her father easily tracks them down wherever they move. After being intoxicated, Corinthians’ father mistreats her mother. The family moved again to Newark. Corinthians didn’t know that the world is full of deceptive people. She fell for the sweet words of Allen Richardson and ended up being pregnant.

Corinthians became a Christian at an early age. Read this story to know how she deals with the world as she grows up. The story feels relatable. As teenagers, we fell for people’s words without noticing their actions. Corinthians’ character is my favorite from the book. The storyline is interesting. My favorite part from the book is “A Little Wisdom will go a long way”. These tips would definitely help readers in their life. It’s a book worth reading. I had a great time reading this story that took me on a rollercoaster ride full of emotions.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Labeled: Miss Popular: The Story Of Paxton Chase” written by the author Alyssa Milani is a gripping read. Paxton Chase is a pretty, popular and rich girl. She is with Mr. Popular Jack who doesn’t treat her right. When they were fifteen years old, Paxton ended up getting pregnant after being involved with Jack. 

Jack threatens her using this secret. If Paxton tries to leave Jack, he would tell everyone about it. Paxton has rich parents but they are busy with their own lives. They don’t give much of their time and attention to Paxton. 

Grayson Beckett is a nerd and a handsome man. At school, the history teacher asked Grayson to tutor Paxton after school so she could graduate. During their study sessions, Paxton and Grayson opened up to each other and got close. They shared secrets with each other. How would the others at school react to seeing them together? What would Jack do?

The story is gripping. I binge read it on the weekend and I had a great time reading it. The backdrop setting is impressive. The cover photo of the book is nice and the language used in the book is lucid. The characters are written well by the author. Alyssa has used good vocabulary in her novels. This book fits my reading taste well. I strongly recommend it to my fellow readers.
