Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss

Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss

Some negotiation books sound like they were written in a closed room far away from real life. This one does not. Chris Voss is not just another voice sharing theory. He has lived through conversations where the wrong word could mean the loss of a life. As a former FBI...
The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins is not your typical self-help author. In The Let Them Theory, she does not preach positivity. She invites us to stop managing other people’s opinions. Her advice is simple. If someone doubts you, let them. If someone misunderstands you, let them. That’s...
Proof of Life by Jennifer Pastiloff

Proof of Life by Jennifer Pastiloff

Jennifer Pastiloff doesn’t write to impress. She writes to feel alive. That’s what makes Proof of Life more than just another memoir. It’s a reminder that truth doesn’t need to be polished to be powerful. I don’t usually enjoy books about pain. I like books that move...
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

Most people call The Bluest Eye heartbreaking. They say it’s a hard read. And yes, it is. But I see something else in it too. Something often overlooked. I see clarity. I see beauty in the way Morrison writes pain. I see truth written without apology. That’s rare....

Firefight by Brandon Sanderson

Most superhero stories tell us the same thing. Heroes are born to save us. Powers are good. And villains? They’re just bad people. But Brandon Sanderson turns all of that upside down in Firefight, the second book in The Reckoners series. And I loved it. Let’s start...
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Let’s be honest. Most people think A Tale of Two Cities is just another dusty classic. A required read. A book you had to finish for class. But I think it’s a bold, beautiful masterpiece. And I’ll tell you why—without spoiling it. First, let’s get one thing...
The Ensemble by Aja Gabel

The Ensemble by Aja Gabel

Most books about music focus on the soloist. The genius. The one who breaks away from the group and stands under the spotlight. The Ensemble by Aja Gabel does the opposite. It tells the story of a string quartet. Four musicians. Four lives. One bond. I think that’s...

Most people say stories are for children. I disagree. Stories are how adults remember who they are. Sejal Badani’s The Storyteller’s Secret is more than a novel. It’s a reminder of the power of storytelling, healing, and quiet strength. The book doesn’t scream...
