The Thursday Murder Club" by Richard Osman : In-depth Review
Let me start with a confession: I picked up this book expecting a light, forgettable cozy mystery to pass a lazy weekend. What I got instead was something far more substantial – a clever, heartwarming, and surprisingly profound exploration of aging, friendship, and the enduring human need for purpose. If you've been scrolling past this title thinking it's just another retirement home romp, let me stop you right there. You're missing out on something special.

William Martin, Marratide: Selected Poems
“I draw a snake upon your back ...” It’s one of many lines derived from children’s games that lives on in William Martin’s poetry. Yet it also leapt of the page when I read it in Anna Marra Missa, one of the verses included in Marratide, a newly-published anthology to mark Martin’s centenary year.

Book Review: The Last Lecture
Book Review of “The Last Lecture” Book by Jeffrey Zaslow and Randy Pausch I loved and hated this book at the same time. This book is about Professor Randy Pausch and his life-ending journey with pancreatic cancer. The book was published posthumously with Jeffrey Zaslow providing the finishing touches and ending to the book after Pausch passed. I love this book because it is an honest and intimate perspective from someone dealing with the challenge of cancer. Pausch explains in detail his emotions, thoughts, and actions as he goes through diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, and physical deterioration.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle: A Life-Changing Journey Into Present-Moment Awareness
I'll be honest with you—when I first picked up this book, I was skeptical. Another self-help book promising to change my life? I'd heard it all before. But something about the simple, unassuming cover and the profound questions it posed made me curious enough to dive in. What I discovered between those pages wasn't just another collection of feel-good platitudes, but a genuinely transformative approach to living that has fundamentally shifted how I experience each day.
