Book of the Day
I read Half His Age
If there's one book you add to your reading list this year, make it Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy. I went into this one already a fan of McCurdy as an author, but this book solidified exactly why she's become one of my favourites. It's personal, it's immersive, and it's the kind of story that stays with you long after you turn the last page.

The year was 2026, and the world had grown quieter in ways few had
Echoes of 2026 The year was 2026, and the world had grown quieter in ways few had expected. Cities still pulsed with neon lights and endless traffic, but beneath the surface, people carried a new awareness—an understanding that the choices of the past decade had shaped a fragile present.

The Shadow of a Dream. AI-Generated.
The Shadow of a Dream In one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods lived a young man named Yassin. He did not own much—no spacious house, no wealth to speak of—but he carried something far more precious: a dream that refused to sleep. Yassin longed to become a writer, to fill the world with his words, and to leave behind an imprint that would outlast the narrow alleys where he had grown up.

The Doctrine of Obedience
Understanding Iran’s power requires looking beyond missiles, sanctions, or nuclear negotiations. The real engine of influence lies in how Iran recruits, conditions, and binds individuals into long-term obedience. Its system is not accidental or reactive. It is deliberate, ideological, and designed to endure.

This Book Made Me Afraid of My Own Thoughts
I didn’t expect Intercept to stress me out as much as it did. I picked it up thinking it would be a fun, fast sci-fi thriller, something intense but easy to digest. And it is fast, yes—but it’s also the kind of book that quietly messes with your nerves. I noticed halfway through that I kept pausing, not because I was bored, but because my brain needed a second to breathe.

When the Past . AI-Generated.
The past has a reputation for staying where it belongs—behind us. We’re told that time heals, that moving forward is a matter of willpower, and that growth requires letting go. Yet for many people, the past does not remain neatly contained. It resurfaces in reactions we don’t fully understand, patterns we repeat despite better intentions, and emotions that feel disproportionate to the moment at hand. This is what it means when the past still bleeds into the present.

The Other Woman in My Marriage Wasn’t a Stranger
When I first picked up "MY HUSBAND'S WIFE" book to read, I expected a dramatic story about betrayal and rivalry. The title suggests something bold and emotional, but what I found instead was a much more reflective and human narrative. This is not just a story about two women connected by one man. It is a story about how people understand themselves through love, memory, and comparison.

My New Book is Finally Here. Top Story - January 2026.
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
