When I’m Gone
We've all felt it; that uncomfortable tightening in our chest when someone mentions estate planning or end-of-life wishes. We tell ourselves we'll get to it later, when we're older, when things slow down.

I got the chance to read The Princss Bride, so I did
Like many people, I grew up with the movie. The quotable lines, the swashbuckling adventure, the perfect romance - it was all burned into my memory. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" became a cultural touchstone. "As you wish" was shorthand for true love. And "Inconceivable!" - well, we all know what that means. So when I spotted The Princess Bride at a bookstore, I grabbed it without hesitation, expecting a straightforward novelization of the story I already knew by heart.

[BOOK SUMMARY & REVIEW] “TEN LITTLE BLACK MEN”:
“Ten Little Black Men” (And Then There Were None) is one of Agatha Christie’s most classic detective masterpieces – a work that the “Queen of Detective Fiction” herself acknowledged as her most difficult yet most brilliant book. Unlike typical detective novels, the story doesn’t feature a brilliant detective like Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Instead, the entire story revolves around ten complete strangers, invited to an isolated island – and then one by one, they die, according to a mysterious nursery rhyme.
