New Epic Fantasy Series


I am a huge fantasy buff , and I’m always on the lookout for a new book. I found this series and became instantly hooked. The Deathsworn Arc1 is the first book in a series of novels involving various mystical characters in search of a dragon slayer.  I would say it’s very similar to The Hobbit where you have a dynamic group of humans, dwarfs, elves, and a wizard traveling together towards a common goal. Or if you’re a fan of Game of Thrones there are plenty of dragons in this book. However, Deathsworn does have a unique story line involving a beautiful Empress and a mysterious set of six heart stones that the group is asked to retrieve.

I enjoyed the overall story of the book, and I’m interested to see how the group fares on their quest to return to the Empress. The book is well-crafted, imaginative, and reading it was effortless. I enjoyed the pictures at the beginning of the novel where the characters are introduced, and the map of Torea. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this new fantasy series.

Cute African Wildlife Children's Book


I got this book for my nephew and he really enjoyed it. This cute children's story is about a bunch of wild animals living in the Kalahari region of Southern Africa. The main character is a young egg-eater snake called Little Squirt. He sets off on a long and dangerous journey to the Chicken Farm in search of his missing dad, who was drawn there by reports of eggs too plentiful to count. Little Squirt encounters many adventures while searching for his dad, and even meets other wild animals. I love the happy ending of the story.

The book itself contains some adorable black and white illustrations. This is a great book for kids between the age of 7-10, which will teach them about animal wildlife and nature. Kids will meet aardvark, antelope, ostrich, honey badger, spring hare, lynx, lions and a small bird which leads humans to wild bees' nests. This is a great book for kids and it comes highly recommended.

Why Lying Works




I was first intrigued when I read the title of this book. We live in a world where everyone lies so we might as well accept the fact that people will lie to benefit themselves or someone else---this is the concept that the author discusses in his book. Not all lies are bad---sometimes people lie to spare someone else's feelings---but there are many reasons why people lie. And yet, as individuals we are influenced by the lies that people tell us.

There are actually some very insightful thoughts in this book. I like how the author, Brett Carter uses a lot of great quotes from very notable leaders in order to get his point across. He discusses the evolution of lying, from the moment we enter the world at birth, to the day we die. The book is an easy read and filled with a lot of wisdom. The quotes alone is reason enough to get this book. The author's take on lying is an interesting and though-provoking one. I recommend this book.
