Book Review : What did you do at school today?

I recently shared the delightful book “What Did You Do at School Today?” by C.C. Lacavera with my nephews, and it turned out to be a big hit!

This story resonates with children as it mirrors the daily routine of sharing school experiences with their parents. It subtly encourages young readers to open up about their day, fostering better communication and connection within families.

For parents, this book serves as a gentle reminder of the joy in hearing about their child’s adventures—whether it’s making new friends, learning something exciting, or participating in fun activities. These conversations not only provide insight into their child’s world but also strengthen the parent-child bond.

With its engaging language, charming illustrations, and relatable theme, this book is a fantastic addition to any child’s library. It’s a great way to inspire kids to talk about their school days while learning important lessons along the way.

Thanks for reading.

Book Review : Retribution

Book Review : Retribution 

;

Retribution is my introduction to L.A. Burch’s work, and it’s an impressive start. The story is engagingly crafted, with Sergeant Detective Walter Rogers and Detective Ann Grace as standout characters who are both clever and relatable. They’re up against a relentless serial killer who has been terrorizing the city for three years. His actions are unpredictable—sometimes killing merely to throw the detectives off his trail.

The story diverges from typical thrillers, keeping the reader on edge as the detectives repeatedly go over the case, looking for any clue they might have overlooked. The killer's methods vary—from shootings to arson—each crime meticulously planned to avoid leaving any trail. He’s a few steps ahead, and the detectives can only hope he slips up to leave them a lead.

As a fan of psychological fiction, I thoroughly enjoyed Burch’s skillful plotting and complex narrative. The book's title and cover art perfectly capture its intense, mind-bending nature. The killer’s psychological game with the detectives kept me guessing and made for an intellectually engaging read.

Thanks for reading.

Book Review : From Hero to Villain

Book Review : From Hero to Villain 

"An Unflinching Tale of Survival

This memoir offers an unflinching look at what it means to survive in the face of extreme adversity. The author’s writing is direct and clear, giving the story an immediacy that makes it difficult to put down. The protagonist’s journey from a respected executive to a political pawn is laid out with such raw honesty that you can’t help but feel the weight of each moment.

What elevates this memoir beyond a typical survival story is the emotional core, driven by the secret letters exchanged with his wife. These letters become symbols of hope, love, and determination. They remind the reader that even when the physical world crumbles, the emotional ties that bind us can remain strong.

The author paints a vivid picture of the mental and physical toll of captivity, while also showing the resilience needed to endure such conditions. It’s a gripping and at times heartbreaking tale of perseverance, one that will leave you reflecting on the true meaning of strength."
