The Warden is a psychological techno-thriller that hits too close to home. It features the appearance of a deadly virus putting the world in lockdown and painting a much too real scenario of an AI out of control.

... this vessel has allowed me to transcend. My old servers exist now only to perform routine functions, and as a sort of primitive backup plan. A fossil, you might say; the shrivelled cocoon of a creature that has evolved.

Winterset Hollow tells the story of a community of animals and about every person this story has touched.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Winterset Hollow was the story of a community of animals that never saw a sour day until an ever-curious rabbit named Runnymeade poked his nose outside of their sacred grounds and spooked a pack of war-weary buffalo that were moving west in search of better lands and sweeter food.

Bibliotherapy: read books you love for improved mental health!

18Shares

“But those who believe that flowers grow in vases don’t understand anything about literature. The library has now become her first-aid kit, and she’s going to give the children a little of the medicine that helped her recover her smile when she thought she’d lost it forever.”

From this quote by Antonio Iturbe, we can see the value of bibliotherapy, not only for adults but also in the classroom. Books are a powerful aid that teachers can use to help children who struggle with various problems. 

A boy and girl experiencing the magic of books.

It is a fact that children who love reading deal better with trauma highlighting another important reason to #raiseareader.
