Lizzie’s Dream Journal by Charlie King

4 Minutes Reading Time

I’ve received an advance readers copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

It wasn’t until she went upstairs to her room that she checked the journal out. The padded leather cover around the book felt nice to touch. “If you can write it, dream it,” read the raised words on the front cover.

The Algorithm by William Knight

4 Minutes Reading Time

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

I’m fascinated by science and tech; its potential, its problems, its misuse and most specifically how it affects people. And for all its enormous impact, we didn’t vote for it. It simply arrived when some giant firm said so. But there has never been a more relevant time to explore our relationship with technological progress and the benefits we have been sold.
