The book, published in 2016, became an international bestseller due to its candid, no-nonsense attitude toward personal development, resonating with readers who are tired of the relentless pursuit of happiness and success as portrayed in mainstream culture.

Rick Riordan Presents Imprint vs short stories from class:
My creative project is a compare and contrast between three books from a published imprint to several short stories we have read in class. The imprint is called Rick Riordan Presents, Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson series and many others who have partnered with Disney Hyperion Book Group to complete a simple goal. From Riordan himself, he states on the imprint's website “the goal of the imprint is to publish great middle- grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythologies and folklore of their own heritage” (Riordan). The respective stories that I have chosen to analyze focus on Korean, Hindu, and West African mythologies. Those books are The Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee, Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi, and Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia. The PowerPoint presentation will be analyzing settings, conflicts, and themes in the primary and secondary sources.

Extreme Horror At Its Finest. Content Warning.
Horror stories have been something I’ve loved for a long time. From the time I was roughly around the age of nine, I’ve felt the need to push myself in the horror stories I’ve consumed. It started with films like Jaws, Jurassic Park, The Exorcist, Halloween, along with many, many other films as the years have gone by. There have also been the many authors of horror fiction that have captured my interest in a vice grip and have yet to let go. You have Richard Matheson, Josh Malerman, Bentley Little, and of course, the master of the macabre, Stephen King. While these authors have left me with a good share of sleepless nights, no book has left me emotionally destroyed and creatively inspired as a writer myself in equal measure like Survivor by the late J.F. Gonzalez.
