Some reflections on the conflicting reality of Dune
A few weeks ago, I finished reading Dune, a science fiction epic written by Frank Herbert in 1956. It's a read that I was really looking forward to, especially after the 2021 film adaptation, Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

Dune: a brilliant work
Dune is one of the richest science fiction novels, and that's because the themes that include the fictional universe, which is already complex, are well worked on and explored in a critical way. Dune was written by Frank Herbert, released in 1965. It had a peculiar beginning, eventually being published by a company that published manuals related to work tools, but shortly after its debut, it won an award.

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang is a fairly recent release, it came out a little over a year ago, and I recently picked up a signed copy at a used book sale. I had heard some great things, but I didn't realize that this is the author of Poppy Wars, and Babel, two books that are very different in subject to this book.

A Court of... Reviews
As an avid reader, who enjoys reading all types of books and all genres, I was unsure of the "A Court of" series. Not because I doubted the author, as I have immense respect for all who are able to write a book yet alone a 5 book series. But it was what I was reading and seeing online that made me worried.

John and Francesca: Meet-Cute to Mourning
I'll admit, I'm biased about the John/Francesca love story. Why? Because watching them on screen felt a lot like watching my own Neurodiverse Love Story. Existing together without the need to talk, non-traditional love languages, mutual support in mentally taxing social situations. Learning to advocate for themselves and each other because finally there is someone who understands you.
