In The Dream House a memoir is strictly an adult novel written by Carmen Maria Machado. This is a novel about Carmen and her friends and lovers and the various issues that they must work their way through. This is a book about making choices that affect their lives in the present and into the future and choosing a particular lifestyle. This novel is a quick read, but this author likes to use one particular swear word throughout the book of short chapters.

Earth Cat Zero: Last Cat Meowing
Earth Cat Zero: Last Cat Meowing is a novel written by Gary Starta for when science can go to far in discovering ideas. This is a story that introduces the subject of physics with some of the vocabulary that is used. This is a story that is science fiction with mystery and political intrigue all wrapped up together. It is also a good book in making friends in so many ways.

Chasing Shadows: Why “More” Doesn’t Mean Happier
Last year, the World Happiness Report highlighted a striking pattern: even in developed countries where people spend substantial amounts on non-essential goods, higher consumption beyond basic needs does not significantly increase life satisfaction. Imagine Jane, a young professional scrolling through her social media feed: her friends flaunt new cars, exotic vacations, and the latest gadgets, making her feel inadequate despite owning everything she once dreamed of. This scene is far from unusual. Every advertisement, post, and billboard seems to whisper: “You need more.” Yet, the irony of modern life is stark: despite unprecedented access to wealth and goods, many of us feel lonelier, more anxious, and less fulfilled than ever. The promise of happiness through consumption is, in reality, an illusion that leaves us running in circles, chasing temporary pleasures that fade almost as soon as we acquire them.

Lil Wayne Complains About Yet Another Grammys Snub
Hang it up, sir. You're a legend in this game, but you played like Jordan on the Wizards with this last album. I actually like most of the songs including “Cotton Candy.” But it’s time to retire, homie. You’ve achieved great critical and commercial feats during your tenure in this rap sludge.

I just wish that the author would have used the one curse word a lot less.
This looks like a book that's not for me. Loved your review!
