Night Reader Reviews (683 KP) rated An Indelible Day in Books
Nov 25, 2020
An Indelible Day by Cairo Marques is a short story only about 30 pages long that shouldn’t take readers longer than a few hours to finish. Broken down into three parts there are easy to reach stopping points should a reader not be able to read the entire thing in one sitting. For those such as myself who do not know what ‘Indelible’ means I took the time to look it up and it is loosely defined as something that can not be forgotten.
It is difficult to write a summary of a book of this length without creating nothing but one big spoiler but I will try my best. C appears to be a nice man but something is fundamentally wrong in his life. It would seem that C has trouble not only feeling, processing, and expressing his emotions but also connecting with those in his peer group. Yet a rescheduled doctor’s appointment could lead him on a path to a potentially life changing encounter.
What I liked best was C’s character as he is very intriguing. There seems to be layers to him just asking to be uncovered. I couldn’t help but wonder about C’s past and why her has the difficulties he appears to be suffering from. Sadly what I didn’t like was that after finishing the book I found myself asking why this was important. What was the significance of these events? In the preface the author mentions most readers will probably fall into one of two categories. (1) Those who find it pointless and wanting their time back of (2) those wanting more. While I find myself in the latter categorize the vagueness of the ending really let me down.
Ideal readers for this book would be busy adults who don’t have the time or the concentration to read a long novel. As I can only classify this book as fiction there is no one genre preface that I believe would enjoy this book over another. The writing style is not so complex that it requires a high reading level, skill, or specific knowledge to enjoy. I rate this book 2 out of 4 or 3 out of 5. The book was very well written and was an enjoyable read. Yet it was too short for the amount of information it was trying to convey and the ending was unclear. Honestly the book would have gotten a higher rating if it was longer, contained more backstory, and gave more details about the results of the chance encounter. I also felt like there was some deeper meaning or point to this story that I was missing.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Dawn by SG Lewis in Music
Jun 26, 2019
SG Lewis is a London-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Not too long ago, he released his “Dawn” EP ahead of his two high profile festival appearances at North Coast Music Festival and Jay-Z’s Made In America, and a headlining tour in September.
His 6-track project, released via Casablanca and Republic Records, is the third and final chapter of his three-part concept album, entitled, Dusk, Dark, Dawn.
“I forgive, I forget all the words I’ve never spoken. I’ve been lost, I’ve been hurt, I’ve been blamed. Sitting here on the floor feels like I’ve been high forever. Coming down, falling hard, all in vain.” – lyrics
‘Easy Loving You’ tells a bittersweet tale of a heavy-hearted young man who struggles to cope with the pain after suffering an emotional breakup with his girlfriend.
Looking back in hindsight, he realizes that she wasn’t an easy person to love, and their problematic relation was doomed from the start because they were oceans apart.
Later, he admits that both of them are broken and in need of emotional repair. Also, it hurts every time he remembers that they are no longer together.
‘Easy Loving You’ contains a gloomy storyline, heartfelt vocals, and melodic instrumentation flavored with sentimental and electro-R&B elements.
“Blue, in your eyes as I fall for the night. But you’ll fade away when morning light is rising. Leave a taste lingering on my skin. Have I been here before? You touch me and I fall. I close my eyes on the horizon, me and you. I can see the lights inside my mind are glowing blue.” – lyrics
Not too long ago, SG Lewis released the psychedelic, Rainbow Road tinged music video for his EP opener, entitled, “Blue”.
The likable tune was inspired by the countless amount of hours that Lewis spent in airports while touring over the last year.
Get acquainted with his music by streaming his “Dawn” EP via Spotify.
“‘Dawn’ is the final phase of the 3-part album I have spent the last 18 months working on. ‘Dawn’ captures the energy of the end of the night, the intimacy of the quieter moments, and the emotions felt after the energetic highs of ‘Dark’. It is a more introspective phase, and is the most personal music I think I have ever released.” – SG Lewis
It’s been an impressive year for SG Lewis, with SOLD-OUT shows across North America, Asia, and Europe.
Not too long ago, Dark‘s lead single, “Hurting”, hit No.1 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart.
Also, Lewis played a prime slot at this year’s Coachella and continues to cement his status as not one of London’s hottest new talents, capable of making a splash on both sides of the Atlantic.

Jun 11, 2020
At eighteen, Ginny "Zinny" Beale is a lighthearted, fun, brave girl with a close group of friends and brother with whom she can unite against their uptight mother. But one night changes all of that. Someone sets the town's high school on fire and in the aftermath, the father of Ginny's best friend, Gray, is dead. The townspeople look for someone to blame--leaving most of it on a troubled teen--but Ginny learns some news that changes her entire world. She tells no one, but the secret alters her life and leaves her an outcast among her friends and family. Over the next twenty years, Ginny transitions, settling down, returning to her hometown and marrying Harris, a professor. They have a daughter, Avery, and Ginny cares for her mother, who is dying. But when scandal rocks the town again--this time focused on Harris--Ginny has to make some choices. It's time to confront the past and the secret she's kept buried all this time.
"In one night, one night, I lost all of them."
I adore Marisa de los Santos and her writing, though this wasn't my favorite of her books. Still, she's just so good at capturing the little moments in life: nailing down the feelings and emotions of her characters. Ginny, Avery, and others spring to life in this one. The story swings between past and present, with older excerpts often told from Ginny's diary entries. It takes a while to learn Ginny's big secret, which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine: I'm not always a fan of dragging out a secret.
This is a poignant and sad read, delving into marriage, love, and parenthood. My favorite character was fifteen-year-old Avery, who is hit hard by the incident involving her father, Harris. In many ways, I was far more invested in Avery's growth than Ginny's--I liked Ginny, but I couldn't quite find myself fully wanting to root for her. Although the juxtaposition between young Zinny and present-day Ginny was quite well-done.
Did you stop being your old selves? Did they fall away? Were you always only the self you were in the present?
The book explores how one secret can so change a person and the ripple effect it has on many lives. Ms. de los Santos examines her characters very closely via her writing, and I will always love picking up her books and getting an intimate look at her cast of players. In the end, this is a touching and well-written novel, even if I couldn't always find myself fully engaged in Ginny's world. 3.75 stars, rounded to 4 here.
