The Reapers are the Angels ( Reapers book 1)
By Alden Bell
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free.
For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself and keeping her demons inside her heart. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.
This was just fantastic. It was beautifully written. We follow the journey of a 15 year old girl crossing the country of a zombie filled world. It’s was so gruesome I loved it. Temple will stay with me for a very long time. Didn’t expect that ending but it was just so good.

Every Sunday Marlene and her mother, Paola, go to the salon to straighten their hair so that it’s “presentable” and “good hair”. But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn’t understand why she can’t wear her hair natural and embrace her curls. With a few missteps, and help from her best friend Camila and her Tia Ruby - Marlene slowly begins her journey to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
This is a very important book for young girls out there who need to know that embracing and feeling comfortable in your natural hair is something to celebrate and show off.
Along with step-by-steps from Tia Ruby on how to take care of her hair, Marlene and her Tia also have a discussion on generation trauma and what that means and how it affects every generation. They were both important topics that I felt like were handled with care, especially for the age group this novel is aimed towards.
I loved the illustrations by Rose Rousamra, they were stunning and conveyed Marlene’s journey perfectly. The color pallet for everything was beautiful as well.

Love the journey planner recent addition
No need for an A to Z
This is one of the most essential Apps and has replaced the need for a book or map. I don't use it that often or to it's full potential. For me it's a tool for checking how to travel from a to b and love the fact you can also check the street view in advance of where you are going to. Along with it also telling you which direction you are facing and travelling, you should never get lost again!

Oooooh laaaaaa
I admit I was late discovering this LP. My early 20's but OMG! Once I did it blew my freaking ears off.
Not a duff tune among them. Forget the remakes and the dance remixes! Wrap your lugs around the original.
I'm not a big lover of Richard Burton, even though he comes from the same Welsh town as me but I have to say it wouldn't be the same without him.
If you've never heard it before, it's not just Eve of the War and Forever Autumn!

Wonderfully honest and refreshing
Very rarely do we see such an honest glimpse of depression, a hideous and insidious condition that affects a large part of the population. However, Matt Haig's self-help book crosses over into the memoir genre, in which he speaks about his journey through the depths of his anxiety.
It is brutal at times, especially when he speaks about contemplating suicide, but it is ultimately hopeful. Although not everything will resonate with everyone, the main factors are similar across the board, and it allows you to gain insight into other's experiences of the illness. A surprisingly good read.

Relate-able content (apart from the magic)
Magical
So much detail
The Begining
This is the start of a magical journey. Once you start reading, you won't stop until you've read all 7 and watched all 8 movies. It has so much details. So many people can relate to characters with real life problems from PTSD, Anxiety, ETC and people can relate to the emotions you read about from embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.
