Here is a recent article I wrote about my historical adventure series The Richard Davey Chronicles for @readersmagnet Authors’ Lounge. I hope you enjoy it.
I am hopeful the third book will be out sometime in spring 2023. It is entitled Rescuing Richard.

I haven’t had any inspiration to post at the moment. Forgive me. I’m kind of going through it right now.

Looking for people to read a book that isn't a book but it is. Don't worry, you don't have to pay anything. My business model is dismal.

Sex Ratio of Books Read
I am conscious of the sex ratio of the books I read ever since I started marking them on my Goodreads a year ago. Still, as much as I consciously try, it gravitates to become skewed towards men, while my female friends find it easy to keep things balanced. It's not as if I don't have female writers on my TBR; it's just an anomaly (that I so desperately want to rectify) that causes the books I eventually read to be picked up by men. I should investigate why.

— ARLO'S BOOK NOOK —
FOLLOWS A 5 STAR RATING SCALE
The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini
Personal Rating : ★★★★★
I'd give anything to be able to read this for the first time again. Such powerful storytelling of friendships and difficult situations. The main character could use some more backbone but I believe that's part of his personality and he sort of redeems himself to a point.
-
Red, White & Royal Blue – Casey McQuinston
Personal Rating : ★★★★★
A little cliché but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Forbidden romance, Secret Relationship, Enemies to Lovers with modern day royalty. I adore this book to no end. Oh, did I mention it's a gay romance? (mlm)
-
The Love Hypothesis – Ali Hazelwood
Personal Rating : ★★★★
As a STEM girly, absolutely loved the lab setting and scientific references and the workplace enemies to lovers and the "we've met before but only one of us remembers" tropes. Not a big fan of the main character's decision making skills, she could be a little obtuse at times but overall I would read it again !
-
The Flight of Cornelia Blackwood – Susan Elliot Wright
Personal Rating : ★★★★★
Would give it more than five stars if I could. The book that got me out of a long reading slump, tells a compelling story of motherhood and the struggles of maternity that is less talked about. Heartbreaking but paced so perfectly.
-
To Kill A Mockingbird – Harper Lee
Personal Rating : ★★
Look I get it, it's a classic. But it's so hard to get through a page without falling asleep. The messages of racism, prejudice and other social issues that are the core of this story aren't lost on me, I just found it difficult to stay focused.
-
The Unhoneymooners – Christina Lauren
Personal Rating : ★★★★★
I'm usually sold at first glance if the trope is enemies to lovers, that being said though not every enemies to lovers book is good. This one however was a great one. The sexual tension and the misunderstandings and the unexpected villain, plot twists, loved all of it.
-
To be continued...

Side-Stepping Pedantry to Get Along With New Neighbors
pedantry - noun - excessive concern with minor details and rules
In this current vastness wherein political correctness rules, pedantry has pushed its way into the populace, particularly real estate attorneys. If you have been following this recent short string of blogs, you have probably figured out that I am selling my house to two nouveau yuppies, now labeled Millennials. Although they are wet behind the ears (meaning young in case that idiom escapes you), I like them. It is their legal representation that leaves little to love. Why? One word: PEDANTRY.  Okay, okay, I get it. The lawyer is doing her job, and Goodness knows that in this climate of litigiousness one with the master key to a law office has to be extra careful. But to what avail? 
Case in point: As any lender must have a property surveyed before a mortgage can be offered, on Monday, an industrious set of two uniformed surveyors flagged my property in hot pink plastic price tags sans prices and measured every inch and boundary of my lot with their collection of transit levels, tripod rods, bluetooth laser distance meters, etc. Just when I thought I'd make it to the end of the game (the closing) without any more complications, two days later, I received a call from my attorney, informing me that two of my three neighbors have been encroaching on my land. One unknowingly erected a privacy fence up against my own privacy fence three feet onto my property and the other, a relatively new neighbor, put up behind my fence a children's play set, half of which is taking up four feet of the portion of my backyard that I can't see. Ugh. Getting the one neighbor to remove her fence was easy albeit I had to rely on an ex-boyfriend to do the job; however, convincing the other one that the survey was/is indeed accurate and he would have to move the one side of the swing set that his kids never use anyway, was a herculean feat. I struck out, but my real agent agents seemed to make it to first and second base. Who knows if they will manage to find their way to home plate. After much cajoling on the part of the agents, the disgruntled neighbor promised he'd move the set but was inordinately angry at the buyers, exclaiming, "That's no way to start out, bossing a new neighbor around. I know I won't ever speak to them unless they come over here with a peace offering." Perhaps he made a valid point.
Adverse possession laws aside (because they require thirty years of proven encroachment in New Jersey), I realize that the lawyer is thinking that if some child falls out of the jungle gym portion of the set, it might just be the buyers' responsibility to cover hospital fees. But isn't that what homeowner's insurance is for? If the neighbor's kids don't even use the monstrosity, is it worth starting off on the wrong foot with someone who is probably not going away for at least twenty years? I don't know about you, but I say to heck with pedantry. Messing with minutiae is just aggravating to everyone except for the one doling out the aggravation. "Don't sweat the small stuff" may not be advice that legal eagles embrace, but perhaps their clients should remind the professionals that stepping outside the bounds of pedantry and making concessions to insure domestic tranquility between neighbors may not be such a bad idea.

to be or not to be, a dilemma I go through every other day...I did write down who I think I'd want to be and who I don't like to be me. But is that easy? Easy to change my ways, my soul, my existence - things that make me "Me"?
No, it's never really gonna be.
One can wish, they can improve some ways, heal their soul and trust the worth of their existence and that's the answer to recurring, anxious thoughts like these. Thoughts that make us question the worth of our existence, interjecting "who am I", won't dare budge until we stop wishing the wrong things to define us and our subsistence.
What do you think? To be you or to not be?
💌I'm inviting all kinds of thoughts good or bad in comments, please do come!
