I’ve always looked up to the way my mother respects my father—not out of fear or obligation, but from a place of genuine love and partnership. Growing up, I witnessed how they supported each other through thick and thin. Their relationship was far from perfect, but their dynamic was truly admirable. We used to call...

Although I've had other books by Cal Newport on my TBR, I've never given Deep Work a second glance. The title is self-explanatory and I thought that it wouldn't be too useful for me considering I can do deep work. However, recently when someone mentioned it, I decided to give it a shot. After all, books that seem to be innocuous can turn out to be what we need.| the wordy habitat

When my oldest son was about to start school, I came across a TED Talk that changed everything. It was Do Schools Kill Creativity? by Sir Ken Robinson – the one that’s been viewed over 75 million times. You’ve probably seen it too. He stood there, calm and witty, and asked a bold, almost rebellious question: Are […] The post 5 Books That Reimagined Education for Me (and Why Every Parent and Educator Should Read Them) appeared first on Parentotheca.| Parentotheca
When I'm sick, sad, frustrated, or tired and want an emotional hug, I always pick up my "comfort books." Whether I vent about it to a friend or not, my mood isn't fixed until I read a good comforting book. Sometimes, I read the entire book. Sometimes, I read a part of it. Sometimes, I skim all of it. Sometimes, I read just a chapter or two. I may read more than one book. I do whatever I feel like I need and it always makes me feel better. I'm still figuring out why these books provide me with...| the wordy habitat

I've read all of Abby Jimenez's books and while I didn't like all of them, I enjoy them at least a bit. I once consecutively read a bunch of books from her backlog, and it was fun. I discovered Yours Truly which became one of my comfort reads. Hence, when Just For The Summer was released, I had high hopes for it. And it did not disappoint.| the wordy habitat
When I decided to read all of Ali Hazelwood's backlist, I did not expect that I would want to review one of them. I read Check & Mate weeks back and it has been persistently present at the back of my mind. When you can't stop thinking about a book, it's a sign to review it and air out all the thoughts. So, here I am, to do just that.| the wordy habitat

I don't often read middle grade books but when I do, I'm always struck by how thoughtful they are. Take It From The Top was a random pick to switch genres and vibes from my previous reads.

I love any retelling of Hades and Persephone's story. It is the only one about the top gods that isn't a horrifying story. At least, as far as I know. Knowing how all the Greek myths are, maybe there's something twisted in their story too that isn't well-known.| the wordy habitat

In Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf captures the allure of gardens for those with equivocal feelings about fellow humans, writing that Sally Seton “often went into her garden and got from her flowers a peace which men and women never gave her.” Gardens offer us a glimpse into prelapsarian natural beauty and slow living, but as Olivia Laing demonstrates in The Garden Against Time: In Search of a Common Paradise, not everyone gets to relish the peace of these Edens.

Last year, I decided to start reading more big books to stop being intimidated by them. So many books look intimidating but are all the more worth it because of the length. It was time I slowly started conquering them. The next big book on my list is War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I had read online that Anna Karenina is a better read for someone reading Tolstoy for the first time, and that War and Peace is easier to read after Anna Karenina. Conquering big books is not easy so it is good to ta...| the wordy habitat
Young Adult books haven't been my thing for a good number of years. I don't enjoy almost all of them and pretty much gave up hope that I'll love any new YA book.
