The Sweet Surprise: Like A Box of Chocolates Review

💖 "Like A Box of Chocolates" is a poetic journey into the real and raw—perfect for escaping and finding yourself. ✨ #PoetryGems #IndieReads #WordArt

Step right up, poetry lovers and curious minds! Today, we're diving headfirst into "Like A Box of Chocolates: A Collection of Poetry" by Justin Bienvenue. And let me tell you, this isn't your grandma's poetry collection (unless your grandma is super cool and into innovative verse, in which case, high five to her!).

The description promises a "uniquely wonderful world of poetry," and I'm all in! What truly excites me about this collection is the idea that the poems are not just about emotions, but were "written with them as well." That's the heart of indie poetry right there – raw, unfiltered, and straight from the soul. It sounds like Bienvenue is tackling the stuff we all grapple with daily: self-discovery, overcoming struggles, and even the pressures of humanity. Who hasn't felt that weight?

But then, the twist! We're promised an escape through horror, fantasy, sci-fi, humor, and nature. This blend of relatable reality and imaginative outlets sounds like a perfect recipe for getting lost in words and forgetting the daily grind. An "enigma of a book" for fans of rhyme and prose? Yes, please! As someone who champions indie authors, I'm always looking for those collections that push boundaries and offer something genuinely different. This sounds like it could be a fantastic entry point for poetry newbies too, which is just awesome.

My Honest Rating: 4.5 loft. This collection has me buzzing with anticipation for an emotional yet escapist read.

Across Three Continents: A Tale of Power, Deception, and the Brutal Shadow of Slavery

A mesmerizing historical epic that masterfully weaves truth with lies through an unreliable narrator whose ambition knows no bounds. Agawu-Kakraba's "The Restless Crucible" burns with unforgettable intensity! 🌍📜🔥 #HistoricalFiction #AfricanDiaspora #SlaveTradeNarrative Freedom fighter or opportunistic villain? In Yaw Agawu-Kakraba's spellbinding historical novel "The Restless Crucible," the answer depends entirely on who's telling the story.

What begins as Pedro's memoir quickly reveals itself as something far more complex and fascinating. Agawu-Kakraba employs a truly innovative narrative structure where the omniscient narrator eventually wrests control from Pedro, exposing the protagonist's manipulations and fantasies for what they t...
