About a month ago now, I posted the “Stories of Science” article, in which, I mentioned reading “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch. This was my first read of 2025 and followed my last read of 2024, “Recursion” also by Blake Crouch, which I absolutely loved. “Dark Matter” was as equally interesting as “Recursion,” though if I…Continue Reading Book Review: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

As I have stated repeatedly, one of the best ways to better understand other cultures, identities, and traditions is through the wonderous worlds of literature. Whether it be fictional or factual,…Continue Reading Book Review: Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta

It’s been 68 years since the first satellite, Sputnik 1, launched, and four years later the…Continue Reading In the Shelves and Stars
