I am new to enjoying poetry books because I recently exposed myself to Inquire Within by In-Q. Since then, I haven’t stopped looking for a great poetry book. Any recommendations, anyone? I'm craving a poetry book here, lol.

Interesting! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Recently, I’ve been reading some incredible books about nature, which has broadened my interest in exploring climate change. Do you guys have any book recommendations to start my exploration in climate change?

Can’t agree more.

Old Habit, New Joy: Back to Handwriting I never thought returning to my old habit of handwriting could feel so refreshing. Find out how it helps me think and feel more connected.

I don’t usually make resolutions, but I decided to start a new habit in 2025: writing more intense on paper. Reading so many books has made my mind feel noisy and I realized I need a media to clear my thoughts.

I write about this resolution on my blog:

The best thing about being an eBook reader is that I never feel intimidated by the number of pages. I just realized this when I visited a bookstore and saw that an eBook I really enjoyed had incredibly thick pages, which would have made me hesitant to read it.

Well-spent Sunday.

Saturday vibes: coffee, reading, and a mandatory bookstore visit later!

I read your recommendation and finished On Tyranny yesterday. I agree that everyone should read On Tyranny at least once in a lifetime. Now I’m reading On Freedom, it’s really interesting so far. Can’t wait to check out more of your recommendations!

Found The Politics of Time at the bookstore this week. It sounds so interesting and relate to current situation. Anyone read it?
