  • Good non fiction?

    I already do despise realistic fiction most times, and have never found any interest in the non fiction books I bought, though, this year I want to try.

    What are some good non fiction books, ones that really do keep you engaged? I'm mostly interested in creative writing (not self help books though please), feminism, psychology, anthropology, sociology, arts, internet culture, animals, literature, cryptids and very weird (or slightly creepy) history facts.

    I feel like, in general, I dislike anything that tries to teach me something the way a school textbook would. I want something engaging and that brings interesting takes to the table, not just plain information. I've been a huge fan of video essays, on the topics I listed earlier, lately, if that can be of any help to make you imagine what I may enjoy.

    I'm open to other topics as well if they are written in a catchy way, but please, no self help books, no finance, no economy, no business, no maths, no physics.

  • A Master of Djinn (Dead Djinn Universe, #1)
    Read “A Dead Djinn in Cairo” First!

    I am so surprised and absolutely delighted that this book is part of the upcoming Spring Seasonal Read! It’s such a brilliant book.

    I would highly, highly recommend people to read the novella “A Dead Djinn in Cairo” that sets just before “A Master of Djinn”. There is so much lore explained here, it sets the world better for reading “A Master of Djinn” and introduces relationships (one might seem rushed and odd without reading the novella first). It is all same characters in A Dead Djinn!
