Everyone knows how the world ends.

Very few know how it began.

Before the Fall is the first book in The Fall series — not about life after the collapse, but the final days before everything breaks.

When people still believe help is coming.
When rules still matter.
When the wrong choice hasn’t been made… yet.

This is the start of the fall.

Before the Fall

Reading a #book excerpt.

Calling all #writers…I do love hearing writers read from their books, it’s real, it’s personal. It’s like being at a book launch. If you do read and share here, please send me a li’l notice!

Here’s my short excerpt (I’m using the mic on my iPad.)

Going to read the next chapter of David Yallop's book "In God's name" today and what I will read is: "Inside The Conclave".
Funny coincidence.

What book cataloguing site are people using these days? I won't use Goodreads because of Bezos, and I dislike LibraryThing (it looks like it was designed in the '90s). I don't want anything that requires me to download and use an app. It needs to be web-based.

Recommendations, anyone?

Solitude in the Shade of Books

People who grow up reading a lot of books and watching many movies often find themselves alone at some point. Their solitude reflects the words of poet Abul Hasan—
"At last, I have learned that man is alone."

This happens because book lovers mature faster than their peers.

Over time, their thoughts, interests, and perspectives change. They develop a deeper sense of art, logic, and observation that others may not understand. Their way of seeing the world becomes sharper and more thoughtful. As a result, they no longer connect with the mindset and priorities of people their age.

That’s why people say—when you start losing friends, it means you are maturing. These individuals often feel like they were born in the wrong era. They struggle to relate to others and may feel frustrated with old friends. Thoughts like "Why don’t they think like me?" or "Why do they act so irrationally?" become common.

With time, they start withdrawing into their own world. Friends, relatives, and familiar faces no longer fit in. Their world becomes a space for their own thoughts, ideas, and priorities.

And in the end, no one remains—only solitude.

Another book on the round! 'Recalibrating Destiny' by Jeff Arwadi, 2022.
This essay dives into the lyrics of Kekal's album 'Envisaged.'
I love Kekal's music, so I'm sure this will be a delightful read!

Back in the days of school, I liked becoming sick. It meant a day break from school, staying at home and maybe doing some computers geeky stuff.

Now I hate becoming ill. And thank God, with the strong immune system I have, it's not easy to become physically sick. I don't like becoming sick as it prevents me from doing geeky computers stuff or reading books.

I don't easily become sick. But I do have #depression seasons from time to time.

Cozy Up With These 22 Chilly Winter Reads

"With winter mostly upon us (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least), you may find yourself settling down beneath the blankets with a mug of something hot and a good book or three. Some prefer to escape in fantasies of deserts and warmth, but we’re doubling down this season with a list of wintry reads featuring frozen tundras, majestic ice castles, and at least one magical wardrobe"
