My reading list includes a mix of gripping stories and thought-provoking narratives. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin explores friendship and creativity, while The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward delivers a dark and twisty psychological thriller. For a touch of fantasy, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros brings dragons and forbidden romance to life, and Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner offers a heartfelt memoir about family, grief, and culture.

She heard her phone buzz on the nightstand, lighting up with a text: "Don't turn around." Her heart froze as she realized the message was sent from her own number.

If I could travel to any fictional book world, I would choose Hogwarts from Harry Potter. The idea of stepping into a castle brimming with magic, secret passages, and enchanted artifacts is irresistible. I’d start with a feast in the Great Hall under its enchanted ceiling, reflecting the sky above. Attending classes like Charms and Transfiguration would be a dream come true, learning spells that bring creativity to life. I’d cautiously explore the Forbidden Forest to glimpse magical creatures like hippogriffs and centaurs, and I wouldn’t miss the chance to wander the Restricted Section of the library to uncover forgotten magical mysteries. To top it all off, I’d soar through the skies in a thrilling game of Quidditch. The mix of adventure, discovery, and a sense of belonging makes Hogwarts the ultimate magical escape.

A mystery in my own life that could serve as a compelling book plot would revolve around the idea of unearthing lost connections. Imagine discovering a hidden journal or set of encrypted messages left by a distant connection—a friend, relative, or unknown mentor—hinting at secrets from a shared past or events you were too young to understand.
The story could involve piecing together fragments of the past, traveling to locations tied to those memories, and uncovering truths about choices, sacrifices, and unspoken bonds. The emotional core would be the tension between longing to know the truth and fearing what that truth might reveal.
This journey could explore themes of identity, belonging, and how the past shapes who we become, turning ordinary life into an extraordinary exploration of self-discovery and connection.
