A Dash of Serotonin, A Pinch of Dopamine

by Noor Amjad

You could be in a bookshop on one page and in the mind of a hopeless romantic on the next. You could be feeling the grass under your feet and flip into a castle in under a second. How about you live over a hundred lives in one book? How about you open on any page and let a few words bring you a surge of emotions? How about a dash of serotonin and a pinch of dopamine?

This book is a collection of short pieces of poetry, imagery, fantasy-fiction, observation, and feelings. Author illustrated images accompany the written work. It is one hundred and sixty-eight pieces full and can be read from any page!

225 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

Noor Amjad is a life-long reader and writer of fantasy fiction. While fiction writing is one of her interests, she is also a chemical engineer by education and is currently working in the tech industry. Beyond writing, her hobbies include painting and photography. Noor is an advocate for pineapples on pizza and prefers her biryani three miles away from potatoes.

She began writing her debut novel, The Unfolding - A Scatter Plot, in Oct 2019. The structure of the book's plot was inspired by the graphical representation of a scatter plot where many points come together to form a line of best fit. The novel starts with characters dispersed in different worlds/settings. As the story progresses, they converge to carry out the plots. Hence, 'All plots must align'.

A lovely collection of Poetry, Fictional Fantasy short stories and short writings about emotions.
I love how it all just blended so well, to have different things to read almost each page. A lot of the poems and writing will be relatable to someone. If you like something different and enjoy poetry then I would recommend giving this one a read. I picked this up in the Indie Author Spring Spectacular and I'm glad I did. We all sometimes need a little dash of Serotonin and a pinch of dopamine.

The coziest compilation.
This book gives a beautiful insight into the romantic mind of the authour who is clearly a big nerd and loves nothing so much as a bookstore, an iced coffee and an adventure novel.

I read this over a long period of time which is one of the joys of this style. I let it sit over the summer, because this is definitely more of a cozy read for me. Fall or Winter only, thanks.

Oh what a lovely book. Each ‘chapter’ is a different poem, tiny story, or some text about feelings & situations. It is utterly incredible how something so tiny can be so powerful!
Some of these pages spoke out to me, some shouted & some sung! I loved it!!! - Also I truly believe it helped me sleep well!
