New Author Spotlight:KC Palmer This week, I had the joy of reading The Art of Simplicity: 10 Ways to Find Inner Peace through Emotional Healing and Self-Discovery by KC Palmer — a new voice on Amazon, and one that immediately caught my attention for all the right reasons. From the very first page, Palmer’s tone feels calm, genuine, and deeply human. The dedication alone sets the mood — warm and wholesome — and what follows is a thoughtful blend of self-reflection, practical guidance, and soulful wisdom. I’ll admit, I started this one with a bit of skepticism. But somewhere between the prologue and the final chapter, my perspective softened. So much of what Palmer shares resonated with what I already feel in my day-to-day life as a soulvert . The soulwork, shadow work, and mindful tasks within the pages all carry that magnetic, healing energy that lingers long after you close the book. It’s refreshing to see a new author enter the self-development space with such sincerity and...

If Gone left you breathless… Hunger leaves you aching. This one is raw. Gritty. Real. The kind of story that crawls under your skin and stays there. The Coates kids are back — still trapped, still fighting — but now the real HUNGER begins. And if you’ve ever felt it yourself… that empty, gnawing ache that turns everything sharp and desperate… you’ll feel this book in your bones. 💀🥀 It hits harder when you remember — they’re just kids. Starving. Struggling. Leading. Trying to survive a world that’s falling apart around them. Goosebumps. Every chapter. Every lie. Every fight. A brutal, thrilling continuation that doesn’t let you look away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Because this series? It devours you right back.

  🌌 Gone by Michael Grant — Still Just as Wild Some stories mark a moment in time — a spark that ignites your love for an entire genre. For me, Gone by Michael Grant was that spark. I first read it back in middle school, when dystopian fiction was just starting to sink its claws into me. I didn’t know it then, but Gone would become one of those stories that stayed, tucked somewhere between the chaos and the quiet of growing up. People see the label “ YA ” and assume it’s a category, a boundary. But this book isn’t for young adults — it’s about them. Or rather, about those who never got the chance to stay young. Kids who have to lead, fight, make choices no one should ever have to make. There’s something raw about that. Something that makes you think about what power really does to a person, even when they’re still figuring out who they are.
