Curled Crystal: Vol-1 by S. Nimma

Image
  πŸ“š BOOK REVIEW Curled Crystal: Vol-1 by S. Nimma Some books entertain, some provide comfort—but then there are books like Curled Crystal: Volume One by S. Nimma that ask you to step into the storm of another person's head. The novel follows young Veronica, who is burdened with trauma, fractured relationships, and the invisible wars created by undiagnosed mental illness. Nimma's writing is intentionally chaotic—fragmented, looping, and heavy—as it reflects the spirals of Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder authentically. What I found most impactful was the unapologetic honesty of the pieces. Characters such as Adarsh, a self-proclaimed sociopath, and Yuvi, a imperfect but loyal friend, are powerful waves on Veronica's journey. Themes of self-harm, toxic intimacy, and the search for self run vivid and dynamic in the reading experience. This is not a novel of hope, of healing, or even redemption—it is a novel about the heavy, suffocating "before," ...

  πŸ“š BOOK REVIEW Faith and Valor: Leading With The Seven U.S. Army Values by Dr. Plourde Vallon Faith and Valor: Leading With the Seven U.S. Army Values is written by Dr. Plourde Vallon. This book talks about leadership insights and life principles. Sometimes, getting to know unknown things and people explores the untouched places of the mind and personality. The same happened to me when I came across "Faith and Valor: Leading With the Seven U.S. Army Values" by Dr. Plourde Vallon. This book talks about leadership and encourages us to live with courage, honesty, and faith. The book talks about the seven Army values—Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage—but not in a complicated or distant way. We find reflections from the Bible in this book and they show us how the values guide us in our day-to-day life. The most important message which this book gives us is to live with integrity and be humble toward others. It also encourages us to ...
