Currently reading<\/strong>: The Will of The Many by James Islington

Favourite book and why<\/strong>: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. This book taught me the importance of managing my personal finances and actually got me interested in finance as well. It was a great book that used different stories to talk about the value of money and the difference between flaunting and wealthy. I think this book is a very good read for anyone looking to develop a better relationship with their finances.

Currently reading<\/strong>: The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Favourite book and why<\/strong>: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It’s about a man who undergoes a surgery to increase his intelligence, and the story follows how that change affects his emotions, relationships, and view of the world. I found it incredibly moving and thought-provoking. It really made me reflect on how we define intelligence, and how much it shapes the way we experience life. It\u2019s one of the few books that has stayed with me long after finishing it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Currently reading<\/strong>: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Favourite book and why<\/strong>: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It is historical fiction about two sisters searching for freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. It is a story of resilience of the heroism of women during wartime. I love reading fiction books from the perspective of women and this one has stuck with me ever since I read it back in high school. I have continued to read and love Kristin Hannah books and The Women is next on my list!

Currently reading<\/strong>: Inferno by Dan Brown

Favourite book and why<\/strong>: The Alchamist by Paulo Coelho. I love how it blends imagination with philosophy, creating a story that is both adventurous and deeply reflective. The treasure hunt narrative is written so vividly that it immerses you in the author\u2019s imagination and journey, while its underlying message of optimism and self-discovery resonates on a personal level. It\u2019s one of those books that makes you pause, reflect, and carry its lessons long after you\u2019ve turned the last page.
