Hi everyone! I'm currently reading a book called Of Salt and Women by Gabriela Garcia, which I got from a book club I'm in. The bookclub organiser decided for us all to read books for National Hispanic Heritage Month (in the US) but I had a few issues with mine being delivered so I'm only just getting to it now.

It primarily follows a Cuban family, starting with the independence struggle to the present day (when the book was written). There is also a woman from El Salvador and her daughter. Not very far in but I'm finding it very interesting and well-written so far.

Dumb Orphans by Allan Low is a heartfelt story about children who’ve been forgotten by society. It follows their journey through hardship, showing their fight to survive, stay strong, and find a sense of belonging. The book shines a light on the tough reality of growing up without care or guidance.
The story of the Bundu bunch living in the community really hits home for me because I went through poverty as a child too. I can relate to their struggles, feeling like the world had forgotten us. Reading about their journey reminds me of my own tough times growing up without much.
Aiyasha’s fight until the very end in Dumb Orphans is truly inspiring. Her determination and resilience stand out as she strives to give herself and the other orphans a chance at a better life. What really moved me was how she instilled the value of education in the children around her, despite their difficult circumstances. Aiyasha understood that knowledge was not just a way out, but a key to personal empowerment. She showed them that even in the face of adversity, education could be a lifeline, offering hope for a brighter future.
Her unwavering belief in learning, even when life seemed impossible, made me reflect on how much we take education for granted. The book beautifully portrays how Aiyasha’s commitment to education transformed not just her own life, but also the lives of others in the orphanage, leaving a lasting impact on their hearts and minds. Dumb Orphans is a powerful reminder of the importance of education.
In this light, this book is highly recommended. It has a lot of positive impact in one’s life. It moves to struck at heart that every person has their own right to education whether we are poor or privilege.

I recently dove into The Unfakeable Code, and let me just say, it’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you close it. The premise is simple yet powerful: authenticity is the secret sauce to a fulfilled life. But this isn’t one of those soft, feel-good books that just scratches the surface. It digs deep into what it really means to live and operate authentically in a world obsessed with appearances and quick wins.
One thing I appreciated was how raw and relatable the examples were. The author doesn’t sugarcoat anything. They lay it out as it is, pointing out how easy it is to fall into the trap of pretending, whether it’s in our careers, relationships, or even in how we see ourselves. But what’s refreshing is that they don’t just point out the problem; they give you real, actionable ways to identify your authentic self and show up unapologetically.
What makes Unfakeable Code unique is its ability to balance self-reflection with practicality. The writing style is conversational—like having a heart-to-heart with a brutally honest but caring mentor. It’s thought-provoking, but not in a way that feels preachy or overwhelming. Instead, it pushes you to pause, rethink, and course-correct without beating yourself up about where you’ve been. I love the principles presented.
This book will feel like a breath of fresh air. It reminds you that being real isn’t just about integrity; it’s about freedom. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being you, owning your flaws, and letting go of the need to impress.
The bottom line? Unfakeable Code isn’t just a book—it’s a wake-up call. It’s for anyone tired of faking it, ready to find out what living authentically really looks like. Highly recommend picking it up if you’re ready to make that shift.

Hi there,
I finished reading and reviewed Crimeline Hollywood by Thomas Collins. I'm somewhat new to Online Book Club so this was my first review so far and I really enjoyed the book. If you like mystery/suspense novels then this would be good to read.
