Non-Linear Timelines: Why Some Books Jump Around
Have you wondered why a book doesn't flow in a sequential order? Perhaps the author switches between the past and present or jumps among different years. This isn't pure theatrics – it's an intenional literary device known as a non-linear timeline. In this post, I'll explain what it is, why some books use it, and when authors should avoid it, with examples along the way.

Looking to get back into reading? These short reads are perfect for breaking your dry spell
You've probably scrolled through BookTok before. Millions of people are talking about their recent read, which they stayed up all night to finish. You sit there and wish you could get to that point, to where you could contribute your own thoughts from the books you've read. The problem is simple - you can't get yourself to pick up the dusty novel that's been sitting on your bookshelf for years, which you tell yourself time and time again that you'll get to. It doesn't matter
