THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A PERSONAL JOURNAL

As per the dictionary, a journal is a written record of what you have done each day, sometimes including your private thoughts and feelings.  Everyone must have heard of Anne Frank. She is considered as the most discussed Jewish victim of the Holocaust and gained popularity posthumously with the publication of her personal diary “The diary of a young girl”.

Many got inspired by Anne to keep a journal, so did I.  You can check out my review of “ The Diary Of A Young Girl ”.  Here are a few good reasons to get started with journaling: 1. Improves your mental health. Journaling is highly effective for people suffering from depression, anxiety, and stress.

BLOG TOUR: THE MAUSOLEUM BY DAVID MARK

Hi guys! Hope you are doing well. Today I am taking part in the blog tour for "The Mausoleum" by David Mark, organised by Love Book Group. BLURB: 1967. In a quiet village in the wild lands of the Scottish borders, disgraced academic Cordelia Hemlock is trying to put her life back together.
