Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage.
There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.
Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next.
Rich with Fredrik Backman’s “pitch-perfect dialogue and an unparalleled understanding of human nature” (Shelf Awareness), Anxious People is an ingeniously constructed story about the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope—the things that save us, even in the most anxious times.
Guardians of The Red Soil by Abdiriza...
About The Book.
The book is about a tale of resistance, loyalty, and hidden truths, set against the arid beauty of a forgotten village nestled deep in the savannah. Wayam may appear as just a speck on the map, but beneath its soil lies something priceless; so valuable that powerful forces are willing to erase an entire community to claim it.
Under the quiet leadership of Mzee Hassan, a seasoned village elder, the people of Wayam prepare, not just to defend their land, but to protect their history, their dignity, and the soul of their community.
This story is a mirror of many silent battles fought across forgotten lands: where greed meets resilience, and where the most powerful resistance is not in weapons, but in unity, courage, and Faith.

Animal Farm by George Orwell
As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals, and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published.
As we witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, we begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our cruelest oppressors.
Brilliant, but broken by Innocent Baluge
Six months ago, he vanished without a trace, a man whose life seemed a portrait of success. Now, he's a ghost haunting a hospital wing, his past a lie, his future a fading prognosis. The world knew him as a symbol of hope and prosperity. But his real story began far from the spotlights, in the war-torn villages of the Congo, where he was born in a bush, not a hospital.
Joseph’s journey from a child of war to an academic prodigy in Paris was a testament to his ambition. Yet, the city of light was also a city of shadows, where a supposed savior, a man once revered as Mokonzi, became a cautionary tale. He was the golden ticket out, but his "help" came with a price, and the price was his freedom. Now, as visitors from his past threaten to shatter his carefully constructed lies, he is forced to confront the truth of his present, a truth as unforgiving as the disease slowly taking his life.
This is the story of a man who fought his way out of the daily struggle of life and war, only to find himself trapped by the very ambitions that saved him. Will he find a way to make peace with his past, or will he die a brilliant but broken man, a secret buried with him forever?
