The Time Machine

H. G. Wells

The Time Machine is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. 
One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine.
A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells's sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization.

Up All Day

Rebecca Weller

From the author of the bestselling sobriety memoir, A Happier Hour, comes the long-awaited sequel, Up All Day… 
Rebecca Weller talked about a lot of things she ‘intended to do’, when she was drinking. Big, bold plans written on the backs of napkins, shared with friends over their tenth round, and drunkenly scrawled into her journal late at night. Plans that magically evaporated like stardust in the morning light. 
On the verge of celebrating two years of sobriety, and as determined as ever to ‘reach her full potential’, she thinks she’s got it all figured out. But when she’s offered a place in a book course and a chance at becoming a Real Writer, will she dare to confront her secret lifelong dream? 
She's about to discover that her hard-won sober status will only take her so far. What comes next is up to her. 
Up All Day is an uplifting true story about overcoming our limiting beliefs and embracing our dreams - especially when they appear in a form we didn't expect. It’s about being brave, and doing hard things (even if you might fail), because of how they change you.

Alexander the Great - The Rise...

Kelly Mass

The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world. 
In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over. This was one of the things that shows us how much of a difference he made as a ruler in his empire.
