There is power in reading stories of times that have already passed. Though those times may not always have been less choatic or stressful, there are lessons there from which we can learn in our current, crazy world. With this week's recs, we're featuring seven historical fiction novels. Some very well known, like The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and some lesser known ones like Etched in Stone. You're sure to find one you have never seen before yet.

The chemtrail conspiracy has its roots in the difference between contrails and chemtrails. Contrails, short for condensation trails, are just water vapor produced when jet engines burn fuel at high altitude. The cold air condenses the exhaust, leaving that white line behind. Science explains it easily.

What's better than some time alone with a good fantasy book? This week, we've gathered a selection of fantasy novel recs that all have that magical vibe to them––some historical fantasy, some contemporary, but all great reads for the cold months. Especially Rebel of the Sands, which plays out in a desert. What better way to escape the dreary fall weather? And The Courtesan's Eye, by an author duo we've interviewed before, has finally made an appearance in one of our weekly re

This week, we've interviewed author Mika C.C. about her romance novel "Fastballs & Flirts". Her fifth book, the novel touches on themes of buried trauma, and has a romance between a girl and her brother's bad-boy best friend. She told us how she got into writing, what the novel is about and some other interesting facts, like for example that she wrote the book in only two months (and that her name is pronounced like Pikachu, without the ‘chu’)!

The Montauk Project, one of the most infamous and bizarre conspiracy theories in American history. This conspiracy theory includes science gone too far, hidden experiments on children, and a military base that some people swear is still active… even though it’s been “closed” for decades. The official story says Camp Hero was just a radar station, nothing more. But believers think it was home to something much bigger, and much darker.

Though poetry is a fantastic genre, we have never featured poetry books in our weekly book recs yet. Today, we're changing that. We've compiled a list of poetry we've read and enjoyed, and we think you might just like it, too. It's a nice mixture of indie poetry booklets and better known, well established poetry books, so you're guaranteed to find one you haven't read yet.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Holleigh Rae, author of "Eagle", the "Force Recon Series" Book One. We asked her where she drew her inspiration from, what the book is about, and what some of the most important themes in her book were, and she told us about her faith as a christian, her pride in being a country girl, her own personal experience with having close ones in the army and how she did research on the types of missions that the Marine Force Recon do.

Have you ever walked through an airport that just felt… off? Not like, “my flight’s delayed and I’m starving” kind of off, but the kind where you start wondering if maybe, just maybe, something’s hiding underneath your feet. Welcome to Denver International Airport, or as conspiracy theorists lovingly call it, the world’s weirdest airport.
