The genre of speculative fiction involving magical elements, typically set in a fictional universe and sometimes inspired by mythology and folklore is fantasy.

The genre which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life is science fiction.

A really good book is fantastic (in other words).

✖️But they can also turn out to be dull, silly, hard-to-read, inaccurate.

But I hope the books you read are mostly well-written.

Hello everyone,

We’re living through difficult times now.

What else I can personally do is to continue my work and share what I get to know,
what I find out for myself and for you.

What most of us are feeling today:

▪️distress
▪️anxiety
▪️heartbreak
▪️despair
▪️fear

🔹Stick to a routine: it is useful in making life feel a bit more predictable.

🔹Look after your body: physical activity is extremely valuable for managing mental wellbeing.

🔹Don’t be afraid to cry: firstly, it is perfectly ok. It also has a healing effect, too.

🔹Connect with others. “A problem shared is a problem halved”.

🔹Think how you can contribute.
