![]() Verity tastes a bit of microwave success, makes some money as her poetry book becomes a best-seller, and then decides what she wanted was right in front of her all along – the bonsai garden, the small bookstore, her boyfriend Sash, her grandfather Pop, and her best friend Jess. The scene about Verity’s mother impersonating a butterfly and Verity’s answer to someone who asked her on advice for how to be a poet – those transcended above a majority of the narrative. That said, there were some poetic sentences in which I though THIS IS LANG LEAV. She seems to be able to dig into so much artistic depth in her poems, but is unable to bring that out in the structure of a fiction. Styleīefore Poemsia I read Love Looks Pretty On You which is one of Lang Leav’s poetry collection, and I must say I like that one better. ![]() Nice, but not always the best reflection of reality – hence perfect for fairy tale happy ever after fans. To be honest it’s a bit simplistic because all the problems get resolved immediately. Poemsia is fairytale-esque with first love, a supportive best friend, evil sidekick, and quick fast glamorous success. She gets everything she could have wanted, so what next? Plot ![]() ![]() When her Instagram account suddenly becomes viral, Verity Wolf is thrown into the glittery world of celebrity poets. Turns out Peomsia is a contemporary fiction about a young girl who wants to be a poet. Funny thing I thought this was one of Lang Leav‘s poetry collections at first. ![]() ![]() Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time.

Although the film adaptation deviates greatly from the novel, both versions of The Princess Diaries tackle the adolescent experience and utilize humor to tell a story about love, growing up, family, responsibility, and finding one’s inner strength. First published in 2000, The Princess Diaries became a New York Times bestseller and was quickly adapted into a 2001 film of the same name starring Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis and Julie Andrews as Mia’s grandmother.

Can an alien warrior that is afraid to lose someone actually save a human female that is afraid to trust? “Alien Selection” is a prequel in the “Alien Invasion” series and was released in the year 2019. She is a reader of anything and everything. She loves the Oxford comma, dogs, traveling, cooking, reading, writing, and drinking champagne, but not necessarily in that order. From invasions to abductions, the ride may be rough, however the end always satisfies. Her steamy science fiction stories focus on hot alien warriors and all the Earth women that they cannot resist. Her drawing skills, though, never have unfortunately. Her writing’s improved quite a lot since then. ![]() Stalking From the Shadows (By:Ember Davis)Īuthor Honey Phillips illustrated and wrote her very first book at the tender age of five. ![]() Turnabout is Fairy Play (By:Andie Fenichel)Ī Monster Worth Fighting For (By:Ava Ross) ![]() ![]() ![]() Winner of the Spalding Prize for the Promotion of Peace and Justice in Literatureįinalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for English–Language NonfictionĪ Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Selection ![]() Selected by Emma Watson as the Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick for March/April 2018Ī PBS Newshour/ New York Times Now Read This Book Club Pick The recipient of several fellowships-SWAIA Discovery Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center Fellowship, Writing by Writers Fellowship, and the Elk Writer’s Workshop Fellowship-she was recently named the Tecumseh Postdoctoral Fellow at Purdue University and resides in West Lafayette, Indiana.

The Reading List is a memorable debut novel about a list of library books, the magic of reading, and unlikely friendships. Genre/Categories/Settings: Contemporary Fiction, Books About Books, Ode to Books and Libraries, Multi-Generational Friendship, London (suburb) My Summary: ![]() I fall hard for Books About Books and it’s one of my favorite and most read categories! Following today’s review, find a list of a few of my favorite “Books About Books” titles.įor today’s review, I’m highlighting my most recent “books about books” read: Today for the #WhatsOnYourBookshelfChallenge I’m focusing on “Books About Books.” ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the first book in a series of 5 that chronicles an Amish family, their interaction with the Plain people, and secrets and dilemmas within their ranks. ![]() " I'm marking this with 3 stars only because it is a very interesting plot. " Couldn't really get into this book and ended up just shelving it after the first few chapters. Can someone just tell me what happens?! " - Lindquistheather, Kind of a coming of age book but this is the first of a 5 book series. " This was an interesting book about an Amish community in Pennsylvania. (Whew!) Now I am searching to find the other four books on cd. That said, I was about to brand this as the book with the worst ending of all time, with the most unresolved story lines, when I figured out it was only the first book in a series of five. Some of the character development is a little one dimensional, but I still found myself getting pulled in. I actually had an Amish housekeep for a while, and I felt Aimee Lilly did a fairly good job of giving her readers a feel for Amish life. ![]() I got to know the Amish people first hand when I spent several years living in North Western Pennsylvania, very near a large Amish community. " I listened to "The Covenant, Abram's Daughters" on cd while driving. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:. ![]() ![]() ![]() I got lost on a mountain bike trying to link together an epic 35-mile ride from one end of the gorge to the other. I took my first climbing courses here, struggling up top-rope routes on the picturesque Bridge Buttress. I’ve been testing myself in the New, as it’s affectionately known, for almost two decades. Hell, you can even BASE-jump here legally one day out of the year (see Bridge Day, below). Shortly thereafter, the climbers came, testing themselves on the bulletproof sandstone walls and establishing superhero routes that now top out at 5.14b. After all, West Virginia’s New River Gorge has been pushing adventurers beyond their comfort zones since the 1960s, when paddlers first started rafting the Class IV+ whitewater that surges through the gorge. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so surprised. ![]() Naturally, I was worried something terrible would happen-the rope would fail or an anchor would loosen-but mostly I was just proud to watch them get so far out of their comfort zone. ![]() So it was surreal for me to watch them lean back without a hint of hesitation and push themselves off. They were both only ten at the time I wouldn’t have blamed them. I thought they’d get to the edge of the cliff, harness and helmet on, take a peek over the edge of a 1,000-foot-deep gorge, and back out of their first rappel. ![]() |
