Hydrangeas
by Naomi Slade

book cover


Although the writing style is heavily inclined towards "purple prose," and there are a couple of small copy editing errors, hydrangea enthusiasts and gardeners are likely to still greatly enjoy reading and learning from this very informative book. The accompanying photography is stunning!
The Way I Used To Be
by Amber Smith

book cover


The Way I Used To Be was heartbreaking. The plot, characters, and what eventually happens broke me. The main character, Eden was once a spirited young girl until Kevin, her brother's best friend really r her. This is a story that should be shared throughout. The message is clearly worthy. For Eden, that pushed down trauma only hurt her more. She runs away from herself and all she's ever known - her family, friends, home. Her high schools years abruptly shift, until it's too unbearable. It frustrated me because of her silence. She never told anyone. I know that this book taught me a lot.

I love Kate Quinns books which are usually historical fiction. This story was more fantasy and I struggled ro get through it. Sadly not for me.

I was very excited about this book. It sucked me in through the first 80% and lost a bit of steam. There were a few loose strings I’d like to have had cleared up . Overall, I enjoyed it yet wanted more from it.

This was a quick read. I did get sucked in wondering what happened “that day”. At one point I thought someone would die. But everything turned out alright. While it was enjoyable, I wasn’t blown away by it. And I seriously question the main character’s ability to taste based on the descriptions of the things she ate.

A dog lover’s delight, this book is full of interesting and entertaining stories, sprinkled generously with beautiful illustrations.

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

I adore this series. Light fun and intriguing. Each book said with be characters and interest. The references to everyday tasks with a mystical element are delightful.

FLEW through this. Ending was abrupt. Understand why it happened that way but wish we got to see the future, not just a cutoff after remembering. Definitely a heavy read. And very flashback heavy - could’ve done with more piecing together in present. Also why do we not get any closure about the photo awards???
Fun Home

A thought provoking memoir in the condensed form of a graphic novel. The writing is concise yet captivating. I will be adding Bechdel's other graphic novels to my reading list.
