A touching read on what it means to be yourself, how art can both heal and mend friendships and set you free or hold you back, with amazing illustrations and storylines by a talented author.

This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

Lovely book, toddlers loves it!

Really inspirational for me, and it was a beautiful and motivating read.

One of my favorites

While I love Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books, I am not as thrilled with her other work. Nothing wrong with them, I just don’t find the characters as engaging, or maybe it’s that they are not as colorful. This book pairs together a NASCAR driver with a woman looking to find her brother in Miami. It’s lighthearted with some darker events and, of

You with the Sad Eyes by Christina Applegate is a raw, emotional, and deeply vulnerable memoir. I have always loved Christina as an actress, but this book made me appreciate her even more as a person. She shares her story with honesty, humor, and courage, opening up about painful parts of her life, fame, illness, and survival in a way that feels incredibly human. What I loved most was her vulnerability. She does not try to make her life sound perfect or polished, and that honesty makes the book powerful. It is heartbreaking at times, but also moving and inspiring because you see her strength beneath the sadness. A beautiful, brave memoir from someone I already admired.

I recently discovered this author and he has quickly become one of my favorites. This story is creepy and disturbing, but what makes it even more interesting is that the central character, Coraline NOT CAROLINE, is a young girl which allows her to behave in more interesting ways than an adult would. And don’t worry. All of your “But what about…” questions are answered in the end.

There is just something about this book I did not like. I’m not sure if it was the writing, which was flat and took way too many words to explain things, or if it was simply the plot, no pun intended. It’s about a writer who takes someone’s idea for a story. But I found the events predictable and frankly was glad when the book was done.

Even if my life depended on it, I would still be hard pressed to explain what this book was about. There are two sisters who are twins. They are nothing alike and hate each other…except when they don’t. Their mother is dead…or is she? One sister, who is an author, wrote a book about her life with her mother…or did the dead mother write the book? Then at the very, very end of the book, it seems like the sisters’ band together to go back in time to sop their mom and dad from having sex so that they are not born. They want to do this because their lives are so terrible. ??? Not a short book and definitely not worth the time.
