A great store with a bit of history. The author did historical research before writing the book. All the characters have great personalities that blend well in the friend ship of the sewing circle. A great book.

Wow! This was a one of a kind "reading" experience! I 100% recommend the audio version of this book. From the snippets of Alicia singing and playing the piano to the short poignant guest speakers at the beginning of a few chapters made the audio version stand out fantastically. Learning about how Alicia came to be in her current stage in life, the way she supports women in all the ways she can, and how she has kept her marriage and family at the forefront of her life (ahead of her career) was amazing to read about. Now, I do not care for books that go into one's political views, and she does quite a bit of that in her book (whether I agree or disagree with political views, I do not look to celebrities to influence me, I will do my own research and come to my own opinions). Though, I can't discount the fact that listening to her tell her life's truth and showcase her artistry made me look past those political moments.

I will have to say right upfront that this should have a domestic violence warning. With that being said, I really enjoyed this book. Watching a mother, her mother and her daughter going through a life littered with teen pregnancies and trying to break generational curses was so deep and sad in ways. Trying to break away from a life with a man that was abusive did not help her cause. The moments that struck me the deepest were watching her not think she deserved a better life. I love Esmeralda Santiago's writing and thought this book was wonderful!

Great

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I only don't really like Tamlin and I feel like his relationship with Feyre is not very believable. I liked everything after she goes under the mountain, and everything that happens with Rhysand.

This book is very funny. It is about a unicorn and a girl who have adventures together. In this particular book it talks about going to music camp and about the summer and how it went for the girl and the unicorn.

This is a diary of an owl, Eva Windale. Wind of Eva was broken and went to the hospital. Lucy is Eva's best friend who kept her company at her home until Eva go to the hospital. Eva found a new friend at the hospital. They had so much fun at the hospital. This diary is telling us how Eva get well soon with all the help of its friends.

Another young adult genre read. This one was personally driven by my love of poet, Pablo Neruda. I loved the author's interpretation of what his childhood was like (with creative liberties of course). It seems he had a very stereotypical Hispanic upbringing, where he needed to be more of a man's man, and not a writer, dreamer and collector. Seeing how he breaks the mold of what is expected of him and becoming who he is destined to be is heartwarming.

A clever, fun read.

A really interesting and different world full of mystical magic and loving characters. The plot follows two magicians, working in a mysterious circus, bound to a challenge in which only one can win but as they fall in love everything around them begins to crumble into chaos.
