This was available as a Bonus Borrow on Hoopla last month so before they disappeared, I snatched this up. At only 2h41m, I was interested to see what sort of advice this beauty maven had to bestow on the world, and I was pleasantly surprised. Leslie Blodgett is the creator of makeup brand bareMinerals, which apparently got started on home shopping channels and used the early internet to interact with customers to share makeup knowledge and ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick get feedback from customers. Read by the author, this was a light little read and Blodgett seems like a rather light-hearted person, much more interested in building personal relationships and helping others to feel good about themselves and their style than about telling you to stop wearing this or that and to only eat kale and drink water.
Leslie wants you to Take on a 9-year old Mentor, try her Look Fab in Leggings Breakfast, Find Yourself ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick a Pen Pal (it‘s all about making the time, finding cool stamps, and sharing yourself with others), How to Receive a Compliment, 3 Easy Ways to Look Older Than You Are, and Be Like Sophia Loren. This isn‘t going to change your life, but if you do listen or read this, perhaps you‘ll take away a few nuggets of advice, apply them to your life, and make the world a little bit better. 3y

I wasn‘t a fan. But it doesn‘t help that Libby only had this on audio and I didn‘t love the narrator. This is a sweet MG coming out story, but I didn‘t feel like it had much depth. All the conflicts seemed overly engineered. It‘s written in verse, but I didn‘t really get anything of that on the audio, so I‘m not too impressed with the poetry. I liked the librarian character😁 LGBTGBookBingo #Winter/Snow #PopSugar2022 #ABookYouCanReadInOneSitting

Kenyazero I love books with librarians! I'll have to add this to my to-read list and see what I think! 3y

Even with the bad reviews I wanted to give this one a chance because it sounded so good. I think where this struggles is as a novella I feel like it should have focused more on the ghost story and not the melodrama of the unlikeable characters. The language was also a big turn off. #pop22 #popsugar #abookyoucanreadinonesitting

Nessavamusic Agree! One of my most disappointing reads of 2021 3y

One of my all time favorite books. My mom bought this version for me for Christmas but I still have my 1980s paperback. #bookriot
