After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks She's hit or miss for me now. I loved her earlier books, but either her writing style changed, or I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Thanks for that, because I'm having a hard time getting into it. But I feel encouraged to give it more time 😊 1mo
bookandbedandtea I was looking at this on my shelf over the weekend. It sounds great but it's soooo huge. I deferred it again. 😬 1mo
julieclair Good for you! 1mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny @TheBookgeekFrau I listened to it, but I don‘t know if that would help. I hope it gets better for you! 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Listening to books doesn't work for me, my mind wonders too much lol But, thank you, I've read some more and am getting into it....for now 😅 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair And Thanks to *You* for this challenge!💞 You are the fire beneath my chunkster avoiding ass 😂 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea The first 30 or pages had me really regretting my decision. But I figured I had to at least give it to 50. I'm currently on 52 and getting into it. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Good luck!!! 1mo

On the day I left my SWF holiday I managed to visit Noff‘s op shop in Regent St Redfern. I ❤️ that it is open on Sun. The cardi seems to be vintage, it has sparkles & was only $4 down from $10! The 👗 also has sparkles. I can‘t resist a small men‘s 👕 with a beautiful pattern. Last yr I scored lots of good adult 📚. This yr it was beautiful picture 📚 plus a travel 📕 for me. I‘ll keep the kids 📚 at my place for my little people to enjoy here.

Wow..... This book was heavily detailed, rich and colorful like the paintings Kahlo was known for.

Hours worth of journal entries from herself as well Diego, letters written by her and to her, articles, and interviews highlight Kahlo and show her as this majestic, larger than life, exotic and fiery individual who captivated so many.

This book would be great for the older grades. When the books start to become more informational and in depth, I think that it would be beneficial for the older grades. This would be a great book to highlight the importance of women. It can be entertaining, but also seen as controversial, so take caution while reading through it with children. It is an easy book for children to identify the characters.

Biography: Frida Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Published in 2015.
Biography of Frida Kahlo. This book follows the life of Frida Kahlo from her as a child to the impacts she made through her paintings as an adult. It doesn't stray away from the hardships she went through and how she overcame them.
The illustrations are vibrant like her paintings a tell a beautiful story.
