pickI have read several biographies of Bronson and Louisa, but did not know May(Amy) was a leader in her passion. Not only growing up with Transcendentalists and being offended by her portrayal in her famous sister's book, she knew several renowned artists of her time. I learned so much and stayed on Google to learn more about May's art. She was very independent and did not want Louisa's monetary aid once she was established.
pickI read Oscar Wilde for the first time 2 years ago and fell in love with his writing. When I saw this historic fiction book based on his marriage and relationships, I was instantly intrigued. The book is slow going, but I really enjoyed it. It felt well-researched, and I thought the struggle for Oscar between his love for his family and his desire to be true to himself was written in such a beautiful, bittersweet way.
so-soThis book was really fantastic until the last bit. It just sort of...ended. Author just didn't stick the landing. It felt awkward and piecemeal. But most of the book was really very good, and I'd still recommend it.

I was looking forward to this short audiobook but felt quite underwhelmed by it. Disappointing as I was looking forward to finding out much more about this remarkable woman. It had a nice creative lyrical style, but was lacking in depth and detail.
I read “Anne of Green Gables” for the first time two years ago, and since then, I‘ve become obsessed with everything Lucy Maud Montgomery and Anne Shirley. 💛
I had mixed feelings about this one - I found the story of Hattie McDaniel fascinating and heartbreaking… I definitely felt angry and sad at times at the blatant racism she had to endure - my issue was the fact that it was written in first person… for some reason I felt that her internal dialogue was just too much. Overall I‘m glad to have read it and learn about her life - thanks for putting it on the list @MallenNC #auldlangspine @monalyisha
This book is headed on an adventure!! 😀
Be the first one to find it in a Little Free Library at 301 Freeport Road, Blawnox, Pennsylvania, to help it start its travels!!
Let‘s see how far it goes!!
Will it stay in Pennsylvania or will it be taken states away or countries away?
Can‘t wait to see where it will be found and enjoyed.
Happy Travels, Diva!! 😀
