Home Body by Joanna Gaines

 

May be an image of text that says 'HOME BODY' 

This book is....reflections and suggestions on home design

Author: Joanna Gaines

Rating: 4/5

Keep or Donate: Keep! I was expecting overly-aspirational design advice that didn't connect with my decidedly-not-aspirational home. And yes, there were plenty of beautiful spaces to admire but there was also a lot of practical advice that could be applied to any home. I also enjoyed Joanna's honest and often insightful reflections on what it means to put ourselves into our spaces.

    This books is....Book 2 in a famous series of morbidly humorous children's fiction that follows three bright orphans through various unfortunate events. Author: Lemony Snicket Rating: 5/5 Keep or Donate: Keep, obviously. If the first two books are any indication, the series deserve its reputation as well-written, witty, and wonderfully dark.

Gemini Cell by Myke Cole

      This book is....military sci/fi fantasy thriller Author: Myke Cole Rating: 3.5/5 stars Keep or Donate: Keep as a reference for if I want to write any Big Exciting Action Scenes in a novel someday. The jinn Ninip was the most interesting character by far. Another notable bit is that this book has the most unflattering description of my city that I've read thus far. So noir! I'm torn between excitement that we showed up in a thriller and concern about exactly what part of town the poor author found himself wandering through.

The Parade by David Eggers (A Not-Stash Book)

    This book is...A Not-Stash library book. A parable on the unexpected difficulties and dangers of good intentions in postwar reconstruction. At times satiric, at times sober, at times surprising...the book builds to a final moment that jabs you like a sudden poke to the ribs. This is my favorite Eggers book so far and the one I would most readily read again. It might even end up on my shelf eventually. Author: David Eggers Rating: 5/5
