Natural Beauty: A Novel | Ling Ling Huang

Pickpick

This one feels similar to Mona Awad's Rouge but with less focus on grief and more on how privilege and racism inform beauty standards and how wealth can take a reasonable idea to an unreasonable extreme. I enjoyed the novel, but the story feels a little young, like it's lacking a layer of meaning that life experience might give it. Or maybe that was part of the point.

I think this author just isn‘t for me because I‘ve bailed on both books I‘ve tried. Oh well. #LitsyTOB24

Ruthiella I like Awad but I‘m always a little relieved to find an author I don‘t jive with because that‘s now a bunch of books I don‘t want/have to read. 2mo
Hooked_on_books I‘m with you. Not an Awad fan. 2mo
Megabooks Boo! I'm sorry! 2mo

I probably should have “Panned” this, but it had me intrigued for a while. I became less and less enamored and felt the ending meandered around, trying to find its way. You warned me, @BarbaraBB !

Living a Beautiful Life | Alexandra Stoddard

One of the first books I ever read on making a house a home. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, clutter and chaos was the norm. This book was life changing for twentysomething me. Rereading all these years later, I'm surprised at how many things are part of my routines. Yes, it's a bit dated and pretentious in places, but it taught me so much: seasonal eating, flowers in the house, and setting a pretty table. 🌸

Crinoline_Laphroaig One of things that made this house 'The One' was this little area in the Master Bath. When I'm doing my hair and makeup I'm surrounded by things I love: flowers, candles, and my yoga frog. 🐸 3mo
Ruthiella Lovely 😍 3mo
Desha Yes I loved Alexandra Stoddard‘s books as well many years ago!! She really inspired me! Thank you for reminding me of her! ♥️📚 3mo
