CatLass007 Welp, this is interesting. If my books were on shelves instead of on my phone and audio format, it would be much easier to pick a green book. But I love William Kent Krueger‘s writing and the cover of the tag book is mostly green sort of.

The mystery of the old violin | Augusta Huiell Seaman, William Hutchinson (Printer)

pick

Presumably I read this book back when I purchased it for a quarter back in 1997, but I have no memory of it 😂 A Scholastic Book Club reprint of a 1932 story, this one was perfectly fun but not particularly engaging. But I probably would have liked it better when I was the age for which it's aimed. Soft pick.

One Italian Summer: A Novel | Rebecca Serle

so-so

This one took me forever to read…. I just didn‘t feel compelled to make time for it, even with the exquisite setting. And I would‘ve bailed and tried again, except I needed this as a do-over for a #bookchain prompt I didn‘t plan very well! 😂🤷‍♀️ @TheAromaofBooks

Time To Go House | Walter D. Edmonds

pick

My mom got this as a library discard when I was a kid, and I always loved it growing up. Smalleata is a mouse whose clan moves into the human house across the field when winter comes (and the people leave for the season). There, she falls in love with a house mouse. Lots of adventures, but it's actually pretty intense for a children's book, as some of the mice get eaten! I really enjoyed this reread and still find this a delightful book. And it ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) may help explain my reluctance to set mousetraps 😂

Suet624 I was thinking I should find it for one of my grandkids but then .... mice get eaten!!
6mo

TheAromaofBooks @Suet624 - It's intense but not graphic. Kind of along the lines of the original Bambi book. One mouse gets eaten because he is willing to sacrifice himself to help the others get away. And a rat gets hunted down by weasels in what is probably the scariest scene of the book. I loved this book when I was 12ish, but it's a book I would read first before handing to a younger reader to make it's not too intense. 6mo

Navigate Your Stars | Jesmyn Ward

A beautiful little book, in which Ward talks about her hard road to fulfilling her dream of being a writer. This is for the people to whom things don't always come easily, who have to keep their vision in mind and take step after patient step to reach it.

Bold Fortune | M. M. Crane

pick

If you ignore the fact that these people have only known each other for, like, two weeks, this was a perfectly fun read. Violet's off to Alaska to talk to a grumpy guy who could help her fix her job, but he isn't interested in having an Outsider tell him what they should do with their land. So he challenges her to see if she can handle an Alaskan winter. Violet seemed like she should annoy me, but I actually found her can-do attitude to be kind ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) of endearing. Definitely a soft pick, but not a bad piece of brain candy.

Living with Color: Inspiration and How-Tos to Brighten Up Your Home | Rebecca Atwood

pick

I first bought, read, and loved this book back in 2020. Now that we're getting ready to move and I have an entire house to update, it seemed like a great time to revisit it. Atwood just does a fantastic job with this book. She gives you the science behind color and our perception of it, then moves into the more emotional aspect of it - somehow, she stays out of woo-woo land by encouraging readers to ground the way they feel about colors with ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) practical application. There is a section visiting homes of various people who work with color (as home decorators and the like), and even with the homes that I didn't like, Atwood still points out tips for incorporating the methods used. The final section talks about how to create your own color wheel and palettes for different spaces. Just like when I read it the first time, this book immediately had me looking at everything around me ⬇ 7mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) differently, looking at undertones, connecting colors, the way textures can change color, etc. Even if you aren't getting ready to redecorate your house, I still high recommend this one as it goes beyond just slapping some paint on walls, with tips on making small changes (even things like putting a bowl of fruit on your table) to brighten spaces and tie things together. A perfect balance between science, feelings, and practical ⬇ 7mo

DogMomIrene This book sounds fantastic! We‘re not ready to paint…yet…so may be the perfect read to start thinking about wall colors. Thanks! 7mo

TheAromaofBooks @DogMomIrene - She has lots of ideas for testing colors using other items in your space, plus seeing how you feel about those colors at different times of day and different lighting. So I think it's a great book to read while you're still in the thinking stage!! 7mo

AnnCrystal Does this talk about precisely which colors affect which mood (orange can encourage eating and conversation, green can calm you, blue can make you feel safe)? Or is it vague about direct emotional affects and more about how colors work together to appease the eye? 7mo

Lcsmcat We‘ve been trying to decide what color to paint the dining room for YEARS. Sounds like I need to read this book. 😀 7mo

TheAromaofBooks @AnnCrystal - Both, but I would say more the latter than the former. There is a section where she talks about each color, its history, and an overview of how it generally impacts mood and space, which leads into how combining different colors can be appealing, sometimes because it's also combining two feelings (blue for comfort + orange for warmth & energy). The author definitely believes that color is personal and encourages the reader to think ⬇ 7mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) about memories and places that may influence how YOU feel about a color beyond how it is “supposed“ to make you feel. (I.e. I got teased wearing a red dress when I was little and still don't like the color red.) So while she does give the broad strokes to general color+mood theory, she talks more about discovering what appeals to you personally and how to help focus that into a harmonic whole. 7mo

TheAromaofBooks @Lcsmcat - The author is so warm and friendly and I love the tips that she gives for experimenting with color before making big commitments. 7mo

AnnCrystal @TheAromaofBooks perfect, Thank You! 👏☺️👍📚🎨💝. 7mo

DogMomIrene @TheAromaofBooks Totally where we are! We‘ve been in this house for just over a year and we haven‘t hung any art because we‘re still moving things around, making sure we like how we‘re moving around various spaces. I checked my library and they don‘t have it, so I‘m buying it and savoring it🥰 7mo

TheAromaofBooks @DogMomIrene - I hope you love it!! It has sprayed edges and a wonderful matte finish on the cover, so many pictures - I find it a joy to handle as well as read haha 7mo

julieclair This looks SO interesting! Stacked! 7mo
