I am in love with the short and sweet format that Columbia Global Reports presents Nonfiction in. I like Saudi America so much I decided to check out this one.

I am really loving this new audible originals with membership thing. Who else listened to Emma?

ErikasMindfulShelf I got this one as well but didn‘t start it yet. 6y
BookMama789 @irre I really enjoyed it but definitely sped up the reading time. It was very slowly and dramatically read for much of the middle. 6y
ErikasMindfulShelf I always speed it up. Can‘t listen to regular speed anymore. Too slow 😀 6y

Knights vs. Dinosaurs | Matt Phelan
post image

While I don‘t deny that kids will probably enjoy this book, and I have been a huge fan of other Matt Phelan book... this one has huge issues. Let‘s start with the fact that his storyline is more than a little bit similar to Mary Pope Osborne‘s Magic Tree House Series. 👎 Next even though the author appeared to be empowering girls with a female knight this book was disgustingly sexist at times.

Loved this book! It was dark and colorful all at the same time. A historical fiction with mystery and romance all set in the 1920‘s. Very well researched for anyone into art history.

For as long as I can remember the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein have been a huge part of my life. I still remember the first time my mother took me to see a production of Carousel and later I was in a production myself. I may have just started this book but I am already in love and fascinated with the tales behind the songs that filled my childhood.

Shelter in Place | Nora Roberts
post image

I am going to attempt Nora Roberts new book Shelter I love Nora Roberts and I love reviewing her books! The specific content of an active shooter situation in this book is a huge trigger for my PTSD so I promise to try.
Having been in an active shooter situation before where I wasn't sure whether my children or myself would live and surviving it makes this a different kind of reading experience.

Been reading The Girl Who Smiled Beads in small chunks all week. It is very emotional and not easy to read but so unbelievably important and beautifully written. I am going to meet the author tonight on her book tour and I am just in awe of everything she has overcome.

The Italian Party: A Novel | Christina Lynch

Next up in the TBR pile.... The Italian Party by Christina Lynch. I still have such a book hangover from The Balcony by Jane Delury that I'm afraid any book I read next might just seem blah in comparison to how much I LOVED The Balcony. I have been excited to read this though so I am going to try and clear my brain and just move in.

Jerdencon I have this on my kindle from net galley... just haven't gotten around to it yet. Hope it's good too! (edited) 6y

So have any of you ever entered in to be a rep for a book box subscription before? If so which ones? This is my first time, and I put this together over on my Bookmama789 instagram account. I am trying to find new and creative ways to dive deeper into reviewing books full time, and Novl Box looks like so much fun!

vkois88 I've never heard of that... so you get paid to review books/run a book instagram? 6y
BookMama789 @vikos88 you don't get paid to be a rep. They just send you the box for free and then you review it in exchange. You aren't running their Instagram you just feature it on your own. 6y

As a person with a disability and chronic illness, this! It is all worth it, but doctors don't often see us for the people we are or the pain the treatment puts us through. What they prescribe is often an impersonal means to an end and we are a chart not a human being.

"How little so doctors understand the hells through which we put patients" - Paul Kalanithi
