I was surprised how little tired book suffered from middle book syndrome. The main plot of the bookwas a little weaker than the overall arc of the trilogy, but that didn't matter to me that much. I must admit when the bullying started I felt the bullying tactics didn't match with the age of the perpetrators, but she got it right by the end. I have read other reviewers complaining that the strong character Sonea showed in the first book disappeared in this one, but I think this is unfair. In the first book she was in a territory she understood and had confidence because of that understanding. In this book, she is in a world foreign to get upbringing where society is set against her and it's acting out is prejudices onto her, of course her confidence is going to take a hit! I felt the spark of defiance still shone within her, even if it wasn't as forthright as it one was. I'm guessing this will return on the list installment.

The only cooking show that doesn't make me hungry
I normally cant watch any food type shows without getting 15 minutes in and wanting a snack. It's not that this show isn't appetizing, but these babies who call themselves chefs get me so wrapped up in their drama that I could care less about what's in my freezer. It's also a great confidence boost since I have successfully cooked scallops and risotto on more that one occasion.

Open world exploration is wonderful. The storyline is pretty easygoing so you can do things in your own order. (0 more)
You're so weak at first that running away drops your confidence but even easy monsters can kill you with one hit! (0 more)
Much explore, such fun
I had so much fun playing this game. I've completed the main storyline but I still have loads of side missions to do. it's also fun to do the minigames like taming horses or cooking food.

Jenny Saville recommended Vincent Van Gogh: The Letters in Books (curated)

Book Favorite

"This is a set of six volumes and it’s expensive — but worth it for life. Van Gogh’s letters, along with the letters of Cezanne, are always inspirational to read. His pursuit of reality is thrilling, his lack of confidence, fears, doubts, excitement, his passion for nature and intensity when he talks about color, and the future of art drive you and help you accept your follies as an artist. And he did it all in such a short period of time."

It is a collection of biographies of incredible women in history, that was written in a witty and very enjoyable way. Every woman had something to teach us, and it actually boosted my self-confidence, while reading it. The authors picked very particular women, not necessarily very well known ones, but very admirable and influential nevertheless.

Some of these women might’ve seemed negative, but every single one had something to teach us, and let’s be honest, we are not angels sometimes either.
