How lucky am I that I got to read and review my favorite author’s newest novel before its publication date? Yes, Michael Ondaatje has a new book coming out shortly, and if you want to know what I thought of it (as if you can’t guess already), I invite you to read my review of this book on my blog, here.

This was the second time I read this book. I re-read it because I was attempting to get my family to read the book but ended up just reading most of it by myself. I love this book and find that it might be my favorite Austen novel, although Pride and Prejudice will always hold a very special place in my nostalgic heart. Persuasion is funny, sweet, and I love the characters, especially Anne. I love watching her confidence in herself grow and the look at how we view ourselves vs. how others view us. Love this book!

I absolutely love Jurassic Park! Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors because his books are so different from each other. Jurassic Park, the movie, was amazing for its time, and is still one of my favorites. However, the book was better! The movie didn't even touch on half of the things that were in the book. If you're looking for a great, entertaining read, pick this up! Don't just say you've seen the movie, so you know it all. The book is even better.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers in Books
Nov 26, 2018
I read this book last year, and since reading it, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Van Gogh is my favorite artist, and I love reading everything and anything about him. This book focuses on the relationship between Theo and Vincent, and uses several letters that they wrote back and forth. This book also didn't hold back some details, such as multiple mentions of the fact they both had syphilis. So, it doesn't shy away from these details, which I appreciate.

Again, Bardugo is killing it. Although I had previously read some of these gems I thought it was a perfect collection of stories to have all in one place. The book sleeve is beautiful and the book binding is just as lovely. The illustrations were so beautiful and fit like puzzle pieces with each story. If I had to choose a favorite, I would choose the last story in the collection "When Water Sang Fire" - I definitely couldn't put the book down once I landed there.

This book changed my life
It's become a tradition to read this book at the beginning of every year. First off, this book saved my life. It's hard to admit but during my freshman year of college I felt suicidal. It was a few weeks into second semester and one of my close friends gave me this book to read. I read it within hours, I ignored the basketball game that I went to and I devoured this book. Tears were shed, and my life was changed.
This book quickly became my favorite novel and David Levithan has earned the honor of being my favorite author. The characters are intertwined and connect in ways that mimics our every day lives.
I love the fact that David Levithan has characters that anyone can relate to. If you're the popular kid, you will relate to someone. If you're that kid in the back of the classroom, you will relate to someone. There are 20 different characters and you will be able to relate to at least one of them.
I have read this book 6 times so far and every time I read this novel I find something new to fall in love with. My signed book is something that I will forever treasure.
I recommend this book to everyone.

A well crafted debut novel. The well knitted relationship that forms in this book will leave you as warm as your favorite blanket. Matthews uses hew knowledge of crafts to weave incredibly likeable characters both primary and secondary. It is hard to believe this is a debut novel. Well done!
