Book Rating

This was an enjoyable book. The storyline was cute and easy to follow. The characters were developed. Bethany as the narrator lends a quirky and awkward take on the story. The whole idea of love finding you no matter how hard you try to avoid it is always a good one. Especially when the relationship begins as a friendship. Good showing for a first book by Bryant.

I have been in such a reading slump and I needed a book with a sure HEA. Kasie West never disappoints in that regard. While I haven't liked a few of her last books I really enjoyed this one.
It was a one sitting read full of cute moments and friendship. Add in a romance and a movie script I wouldn't mind seeing in theatres.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Unlikely Friendships : 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom in Books

Jul 12, 2018

I would give this 5 stars for the pictures and 2 stars for the writing.

I was really looking forward to reading this book. It looks simply adorable. I absolutely loved the pictures but the stories lacked a lot. The stories were poorly written and honestly, used the term "friendship" very loosely. I think that this had potential but I was not very impressed.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated And How Are You, Dr. Sacks?: A Biographical Memoir of Oliver Sacks in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I reaceived this copy of And How Are You, Dr. Sacks from Farrar, Straus and Giroux through Netgalley.

The quickest way I can describe this book is an interview and a friendship that spanned over 30 years.

Weschler's affection for Sacks shines through but somehow manages not to come off as a kiss-up.

Chock with fascinating interviews this book is a must read for Sacks fans.
