The Passion of Artemisia

Book Rating

4.5 stars

I had heard of Artemisia before but never really knew her work or much about her. I loved the way Susan Vreeland captured the spirit of Artemisia's paintings with where she is in the book. I really enjoyed looking at her paintings as I read and seeing some of her father's work and Caravaggio's using another book. I did feel that the last third felt a little rushed and wish it had actually been longer so Vreeland could have gone into more detail in the absences between the years. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am now interested in reading more about Artemisia and her life and paintings.

Great Festive Read (0 more)

Loved reading this book. I was in a bit of a reading slump and thought I would give it a go. I've been meaning to read it for a while not so I thought what the heck? I'm so glad I did. It really put me in the Christmas Spirit and I liked the message it gave about spreading love and kindness. Not to mention I love Muppet's Christmas Carol and was so happy to find out how similar the film is to the book- minus puppet dolls.

You can read my full review on my blog if you like. Link is on my profile :)

The best anne of green gables movie made

I remember when this movie came out on one as part of the wonderworks collection of movies. Megan follows is perfect as Anne Shirley an orphan with a great imagination and a fiery temper and spirit. She is sent to live with brother and sister Matthew and marilla Cuthbert played by colleen dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth they are also perfectly cast. Anne meets friends and foes and has scraps and trials and tribulations. Some involving her bosom friend Diana berry and school rival Gilbert blythe! Perfect for the whole family
