Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Now as a woman, naturally I have a knowledge of my body. Yet I wanted to learn more and so I did. Now while this book might be more aimed for an audience who is trying to have children, but still there is so much amazing information for those who aren't. Loved it and recommend it.
A Greyhound, A Groundhog by Emily Jenkins. I adore this picture book. It's cute, has beautiful illustrations, and is just in a simple way, entertaining.
Escargot by Dashka Slater. Another picture book, and entertaining. A fun twist on escargot, I don't know, just take a look at it.
The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee. A true story from the life of the author about her experience being North Korean and leaving. Give it a read.
The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur. Eh, just another poetry book, by a social media loved poet. It's good, it's just, I guess something I don't care for.
Camp Austen: My Life As An Accidental Jane Austen Superfan by Ted Scheinman. Sounded intriguing, but I was highly disappointed. Honestly, I don't think it really touched on him being a superfan. Simply brought up by a woman who loved it. I don't recommend it.
Les Orteils N'ont Pas De Nom by Jean Leroy. A children's book we read in my French class. It's cute.
The Book of Cheese: The Essential Guide To Discovering Cheeses You'll Love by Liz Thorpe. I mean, it's a book about delicious cheese, need I say more?
Survival Lessons by Alice Hoffman. A book about the experience of Breast Cancer, and the lessons learned by the author.
In The Company of Women by Grace Bonney. A book about women and their careers, why they chose them and anything else about the business women. I liked it, it was an easy read.
Map Stories: The Art of Discovery by Franciska Matteoli. It's an interesting book about some of the early discoveries in the world, and how they were discovered. I enjoyed it.
Georgia O'Keeffe by Wanda M. Corn. I love Georgia O'Keeffe. Her art is lovely, and I loved this book about her life and art. It would make a nice coffee table book.
Walk: The Path To A More Mindful Life by Sholto Radford. A fun little book about walking and the benefits and things you can do add to your experience.
We're With You: Counsel and Encouragement From Your Brethren by Council of The Twelve Apostles. A book for members of the LDS faith, and the advice from the authors.
Monet: Water Lilies: The Complete Series by Jean-Dominique Rey. A coffee table book of all of Monets Water Lilies. Simply beautiful.
Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined To Meet by Jennifer L. Armentrout and others. A compilation of short meet-cute stories.
In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri. The authors learning process and experience to learn Italian. In the one book is the English version and Italian. Which is cool.
Wendell The Norwhal by Emily Dove. A cute book about a Narwhal and where he belongs.
Last Stop On The Reindeer Express by Maudi Powell-Tuck. A lovely and colorful book about Christmas.
Lost In The Library by Josh Funk. Told from the lions; Patience and Fortitude. It's cute and fun and is all about learning.
Les Livre Des Bruits by Soledad Bravi. Again, a book we read in my French class. Again, cute.
Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen by Deborah Hopkinson. Obviously a book about Jane Austen, but a picture book, the best kind of books. Cute.
Love Is Walking Hand In Hand by Charles M. Schulz. Charlie Brown and friends valentine book. Cute. Always.
Eat What You Watch: A Cookbook For Movie Lovers by Andrew Rea. Written by the Youtuber, Binging With Babish, who creates food seen in movies and television.
To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. I mean if you haven't heard or seen the Netflix original adaptation of this book, then what are you doing here? It's a fun story about teenage love, a category I nearly stay far far away from. I love it SO much.
Dorothea's Eyes: Dorothea Lange Photographs The Truth by Barb Rosenstock. A book about Dorothea Lange's life and the images she captured.
I Am A Cat by Galia Bernstein. I read it simply to see if my nephew, who likes cats, would enjoy this. I have yet to show or read it to him. Oh well, it's cute all the same.
Franklins Flying Bookshop by Jen Campbell. A picture book, aesthetically cute, but didn't care for the story.
P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han. The sequel to All The Boys book. Just as fun and great.
Jacques David Louis' Death of Marat by Willaim Vaughan. I wrote about this painting for art history, and here we are. Quite informational and neat, but again, just for class.
Art History: A Critical Introduction To It's Methods by Michael Hatt. Again, Art History, but for all the students. I think all the methods are interesting, and all are used in Art History.
Alma And How She Got Her Name by Juana-Martinez Neal. Well, we already know what the book is about from the title, and I love it so much. Appeals to audiences who also have long names, and why they have those names.
Thank You Omu! by Oge Mora. A sweet story about sharing, and the benefits of that act of kindness.
The Rough Patch by Brian Lies. A picture book, it's alright.
A Mind Unraveled by Kurt Eichenwald. ALRIGHT, GUYS. I love this book so so much. I think it's so important that people read this. It sheds a light into what people who are disabled can experience. Sure not everyone has gone through what this author has, but that might be why it's so important. So that these things stop happening. Please, read this, this is the book I need people to read.
Always And Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han. The end of the series for the All The Boys trilogy. Love it, as I did for the other two.
The World of Matisse: 1869-1954 by John Russell. Um, art lover much? Still, loved this, as per usual.
The Art Forger by B.A Shapiro. Loved it, you know art history and all, but some mystery included to keep it interesting, even though it was already interesting. Historical Fiction and I believe that there is a little bit of language, I think.
The Emotionary: A Dictionary Of Words That Don't Exist For Feelings That Do by Eden Sher. Alright, I must admit when I first chose to read this, I thought it was a book of words that are lesser known or in another language for emotions. I was wrong, which I think affected my liking of this book. Also, for some of the emotions she described, there are existing words, so take this as you want.
Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History In That Order by Bridget Quinn. Yes, I love art and the artists of history. I love the female artists just as much, cause I mean, come on. I don't know though, I just think there are better books, but that's just me.
Eight Twenty Eight: When Love Didn't Give Up by Larissa Murphy. Ok, so I added this to my Goodreads who knows how many years ago, but clearly I remembered nothing as to why I added it. Yes, I remember that it included a difficult situation. I don't know though, it might've been the overload of religion in it, or something else but I didn't love it. I know, the family is highly religious, clearly and that's great, it was just too much for me, who is also religious.
What We Lose by Zinzi Clemmons. I just finished this and I liked it. There's language, but aside that I found the story interesting and enjoyable, as well as something many can relate to.
So here we are. It's been a while and this is a lot, but we made it. Thanks.
