Review: Dissection of a Murder

Dissection of a Murder Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. This was good but maybe because I went in with high expectations I didn't end up either being as shocked or loving it as much as others seem to have.

All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation by Elizabeth Gilbert My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is about Gilbert's incredible journey as she falls in love with her best friend who is terminally ill and falls back into her addiction. Gilbert's unflinching honesty around the journey they both individually and together took to recover from their own individual additions is eye opening. This story is raw, honest and does not mince words. View all my reviews

Review: Easy Crafts for the Insane: A Mostly Funny Memoir of Mental Illness and Making Things

Easy Crafts for the Insane: A Mostly Funny Memoir of Mental Illness and Making Things by Kelly Williams Brown My rating: 4 of 5 stars "It is following good mental health hygiene—which is the real self-care, although it’s so, so boring! It is cultivating contentment rather than chasing happiness." I have never heard of Kelly Williams Brown before this book. I have not read her previous books and I think I was drawn to this book because it mentioned crafts. As a crafty person, I have to say that most of the crafts in this story are simple and not anything to write home about.

She clearly is a person full of life and joy...

Review: Finding Grace

Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read A LOT of books so it's really really rare for me to find a book with a premise I have never seen before. And this one took the cake. By the end of the first chapter, you're like WHOA did not see that coming. And then you're spending a bunch of the rest of this book reorienting. I know people will have mixed feelings but I loved it. I liked the twist and then the turn the story took. I liked how the author played with the way stories are told. I liked how the characters grew and surprised you both with their stupidity and humanness. I think this one will be controversial, people will love or hate. I am of the former camp. And I loved listening to the audio. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
