Memory of An Artist – Journey of the Self – Ruth Poniarski

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 8 Comments/ 732

To try to describe this book in a short review would be nearly impossible. At least for me. At times this memoir left me gutted and wondering how on earth this woman managed to survive and write a book detailing her mental illness. She has Continue reading →

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
