The Boy Who Painted the World | Melody J. Bremen

Title: The Boy Who Painted the World
Author: Melody J. Bremen


I've been trying to add more Middle Grade and Young Adult books to my To Be Read pile, not only to appeal to more types of readers, but also to get an idea of what younger people are reading. I have a twelve-year-old stepdaughter, and I would love for her to have as much joy in reading as I do.

This book is one of the most heartwarming books I have ever read. It is at times devastating, always endearing, and just an all around great read. It's a little bittersweet for me, because I finished reading it in the emergency room this evening with my three-year-old, who broke his leg today. I shed tears over this book and over my son and over lost kids everywhere who hopefully will one day find a home and their place in society.

The only thing keeping this from being a five-star review is some minor editing issues I noticed while reading, but that does not keep me from yelling from the rooftops for everyone, young and old, to read this book! You will not be disappointed.

Four out of five stars.

Talking to Strangers | Malcolm Gladwell

Image
Title: Talking to Strangers Author: Malcolm Gladwell Malcolm Gladwell's Talking to Strangers is a thought-provoking book that grabs you and doesn't let go, even if it doesn't necessarily convince you. The text explores a variety of intriguing topics, weaving together psychology, anthropology, and even true crime. One of the book's most fascinating sections explores how we misinterpret facial expressions, especially across cultures. The idea that a machine can assess criminal risk more accurately than a human judge is downright shocking. These sections spark curiosity and raise interesting questions. However, the book falters when Gladwell attempts to draw grand conclusions from these disparate examples. For instance, the parallels he draws between police misunderstandings and political miscalculations feel like a stretch. Similarly, the discussion of the Stanford rape case as a "misunderstanding" is rightfully met with skepticism. Despite these weaknesses, Tal...

A Court of Thorns and Roses | Sarah J. Maas

Image
Title: A Court of Thorns and Roses Author: Sarah J. Maas Hey readers! Buckle up, because it's time for my much-delayed take on the "iconic" A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Honestly, the hype left me scratching my head. Growling? Purring? Is this a romance novel or a cat convention? First impressions? Not great. As the opening salvo in a series, this book felt like a damp firework. The world-building was, well, meh, and the characters seemed to function on the shared processing power of a toaster oven. (And that's being generous!) Then came the "riddle." Now, I consider myself a champion of strong female leads, but Feyre seriously tested my patience. I was this close to launching the book across the room when she couldn't decipher the riddle. Seriously, Feyre? I'm pretty sure I solved it before she even finished reading it. Rhysand? More like Sighsand. This dude's entire thought process seemed to reside south of the border, and every...
