Just Kids

Patti Smith

30% READ

In Just Kids, Patti Smith's first book of prose, the legendary American artist offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies. An honest and moving story of youth and friendship, Smith brings the same unique, lyrical quality to Just Kids as she has to the rest of her formidable body of work--from her influential 1975 album Horses to her visual art and poetry.

The Midnight Library

by Matt Haig

★★☆☆☆

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life.

Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

★★☆☆☆

This book started off sad and I enjoyed that. It's January and the dark and cold always makes me melancholic. I liked reading about a woman who saw no hope or joy in anything because lately I've felt the same.

Her adventures into the multiverse exploring what would happened if she reversed the regrets in her life was a fun escape. I think we all play that mind game in our lives. If I did/didn't do X what would my life be like now? Sliding Glass moments, if you will.

The ending was endearing but the book left me unfulfilled. The whole thing felt done before. I was unimpressed by the generic self help messages that were peppered throughout. It was a good read but not a ride I would take again.

ACOTAR Series

by Sarah J. Maas

★★★★★

A Court of Thorns and Roses - This book hooked me! I'm a fan of romance and the way the book wove that into fantasy quenched my thirst. It was the perfect escape.

A Court of Mist and Fury - My favorite book of the series. The story took a turn in a direction that I didn't see coming. Speaking of coming, the sexual tension was fire.

A Court of Wings and Ruin - Lots of war. Stressful at times but the romance parts took the edge off.

A Court of Frost and Starlight - This book is the shortest and packs a punch for the development of the sister's relationship. I can't wait to read the next book.

A Court of Silver Flames - My second favorite book of the series. The sisters are terrible characters but provide a great contrast for the rest of the cast. I was disappointed on how Rhy's character shifted but it's whatever. Cassian's charcter development made up for it. Looking forward to a book about Azriel.
