Other people’s houses

July 29, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

May I Come In? is the most fun I've had in book form in a while. It's pure voyeuristic pleasure. If you're nosy, if you like to peek into people's homes, if you enjoy finding decorating ideas to steal... oh honey, you're going to love this book. The subtitle is 'Discovering the world in other … Continue reading Other people’s houses

The Ultimate Art Museum

June 19, 2022July 21, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ 2 Comments

I can't get enough of coffee table books. They feel indulgent with their oversized pages, substantial weight, glossy paper. They're always fascinating, packed with photos, ideas and inspiration. Here's the first of five coffee table book reviews. The Ultimate Art Museum by Ferren Gipson is classified as a children's book but that's nonsense - this … Continue reading The Ultimate Art Museum

Nour’s Secret Library

June 18, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

I've been quiet for a while, reading a lot but not writing much. Now I'm back with a review of a children's book. Baby steps. It's impossible not to think of Ukraine when you read Nour's Secret Library which is set in war-torn Syria. Nour and her cousin Amir live in Damascus (which means fragrant … Continue reading Nour’s Secret Library

I recently read - ok listened to - the 2019 Young Adult book On the Come Up by Angie Thomas. You may know of her 2017 YA bestseller The Hate U Give (or the movie version which hit screens in 2018). As outstanding as that book was, I think I liked this one better. Here's … Continue reading 3 books, 2 authors, 1 series, 0 complaints

Catching the Big Fish

May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity David Lynch wants you to go diving - deep sea diving into the ocean of consciousness within. How? Through meditation, specifically TM or Transcendental Meditation. TM was created in the 1950s and instead of focusing on your breath you silently repeat a mantra / sound to yourself two or more times … Continue reading Catching the Big Fish

Coffee Table Books

April 24, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

Let's talk coffee table books. I love them. I can't justify buying them. I don't have room for the ones I already own. Enter the library's oversized collection... If books are portals to stories and information, generating wonder and inspiration, then oversize books multiply these feelings! They make a statement just sitting on the table … Continue reading Coffee Table Books
