DNF: How Herbs Healed the World by Connor Smith

Today’s review is about HOW HERBS HEALED THE WORLD by Connor Smith. This, unfortunately, was a rare DNF (did not finish) for me. And it was an ARC at that. As always, I request ARCs with the best of intentions, but sometimes I just won’t click with one of them.

ARC Review: The Big Freeze by Natalie Lampert

Today’s review is about THE BIG FREEZE by Natalie Lampert. As the rest of the title explains, this is a nonfiction account of “A Reporter’s Personal Journey Into the World of Egg Freezing and the Quest to Control Our Fertility.” The focus of this book is toward those who want to freeze eggs for non-infertility reasons. However, the content is pertinent to both broad groups. This is an incredibly informative read.

The Woman In Me by Britney Spears

Today’s review is about THE WOMAN IN ME by Britney Spears. Like Patrick Stewart’s memoir, I again reviewed this one in a more reactive and casual tone. I’m glad Britney found her voice and published her life as she experienced it. It’s amazing she pulled through 13 years of near-militant control by her father over her life and body.

Book Review: Feeding the Soul by Tabitha Brown

Today’s review is about FEEDING THE SOUL by Tabitha Brown. I read this book nearly a year ago and forgot to post my review. The start of a new year seems like a good time to finally let this review out into the world. FEEDING THE SOUL is an approachable self-help book and I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.
