Great information on the lost art of etiquette, especially relevant for someone in their twenties! I do wish that the cocktail recipes were all presented in just one part of the book, instead of sprinkled throughout.

Great guide! Added SO many places to my travel list. Loved the recommendations from actual locals. Although, I felt this book could have been split in two. One being local guides sharing their top spots in their area, and the other being the author's recommendations based on the travel vibe you're going for.

A nice read, and well researched! I didn't particulary care for the geology part, but that's a personal thing. Would recommend to any Seattleite interested in learning more about their local natural world!

This was phenomenal!!!! One of my top fiction books of the year so far. Loved how the author was able to give such life to the characters and make their relationships believable. The only thing preventing a full five stars is that towards the end it felt a bit dragged out, so maybe could have been edited down fifty pages. Small complaints, but I'll always remember the week spent in this story!!

My god... dare I say the best graphic novel I've read in some time? So much to comment on but, I loved the themes of finding yourself through isolation, coming to terms with identity, being one with nature, family, and even more! I just... yeah. Please read.

Felt like a school project. Good intro to how fashion is political and important.

Lot's of accounts of events, and not as much reflection as I would have liked for a presidential memoir.

Wow!!! Lots to reap (haha) from this one. The themes presented in this story were bleak but on point. Great to see the backstory and see why Haymitch is the way he is. Also seeing people like Mags and Beetee were such a plus!!! And it didn't feel like fan-service either. The games themselves were fine, I liked the "theme" they chose for the arena. Very excited to see how they adapt this for screen.

Poetry is not a genre I read often, as it reads to be as pretentious a lot of the time if not written intetionally. Unfortunately this wasn't a winner, but there were some great reflections here, you could tell the author felt deeply about the subjects they were talking about. However, a lot of it, to the average person, felt out of touch.
