informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Such an interesting inside look at the movie industry, and into a process that I think few people know about or understand. Goetz does a fantastic job at helping us understand how influential audiences are over movies in their early process.

This book took a while for me to get into, but definitely got better as it went along. Enjoyed the growing relationships by the end, but wish the sisters had met earlier in the book to see their relationship grow a bit more. 
funny informative inspiring fast-paced

This was full of fantastic and useful reminders, all to aid in managing our stress and happiness. Dr. King does a great job combining humor and science and storytelling here in a really easy to digest way.

This book was very strange, and I just felt uneasy the entire time I read it. I did have to read the end a few times to really piece it all together.

Colin’s book is a really fantastic mix of reflective, funny, and insightful. It was great to learn not only about his upbringing, but also about the workings of SNL, and even just more about him on a more personal level.

Dear Edward was a really interesting book about life, about time, and about relationships. It was a quick read, though I did find myself really wanting more towards the end. The character development was great, but the plot sometimes struggled to pull me along.
