This was an amazing collection of some of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Gmorning and Gnight tweets. They were all really sweet and beautiful and very uplifting.
I really like Stephen Merchant so I had high hopes for this book and was a bit let down. Some parts were laugh-out-loud funny, but overall it was just OK.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Robert L. Mack, Thomas Peckett Prest, James Malcolm Rymer
I read this for the "A Play" part of my 2019 reading challenge. I've never seen Sweeney Todd performed, I've only watched the movie with Johnny Depp. This book was the original version of the story so it was quite different, and I liked the movie better, but this wasn't unenjoyable.
I really enjoyed this. It wasn't preachy at all, she specified that she doesn't believe in diets or being a certain weight, it's just important to eat right and exercise to make you and your body happy. It was less science-y than Cameron Diaz's The Body Book but with a similar message. I'd like to own a copy of this book so I can try out all of Beth's recipes.
The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body
This was more of an easy-reading biology textbook. It covered nutrition, biology, chemistry, anatomy, and the importance of sleep, nutrients, fitness, and mindset. Everything was well laid out and easy to follow, I just wish there were details or suggestions for clean eating on a budget.
Much like The Body Book, this was very science-y but easy to follow. She focused a lot on how our cells work and how they age, and what we can do to ease the process. It was a great way to learn how to embrace aging, instead of running from it.
It was alright, I would have liked more of a focus on Margaret and less on Eva. It still showed a lot of who she was and the changes she made.
I read this for the "An Author Who Uses A Pseudonym" part of my 2019 reading challenge. It was decent, the crime was well written enough that the bad guy wasn't immediately obvious, but I wouldn't say it was a surprise either. I'd be willing to read more of the series.
I read this for the "A Retelling Of A Well-Known Story" part of my 2019 reading challenge. I liked it, the twists from the original Alice In Wonderland were well done, and I enjoyed the trials she had to face. The ending felt a bit rushed to me after how long the rest of the book took, and it doesn't leave me desperate for book 2.
I'm not sure I like Kathryn Dance as much as Lincoln Rhyme, but it was still a really good story. There were enough twists that I didn't know who the murderer was until the very end.
