I struggled with it. I struggled with my own possible uncharitable reading, depressing realization that people are messy and seem hardwired to hurt other with their toxicity. But it did slowly grow on me and towards the end I found some actual hope. Page 298: “Future generations do not depend on our perfection or guilt or fear of failure: they depend on our love.” The first part of that sentence will stay with me. Also discovered large restoration projects as shown in the documentary green gold. But people are difficult. And shits getting bad.… (mer)

Remington has always been more or less alone. An orphan, never to be loved. When she inherits her dead best friend's house in the town they grew up in, things start to get weird.

I really enjoyed reading this book. There's a lot mystery in it, more than I expected before I started reading. All the supernatural events make this book constantly interesting and there is not one moment that you get bored. Of course, there is also the romance between Jason and Remington. The never ending be or not to be game they play. Add a little hexes and you've got Hexes and O's.
This is an interesting book and I really want to read the other books I the series as well. I love all of the residents in knotty and I can't wait to read what they get up to in the future.

All in all this is a great mixture of mystery, romance and supernatural beings. I really enjoyed reading this and I'm waiting eagerly to read the next book in the series.

An incredible selection of poetry that almost defies description. Vivid in both descriptions and distractions the poet takes the reader on a wild ride from the shoulder of the road to the backroom of a club. Animalistic and sometimes violent the journey continues unabated.

Sometimes the words turn simple:

A seed sleeps till you put it in the ground.
A seed is a box water opens

~ Resurrections II

Other times the words tend to run deep and the meanings blur. The is captured particularly well in ”State of a Fair” blending meanings and playing both on words and events to create a double vision branching in different directions.

Complex yet beautifully written collection of poetry certainly able to hold the the attention and admiration of the reader. A well-done collection deserving of the Iowa Poetry Prize.

ARC Review: The Attraction of Adeline(Off the Wall Proposal) by Lisa Wells

A firmly embedded memory that stays on the mind. Like learning the words to a favorite song or playing a tune out of time. Adie and Jack, bewitched my heart and proved be like a fine wine. The Attraction of Adeline is an emotional roller coaster ride. Adie has all the makings of a beautiful treasure, but her heart and spirit has been broken down by life. Lonely, heartbroken and never good enough, has taught her what it means to be tough. Until shelter from the storm arrives with a relationship of convenience. Jack shares a similar outlook with Adie. Betrayal has taught him to keep his heart on lock down and his head out of the clouds. With one look Adie has made him rethink that. Her shields seem impenetrable. Yet he wants to break them down. Her eyes are pools of heartache, in which he wants to drown. Her heart may be off limits, but his is down for the count. Alluring, heartbreaking and endearing, The Attraction of Adeline is a hauntingly sweet yet soulful journey of courageous hope.… (mer)
