I Love You So Mochi - Sarah Kuhn Review

39828159. sy475



This book was absolute perfection! I laughed, I cried, I laugh cried, you get the idea. I wish this book had been longer or that there is a sequel on the way because I need to hear more about Kimi's life. I need to know what happens next. I'm so invested in her life and her family. Plus the way the author describes food and art in this...oh my!

 This book follows Kimi and her realisation that perhaps she doesn't love art as much as she thought she did or as much as her mother does. She loves clothes! She loves creating clothes, wearing clothes, transforming clothes, basically anything to do with clothes she loves it. Her mother just does not understand and thinks Kimi is wasting her time when she should be focusing on working on her portfolio for the prestigious art academy she has been accepted to. They get into a huge fight! When she receives a letter from her estranged grandparents in Kyoto inviting her for spring break, she takes the chance to get away from all her problems and figure out whats he wants out of life.

 She instantly falls in love with Kyoto, the food, the art, the fashion, the cute boy dressed as a giant mochi. She soon starts to learn about her mother's life in Kyoto and the family she left behind.

 I loved every character in this book, like every character! Even the minor ones, loved them all! Also the way Kimi views art, fashion and food, her excitement for all three will honestly have you excited to entirely change your wardrobe, book that next flight to Japan and go to that art exhibit you've been meaning to go to. Her excitement leaps off the pages! It's truly infectious!

 I'm honestly forcing myself not to reread this immediately because I have so many other books I need to read but I think I will definitely be reading this again before the end of the year. Love it so mochi!

Rebirth - Steven Long Mitchell & Craig W. Van Sickle Book Review

Image
WARNING: Contains some spoilers! Ok so where I do begin! First I should probably explain how BIG of a Pretender fan I am. I basically grew up watching this show. I was 10 when it first aired and I even remember seeing the first advertisement on TV announcing that it was coming on and I was already hooked. After a 30 second ad I knew I needed to watch it. Watching the show was basically my childhood and early teen years. Any chance my sister and I had we would be watching it (we used to record the episodes on VHS - this was before TiVo) and re-watching it and re-watching it. We saw the 'Bank' episode (our favourite at the time) so many times that we could quote the ENTIRE episode word for word. Every word! Words that we didn't even understand. Whenever we got sent to bed early we would start quoting that episode and 40 or so minutes later we were done and more awake than ever. Are you getting how BIG a fan I am now? I was so devastated when the show got taken off air an

The Mindful Way To A Good Night's Sleep - Tzivia Gover Review

Image
I read this book over the span of a week, right before going to bed and I have noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping already. To fully get the benefits of this book, I think you need to constantly work at all the advice given even though some of the advice can be hard to do for some people like me ie. not using any electronics before going to bed. This book is split up into sections going through why getting a good night's sleep is beneficial, understanding your dreams and why we dream and how that affects our sleep to steps on how to actually get a good night's sleep. I really enjoyed the journaling prompts given as well as the step by step guide to meditating. I marked a lot of pages to look back on such as the breathing exercises which I found very helpful to help me in the future. I also thought the sleep/dream quotes scattered throughout this book was a nice touch.

White Fire (Pendergast series) - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Review

Image
I can't tell you how excited I was to read this book. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are two of my favourite authors to read and the Pendergast series is one of my all time favourite book series (second only after Harry Potter). White Fire is the thirteenth book in the Pendergast series about FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast but you do not have to read the previous 12 before you read this book if you do not want to, (I highly recommend it though) you can read it as a stand-alone book. Even though the book is a Pendergast novel, it's mainly told through Corrie Swanson's (Pendergast's protege and first seen in 'Still Life With Crows') point of view. Corrie currently enrolled at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is working on a thesis which takes her to 'Roaring Fork' an exclusive ski resort in Colorado to examine the remains of 12 miners who were mauled to death by a bear 150 years previously. The prologue set in 1889 takes
