Shape of a Boy by Kate Wickers

I am not an avid traveller by today's terms (even pre-pandemic), but I have done my fair share. I was drawn to this memoir because of the unique perspective of travelling with children in tow.In the author's position as a travel journalist, she gets offers to stay and write about those experiences. This also means…

In My Mother’s Footsteps by Mona Hajjar Halaby

Narrated by Lameece Issaq This is a book I chose to read/listen to because I am unaware of the actual basis of the issues in Palestine and everything related to that. I originally got myself an ARC of the book but ended up listening to an audiobook of it and only checking out the photos…

Design a Healthy Home by Oliver Heath

This book is still up for request on NetGalley as of the writing of this post. I have been on a home improvement kick lately. Not that I am implementing everything I see immediately, but I am enjoying picking up different ideas which I may someday use in some small way or the other. This…

Narrated by Tom Beyer When I picked this book, I was not aware of its original publishing date. I somehow did not pay attention to it. It was only when I was sitting down to write this review did I finally figure that out. This book is about one year older than me, which makes…

Feels Like Home by Marian Parsons

I have been working on ideas for my house for a couple of months. I have not acted on anything in any real way, except for a few touches here and there, and I thought this might help me make some choices. The book begins with the author walking us through her ideas of a…

Rail Journeys by David Ross

I was expecting something very particular when I started this book. This is entirely my fault, and my review and rating of the book reflect this. I read a digital review copy, probably not the best way to peruse through train journeys. I was hoping for an in-depth look at different train compartments and facilities…
