Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe | Benjamin Alire Saenz

so-so

I think this book suffered from the hype around it because I went in expecting something amazing and found something mediocre

This isn't a bad book. Its not my kind of book, I found it stylistically challenging and the emo philosophizing was irritating.

I didn't connect with it in the way that I wanted to. I may return to it when I don't have covid as I may have more patience for it, I don't know. I'm disappointed

BkClubCare Sometimes, I want NOT to be excited for a book. It can really mess with enjoyment! 3y

PuddleJumper @BkClubCare It really can and it's not the books fault! 3y

BkClubCare @PuddleJumper - and, to me? This means that I need to be a bit more generous sometimes, that mood/time/space/magic can really play a part in that binary LIKE or NOT. #smiles 3y

Secret Smile | Nicci French

#FebruaryFeels #smiles

Catching up from yesterday. The only two titles with “smiles” from my shelves. I believe (it‘s been a while) that I liked the tagged book, a thriller, and I loved The Girl Who Smiled Beads, a memoir. (The audio book was excellent!)

phantomx @Eggs I enjoyed reading the Vladimir Todd series, it was funny, serious, and the character dealt with issues encountered in each grade level 5y

The Magical Moonballs | Laura L. Seeley

so-so

#FebruaryFeels Day 12: Fats‘ review: “This is a rhyming picturebook about the moon who felt lonely because no one was around to give him #Smiles. It emphasizes the gift and magic of #Smiles, given to others and received from them. The story may be simple but children can definitely learn something from it.” Full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6UE

Because Amelia Smiled | David Ezra Stein

pick

#ReallyRandomFebruary Day 2: I love how a child‘s #smile can be magnified a thousand fold in this narrative – its power so striking, its message so achingly simple. And how very little we do this everyday. Oftentimes we focus on the things that worry us, those which make us anxious, an aura of negativity surrounding us. This beautiful book shows how a #smile can change everything – can change the world, even. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-5bS
