A darker, more cynical version of one of Streatfeild's “shoes“ stories, in which an exceptionally beautiful girl achieves success and adoration without having a spark of human kindness in her soul. The title is a biting commentary on what society values in women. A pick because it's entertaining and has a fascinating “illicit“ relationship in it, but be warned, it's deeply sad.

Julie is still living life to its fullest at 91 (wow! and shares uplifting life lessons here on treasuring yourself, eating healthy, boosting energy, finding peace within & more. Published in 2011, this whimsical book is more photo memoir sprinkled with empowering wisdom.
pickWhat a funny and fabulous little book!
This book is filled with art featuring dogs alongside a short blurb offering commentary on the piece. The commentary was hilarious. I laughed out loud so many times.
Additionally, I loved the random fun facts that were incorporated into the blurbs. For example, I learned that the Olympics used to have art competitions.

pickThis was such a fun fantasy tale!
The strongest part of the book were the two lead characters, Cinna and Hokuren. I absolutely loved their friendship and the found family nature of it. They have both been through a lot and it was so heartwarming to see them act and care for each other like family.

pickA birthday present from my Mom who taught me to love birdwatching, this is a lovely memoir, nature observation, artwork filled book. The birds are west coast species which reminded me of my years in Utah. Tan‘s imagination comes through too. A restful book. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first book in this series took me a little while to get into, I actually thought about quitting it multiple times, but then by the end, really enjoyed it.
This one, however, I was in it and loving it from the very first page.
It did get a little bit repetitive, but I was always happy to pick it back up and really enjoyed every minute of reading it.
Definitely looking forward to book 3 this fall!
pickI really enjoyed this memoir of lessons learned while learning the way of tea. I feel like I gained a greater appreciation of Japanese tea, and the lessons (life lessons, not tea) felt very timely. I also would like to try a bunch of traditional Japanese sweets now too!
A quick and inspiring book, best enjoyed with matcha 🍵
