SARK's first books, Succulent Wild Woman and Bodacious Book of Succulence, are refreshing, whimsical, empowering, healing. I owned a women's bookstore when they first came out and SARK really created a sensation. Later, IMHO, her books became redundant and she tried to hard to recreate her initial success. Ultimately, she was way over-marketed.

recommends it for: anyone looking for creative inspiration or wanting to heal nasty past relationships
I tend to forget about SARK until I have another life "crisis" and feel like I need some inspiration, and then I remember I have some of her books tucked away. At times they can be a bit too cheesy for me, but I am the kind of person who takes life too seriously in general, so they do kind of lighten me up a bit. A lot of the topics SARK writes about hit home for me and re-reading them always gives me food for thought. Most of all, SARK reminds me that being imperfect is okay and ne...more

bookshelves: art, writing
I've had several books by SARK over the years, but this is the one that is still on my bookshelf. I pull it down when I need inspiration and encouragement as a poet, a photographer, an artist, a living person. I appreciate all this book has taught me, including to relax and create, even if my art doesn't bring in money.

I remember reading all of these books in college, my junior year and loving them. They are very colorful and uplifting if I remember correctly! Great example of a creative journal. :)

recommends it for: the creative type
Someone once said to me "You are so Sarkey!"...maybe you are too? It's a fun book to have when it's a rainey cold day and you're curled up with a cup of tea. You can pick it up read the end to begining if you want. There really isn't an order to Sarks writing.
