I won an advance copy of Start from author Robin O'Bryant's blog, and I'm so glad I did. This is a motivational book packed with great insights, presented with a light, easy-to-read writing style. Acuff shares his ideas in an upbeat, modern, often funny way that breathes new life into all the old truths we know to be true and tend to forget in the day-to-day grind (or, maybe, even truths you never knew to be true). My copy is seriously dog-earred and highlighted, and I plan to buy a handful of new clean copies to share with others so they can do the same.(less)

This is a bittersweet, fairly dark and ultimately uplifting book. It is about the young romance between Tiger Lily and Peter Pan, before Peter fell in love with Wendy. YA fantasy and romance are not genres to which I'm typically drawn, so this was a first for me. Though this book is both, it was more a story about growing up, loyalty (to one's self as well as to others) and the different kinds of love we experience throughout our lives. It just happened to take place in Neverland with mermaids, pirates and fairies. And I enjoyed it all. As a writer, I appreciated the narrator of the story, Tinker Bell. Fairies can't speak, but they can read others' thoughts, memories and hearts. In this way, the narrator is somewhat omniscient and allows the reader to better understand the actions of characters who most often say and do one thing while thinking and feeling something quite different. It was a unique way to tell the story and get into the heads of many of the characters. Tinker Bell was not quite an all-knowing narrator, however, and she had her own place in the story, her own emotions and her own motivations. I grew as fond of her as I did of Tiger Lily. Many of the characters portrayed will be familiar to fans of Disney's Peter Pan (Tink, Captain Hook, Smee, the lost boys), but this is a darker tale and one, as I understand it, that is closer to the tone of J.M. Barrie's original Peter Pan play and novel (which is now going on my to-read list). (less)

We all know the story of "Alice in Wonderland," but what many people don't know is the fanciful story was inspired by an actual little girl. Author Melanie Benjamin drew her inspiration for her novel Alive I Have Been from a traveling exhibition titled "Dreaming in Pictures: The Photography of Lewis Carroll." In it was a photograph of 7-year-old Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Carroll's famous story. Benjamin was so intrigued by the photography of Alice that she thoroughly researched the lives of both author and muse. Her historical novel imagines what Alice's life had been as a child and as a woman, as THE Alice in Wonderland. Part love story, part mystery, this book captures all the magic, joy and heartbreak of life. Benjamin has a true writing gift. I highly recommend "Alice I Have Been" and I eagerly await her forthcoming novel, "The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb."(less)

This was an inspiring writing book overall. Great for aspiring writers looking for ideas, encouragement or "permission" to write. Those looking for publishing how-to advice might want a more recent book; because this was published in 1999, I felt that many of the ideas on breaking in were outdated. That said, it was interesting to read about Berg's story and how she herself broke in. (less)
