Michelle rated a book 2 of 5 stars Thunder and Lightning: Cracking Open the Writer's Craft by Natalie Goldberg read in September, 2011	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I couldn't get into this book as much as Writing Down the Bones, or Wild Mind. I require much more around writing a novel, structure-wise, than provided here, and found the drifting off to Goldberg's love of American Southern writers just too local f...more

Michelle rated a book 4 of 5 stars Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life by Natalie Goldberg recommended for: writers read in September, 2011	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars

I read Room as part of a local reading group (which will be meeting shortly, so have to admit to some complete ignorance of the story going in. I purposely didn't read any reviews or blurbs before starting, so the actual story itself (and captivation...more

Michelle rated a book 3 of 5 stars I Kill by Giorgio Faletti read in July, 2011	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I enjoy the thriller / crime genre for reading, and this particular novel provided all that I wanted for some seat-of-the-pants reading during some sunny holiday days. Set in Monte Carlo, the descriptions made me want to visit the city itself, and th...more

This is the second book for a local book reading club, and I am yet to discuss it with other mothers here (many of whom are in all technical aspects, actual Chinese immigrant tiger mums). As a memoir, it provides some inconsistencies in the multi-cha...more
