Top 5 Wednesday: Goals of 2017

-
Top 5 Wednesday: Goals My first goal is to become a more critical reader.  I’m a pretty opened minded reader, though I have genre’s I read more than others and there are certain books I just won’t read, but mostly its hard for me to find fault in the books I read.  I’m sure there are faults and I just hate to criticize, but I am going to become a reviewer in a friend’s magazine, so I feel I need to learn to criticize and accept criticism of the books I like. My next goal is not let others influence my opinions. This doesn’t just apply to books, but to a lot of things.  I am a very sensitive and get easily offended.

Hello Beautiful Review

Review for Hello Beautiful By: Ann Napolitano             “Hello Beautiful” is a fictional drama of the relationship between William, a young man with basketball dreams and his wife, Julia. After tragedy strikes, the relationship between William and Julia, along with the rest of the family, starts to fall apart as truths and secrets are revealed. Side-note—I listened to the audio book and was pleasantly surprised at hearing the narration by Maura Tierney, an actress I’m familiar with.  Her soothing voice also delivers the emotions of these characters.              I found myself drawing similarities between “Hello Beautiful” and the classic novel “Little Women”, which Napolitano includes in the story.  Julia Padavano, and her three sisters each love and identify with the four March girls in “Little Women”, claiming the one they identify with th...
