Review: I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeannette McCurdy
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t read nearly enough memoirs. That being said, Jeannette McCurdy’s autobiography (I’m Glad My Mom Died) is one of those rare books that got my attention and made me desperate to read it. I’ll admit that part of this stems from my days of loving iCarly. But mostly? I think it’s important to read about (and understand) the cost and pain that many child stars struggle with.

Yet, there was something about Funny Farm that called to me. I’m confident it was the animal element, being a pet lover myself. Continue reading

Review: This Book is Cruelty Free by Linda Newbery
A disclosure before I begin my review: I picked up This Book is Cruelty Free for several reasons. For one thing, I am a vegetarian, and recently I’ve been trying to monitor my impact on the world. Not just in regards to animals, but the environment as well. So naturally, a novel like this instantly appealed to me. Continue reading
Review: The Darkest Glare by Chip Jacobs

I’ve been following Lovely Greens on Facebook for a few years now…so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see that Tanya Anderson had written a book! A Woman’s Garden: Grow Beautiful Plants and Make Useful Things is everything that it promises – and more. Continue reading
