Right book, right time.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

April 17, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

Right book, right time. I sat down with Maybe You Should Talk to Someone first thing Saturday morning, and late Sunday morning I finished it. I really didn’t mean to finish it so fast, but I would put it down for a break and then my fingers would reach for it on their own, and I just kept reading. This book is half memoir, recalling Gottlieb’s time in therapy following a painful and unexpected breakup, and half non-fiction, recounting several of Gottlieb’s own therapy patients […]

Arrested Development, No Bluths. No, strike that, I refuse to be flippant about this gorgeous novel.

February 5, 2016 by borisanne 1 Comment

When I read Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History” over a decade ago, it stuck with me for quite some time. I think “The Goldfinch” is going to haunt me even longer. I don’t know how she does it, but Tartt’s writing style is, for me at least, the literary version of an earworm that has no burn factor. I could not stop thinking about this book every time I put it down. I kept bringing it up with people at work. My dreams were screwed up. […]

Textbooks, Textbooks, Textbooks…

May 22, 2014 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

They may technically be textbooks, but I read them from front to back. And considering how I’ve been powering through so many lately, the last thing I want to do when I have free time is read anything for myself, even something fun (guess that means more time for drawing One Direction fanart portraits… I mean… uh…??). And so, here are my reviews #13-15, for the following books: Spiritual Care and Therapy: Integrative Perspectives by Peter Van Katwyk Ethical Issues in Art Therapy (2nd Ed) […]
