Erica Talks Books(and sometimes other things!)

A cute and educational story. I really loved the incorporation of evolutionary science into the story. It's a great way to learn.

I love this! This is a book about embracing your true self and not succumbing to the pressures of conformity. It's also an empowering message about the impact a single person can make when they embrace their differences.

Clear and concise writing. This book covers a wide array of health ailments that are organized into intuitive categories, such as “Digestive Health,” “Cardiovascular Health,” etc. And in each section there are a large assortment of recipes, allowing for some flexibility if you grow your own herbs.

First, let me say that there is a lot, lot, lot, lot of information in this book. It is more than a refresher on grammar rules. It's more like the Holy Grail of grammar rules—learn them all and you will rule the grammar world!

I love pizza, and I generally make it at home a few times a month, so this book was instantly exciting to me. And holy wowza, I have received a thorough pizza-making education!

A lovely classic with lots of witty banter and plenty of moments of intrigue. Good rising and falling action.

What a thrill of a ride! Fun. Gritty. Lots of action and intrigue. And I loved the premise for this one. It was conceptually unique and instantly compelling. I can definitely picture it as a TV show with its non-stop action and diverse characters.

A sweet book about loss, gardening, and friendship. I definitely recommend this for any kids that like gardening, or to any whose best friend just moved away.

What a surprisingly fantastic book. Once I got into it I blew through it, unable to put it down. The characters are strong, yet vulnerable. The plot is full of intrigue and mystery. The world building is rich and enthralling. And the main character's suitors are both equally captivating—dark and brooding and thoroughly mysterious. I loved how the slow burn romance continued to tease and tantalize throughout.

I always worry about short stories, because they are so hard to pull off. But this story had elegant prose; and bold, visceral imagery that was both haunting and sublime. There was solid character development, great world building, plot, and some interesting subtext regarding the creatures we become in order to survive.

Such a fun and emotional story, with gorgeous and quirky art. This retelling of “Frau Holle” does a fantastic joy of conveying the burnout of everyday chores and the joys of relaxation after much hard work has been achieved.

Omgz! I'm giddy over how much I love this book.
