Secret Formulas & Techniques of the Masters door Jackie Craven
Deze bespreking is geschreven door de auteur.
Full disclosure: I'm the author, so of course I will praise this book! But I want to let readers know why I have special affection for the poems in Secret Formulas. They were written during the chaotic years after my parents died. Although not strictly autobiographical, the poems describe a search for answers as I sorted through dozens of paintings my artist mother left behind. Odd and often disturbing images suggested a hidden life—a mother I never imagined. Secret Formulas became a way to make sense of complicated relationships and to find laughter in weird absurdities. And then, there's the title and the fascinating backstory of an artist who claimed to have rediscovered nearly magical formulas for creating the illusion of reality. Here's an article about that and about my writing process: https://t.co/jU3zDN7DKs

I could go on and on, but I really want to know what you think. Please read Secret Formulas & Techniques of the Masters and post a review. Thanks!

Just repeats the same uselessly generic and/or basic common sense "advice" over and over again.

The stress-free home : beautiful interiors for… door Jackie Craven
I personally didn't like any of the interior design ideas in this book and the advice on reducing stress was the same old stuff that anyone can find with a couple of minutes of looking at the top search results on the internet. The one thing I really liked about the book, though was the color of the text pages. The colors were really pretty and complemented the text nicely.

Probably not worth reading, but pretty.
