February 2022 Reading Wrap-Up | Part 1

So, it was a mixed bag in terms of the types of poems. But, like I said, basically the sentiments, what he chooses to write about, what he notices, I really enjoy.

I think my opinion is pretty similar to a lot of other people's in that I also really enjoyed Drowned Country. It was really good, but it wasn't quite as good for me as Silver in the Wood.

It was lovely and sweet and I really enjoyed reading it. I don't have much more to say about it than that though. I also really enjoyed the illustrations.

This is the sequel to the novella Silver in the Wood, which I read in January and I really, really enjoyed.

Then there is The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord, which is one of my favorite books I've read so far this year. This book I have been meaning to read for over 7 years, guys. I have owned the ebook for like five.

Anyway, this poetry collection just It touches on a lot of the same topics that I really loved from his essay collection, The Book of Delights.

Like The Bride Test was It's just not very memorable for me.

But, The Heart Principle really surprised me with how like immediately invested I was in reading this. Like I compulsively read it over about 2 days. Like I didn't want to do anything but read this book.

And The Kiss Quotient is basically the romance novel that got me into reading romance on a regular basis. I was looking for things that were like that book.

So, I really loved the way that storytelling was used in this and how important it was even in a society where storytelling is completely unknown. Like it connects to people on this very deep level.
