I Did A Thing...I Published A Book!

I wrote and self-published a poetry book!!! Some of you may have seen about it on my Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook pages, but for those who haven't...ta-da! I am so thrilled about Goodbye Darkness, Hello Light. I have been working towards my goal to self-publish for so very long. Thank you to everyone in the book community that has supported me on this journey. This whole process has been very emotional for me and I'm thrilled that my book is finally out there in the world. All my dreams have come true. <3 

Stay tuned here on my blog because soon I will be sharing one poem from each of the four parts (Goodbye, Darkness, Hello, and Light are the names of the four parts) in the book.

The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One By: Amanda Lovelace ARC Super Mini Review

Thank you to Netgalley for providing a free ebook copy of The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One By: Amanda Lovelace in exchange for an honest review.

I LOOOOOVED The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One! The poems in this book are feminist, moving, and very powerful. I am glad that she covered so many important topics. As a woman, I am grateful for poetry like this. Poetry that says a lot of the things that I think most of us women are thinking. Honestly, these are the kind of things that need to be said more and more. I find Amanda Lovelace's poetry inspirational and a must read for everyone. Words can't describe just how much I loved this book!

Can't-Wait Wednesday- The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at Wishful Endings.  The idea behind it is to share upcoming releases that we can't wait to get our hands on!

My pick for this week is The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One By: Amanda Lovelace. I absolutely adored her last poetry book, The Princess Saves Herself In This One, so of course I'm anxiously awaiting this one! I loved how in her last poetry book all of the poems are very relatable. I'm hoping The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One will be more of the same type of relatable poetry.

Expected Publication Date: March 6, 2018 

Are you looking forward to reading The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One as well? Have you read The Princess Saves Herself In This One, and if so, did you like it? 

The Princess Saves Herself In This One By: Amanda Lovelace Mini Review

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free ebook copy of The Princess Saves Herself in this One By: Amanda Lovelace in exchange for an honest review. 

Short Review Summary: 

A fantastic book of raw, emotional poetry.

After I read Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur earlier this year I was craving something similar to read and  found it with The Princess Saves Herself in this One. The covers are similar, the writing style is similar, and the themes in the books are similar. This book is filled poems about love, feminism, healing, and more.

#JustWhatIWasLookingFor

As a woman I can identify with a lot of the poetry in this book. I am amazed by how much honest emotion is packed into such short poems. The poems in this book are beautiful, tragic, raw, and inspirational. 

#HonestPoetry

Overall I loved The Princess Saves Herself in this One quite a bit. I have found another new favorite book of poetry! I can't wait to read more by this author. 

#NewFave!

I recommend The Princess Saves Herself in this One to fans of Milk & Honey and to anyone who loves poetry that is easy to read and connect with.

#HighlyRecommend 

*Also, does anyone know of any other poetry books similar in style and content to this one and Milk & Honey?* 

Milk and Honey By: Rupi Kaur Review- I love finding new books through other bloggers!

Thank you to Tori and her review of Milk and Honey on her blog http://www.intorilex.com/. I was not sold on reading this book, until I read her amazing review and then I just had to read it for myself. Also, thank you to my amazing friend that bought me the book for my birthday. 

#ThanksChicas!

I'm so glad I saw Tori's review because Milk and Honey is a new favorite book for me! This small book of poetry really packs a big punch. There is so much emotion, heartache, and hope in here. It's unbelievable. I love everything about this book. The honesty. The pain. The openness. The femininity. The healing. The hope. Wow, just wow. Milk and Honey accurately portrays what it FEELS like to be a woman. I hope Rupi Kaur comes out with another book similar to this and SOON. 

#Man!IFeelLikeAWoman!

I fully believe that this is a book every woman needs to read. If my autistic daughter were a typical child I would give her this book to read. I would give her this book and tell her that she is beautiful, be true to herself, support other women, and to never accept anything less than she deserves. This is something that all women need to be told anyway, but these poems really hit the mark. 

#YouAreBeautifulInEverySingleWay

This little book of poetry really moved me and I like the simplistic drawings that go along with them as well. They fit so perfectly with the poetry. 

#DrawingsGetPropsToo

Overall Milk and Honey is a heartbreaking and beautiful book of poetry and similar in style to e.e. cummings, as far as format goes. I don't think that I can accurately describe just how much these poems resonated with me. I read this in one sitting and I already can't wait to read it again. This is a breathtaking book that I will cherish and read often. 

#IWantToReadItAgain

I recommend Milk and Honey to every living, breathing female on the planet. Well maybe only for ages 12+, depends on the parent.
