Kiwiflora's review
of
Bitter Almonds: Recollections and Recipes from a Sicilian Girlhood:
"I have mixed feelings about this book. Firstly what sort of book is it? Is it a recipe book - 111 pages of its 229 pages are recipes; secondly is it biography of Maria Grammatico or thirdly is it a memoir of Mary Taylor Simeti telling how she came to"

This was an excellent psychological thriller. Though the twists and turns were a bit contrived, and I was usually there well in advance, they did keep me engaged and guessing throughout the book. The writing style was strangely stilted, which prevente ...more |

"CHANGED MY REVIEW TO ONE STAR:
I read in another review that Mel Robbins ripped this idea off of a Cassie Phillips poem. The audacity! I hope she donates her proceeds to that poet. Here's an idea: "When people rip off your ideas and pass them off as t" Read more of this review » |

"Is this the whitest woman with the fewest problems? You would be forgiven for thinking so for most of the book until she tackles actual issues, at which point her advice is (thankfully) to consult a professional. Otherwise, this is a repetitive, over"

| An interesting book, and I'm glad I read it, but if you're looking for radically new advice, you're probably not going to find it here. For instance, in the chapter about supporting loved ones who are struggling, the advice was to not step in and sav ...more | |

“Or maybe they enjoy it now, like the lions of Tsavo,� Steven added. “The lions started out killing people for food, but ended up doing it for sport. For fun.”

“Yet, every day, I miss the feeling of flying. I will never experience it again. Sometimes, if I run far enough, past my limits, I can beat my legs into numbness, almost replicating the feeling of being a young gymnast on a good day. I can make myself feel numb but heavy. Never light. And I always feel the pain later. I pay the price with sore shins, aching ankles, and "hip pointers" jabbing into my pelvis.
Still, I have a love affair with gymnastics, with that period in my life. Often, I dream dreams of weightlessness. When I feel most disheartened, heavy with the burdens of everyday life, I imagine myself buoyant, floatable. I waft, on my own accord, propelled by my own volition, in effortless control. Completely powerful, resilient, substantial, agile.
I miss it every day.”
