I am going to get a drink and then I will be starting on this. I hope I can make it a good one. Title: Milk & Honey Author: Rupi Kaur Genre: Poetry Pages: 208 Rating: 2 stars Synopsis: Milk & Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femineity. My thought's on the book: Ok this is probably going to be controversial but, I didn't love this book. I know it gets a lot of good reviews but, this one just didn't grab me. I was disappointed in that too because I really thought it had potential because it sounded good.   To be honest I think her words fell flat. That lead to writing that just wasn't mem

So that was really nice!    Now I want to do this book review. I think this will be a quick one too for reasons that you will see. I think it's gonna be fun though because you all aren't to used to me giving this type of review. I got my drink so lets do this! Title: The Great Gatsby Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald  Genre: Fiction Pages: 180 Rating: 1 star Synopsis: The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, and lavish parties in Long Island during the roaring 20s'.  My thoughts on the book: The Great Gatsby = The Great Bore!! I hated it ! I thought it would be a quick read because it's just 180 pages. No those were some of the longest dullest 180 pages ever!  I just couldn't get into it at all. I really wanted to like it because a lot of my favo
