#NationalPoetryMonth: Beekeeper by Blake Auden Book Review

Posted on by The Smart Cookie

ever have I ever thought to compare the noisiness of love and heartbreak to a colony of bees but Auden does so effortlessly.

His poetry is raw, emotive, and timely, neither sloppy or slimy. It’s free verse instead of rhymed meter.

The Beekeeper will resonate with anyone who has felt the sting of love’s heartbreak, and the memories and processing of letting someone go long after they left.

#FromTheTube: New Youtube Series

Posted on by The Smart Cookie

Today I launched the first episode of Snap, Crackle Pop: Book Versus Movie Discussion

where I read books based on movies and then watch the movie and give my feedback.

I feel like it will be beneficial to the book community as I always aim to read the book before watching the movie or tv show that they make based on books but it also allows for me to save people the time if I felt the movie didn’t honor the book in the way it deserved.

Here is the first episode. Enjoy (with or without popcorn) and please consider liking the video on Youtube to help it reach more bookish movie lovers.
