AUTISM

★★★

I loved that this book dealt with autism and the autistic main character was well portrayed, but all the other aspects of the story fell limp. The thing that bothered me the most was the author said he wrote the book in order to promote adoption of children with disabilities, but the events at the end of the book will do the opposite in my opinion.

NETGALLEY

My warning is not to read this while eating. She likes to decribe bodily functions and sweaty crevices in great detail. I am not sure the way she presents the larger than average size body in her stories is going to help acceptance and body positive feelings, which is what I was led to believe this book was supposed to be about. It has been slow going because I cannot listen to it during meals on text-to-speech and I cannot drink anything but water while reading it. I should probably dnf even though I am over 50% and give my time to a fully positive book. It publishes May 30th.

SUMMER VACATION READS

I thought I would mix this topic up a little and it won't be what you expect because when I'm on a vacation I don't really "read"; I want to be soaking up sights and sounds and enjoying my family and friends. However, at the beach or lounging in a hammock you might find me looking at one of these...

1. A magazine: home decorating, architecture, gardening, cooking, travel.

2. Catalogs: clothing, furniture, plants and seeds, pet supplies, kitchen items.

3. Coffee table books: lots of large wonderful images and not much text. 

4. How-to manuals: Photography, cookbooks, gardening, decorating, crafts.

5. Brochures: local attractions and histories.

6. Newspaper: I always get the Sunday New York Times while on vacation and I like to peruse the local area papers, too.

7. Entertaiment guide: I grab all the free arts and entertainment papers I can get my hands on. I love going to see local bands and performers.

8. Local buy 'n sell paper: I get excited about going to flea markets and hitting all the antique, secondhand, and what-not shops.

9. Sudoku puzzle book.

10. Crossword puzzle book.
