4 | A short book on how to prepare for the inevitable | The author tells how to minimize a lifetime worth of stuff for the sake of inheritants.

4 | A man struggles with clinical depression and anxiety, not a comedy book | I thought it was a comedy book, but it wasn't. It's a memoir focused on a dark period in Danny Evans life. He lost his job right before the conflagration (9/11). He became bedridden, immobilized, cranky, demanding, abusive, and alcoholic.

4 | I love originality | I found the devise of the two main characters writing of each other simultaneously a bit tricky to read at first. For example, Madeleine's narrator would start the paragraph, and Edward's would finish it. Madeleine d'Leon is the mystery writer, and Edward Mc Ginnity is the literary one, involved in a murder mystery.

5 | A beautiful book for enjoyment and inspiration | I like these types of books which dispel any preconceived ideas of how to create portraits. It's inspirational rather than educational. Use any preferred medium and a live model, self portrait, or app image to practice and note personal style.

5 | As told by a dog, an animal POV, my new favorite narrative style | Translated from Norwegian, a dog's thoughts on life. His mistress educates him on Amundsen's S. Pole voyage with treatment of dogs as most important aspect. Depiction of elderly is spot on, and those would be the target audience.
