2 Book Reviews: Love & Memory

Hello readers,


Today I got to spend my morning at the bookstore and I bought this book: 'My Name is Memory' by Ann Brashares. I wish there was a sequel to this book I just finished. It's my first adult book I read. It was complex and draining, but I loved it. The young man lived man lives and remembers it. The young woman lived many lives, too, but doesn't remember it. Finally, they get to meet. Yet the young man had an evil brother in another life and had married her. He reaches her before him. And well, you should read it to figure out what happens and the journey to it.

Also today at the bookstore I'm in the middle of reading 'The House I Loved' by Tatiana de Rosnay. It's a book in a POV of an old lady with a heart of a young lover. She is a stubborn person not wanting to leave her home while the high authority destroys neighborhoods to remodel into the new era. She tells her story in a long letter to her deceased husband. Part of the ending was expected, but the other half was a surprise. Yet wholly, it was relieving and sad in a way. I love this story because I love historical fiction. I got to take a look at like in Paris. This author has two other books which I loved and just had to pick this one up, too! And I hope you do, too!

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
