Funny/bittersweet story about Margherita and the verrry strange neighbors who build a black cube next door and start to take over her whole family. And why doesn’t one of them cast a shadow?

Honey, all I have is 15 minutes, if I’m lucky.

I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more Jane Austen books now – I’d previously only read Emma (and seen Clueless!)

You’ll never look at food the same way again! This is Sophie’s latest favorite book.

On first reading, didn’t like this one as well as 4 or 5. But I appreciate how much needs to be set up for book 7. It’s not as thrilling, but still satisfying. I think what’s bothering me is that usually there’s a plot twist (or three!) that totally take me by surprise, but there only seemed to be one that I didn’t see coming. It’s a necessary book. ;) Makes me all the more eager for book 7, and yet, I don’t want it to come because it means it’ll all be over….

So much more than a memoir, this book is the survival guide of a woman and mother who uses her art to live after a crushing tragedy.

Love this series. Mystery/crime/thriller/detective novel with outstanding characters that actually grow from book to book.

Sophie loves me to sing this to her every night. Instead of the usual “Mama’s going to buy you…”, Mama instead shows her baby the beauty of nature and shows all the wonder there is to be found that can’t be bought. Beautifully illustrated, too.

I kept seeing this book recommended, so when I saw it at our library, I had to nab it. It’s next on my to-read list.

This CD is the one I almost always start a long Photoshop session with… the pop rhythms seem to synch well with my mood.
