| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Howls from the Dark Ages: An Anthology of Medieval Horror, edited by Joshua Mortensen, is a starred horror selection. "With an overarching theme of a quaint museum visit and an introduction by medieval horror writer Christopher Buehlman, this is a delightfully terrifying trip through history." Selma Blair's starred memoir Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up "is witty, funny, heartbreaking, and beautifully written. This book will be loved by fans of Blair’s work and of her MS advocacy." Collage Your Life: Techniques, Prompts, and Inspiration for Creative Self-Expression and Visual Storytelling, by Melanie Mowinski, is a starred how-to title. "Highly recommended for public libraries. This will appeal to anyone interested in scrapbooking, bullet or art journaling, bookmaking, printmaking, as well as anyone looking for a creative outlet who thinks they aren’t artistically talented." And The Messy Lives of Book People, by Phaedra Patrick, is a starred fiction selection. "A chair on the sand or a window seat near a fireplace would be the perfect venue to soak in this simply delightful read." See All Xpress Reviews››› |
