Her famous painting has thorns around her neck. She died young and her house now has all her pictures for people to see, and she painted when she had a pain in her back.

I like dingoes at dinner time because I like when there is a wildfire and I also like when the famous Australian dogs chased after the mother kangaroo and threw her baby out out of her patch so she would be safe and I also like when the koala get saved by Annie and Annie says that she is so cute

It's a really good book because it's very humorous and has very small but strong details. For example, he does not like his sister, and when her hair turned green, he made a very funny song about her. I also really like the little flip bug.

I like mysteries. I like trying to guess who the person was that did the crime. It was easy to read.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, magic, and a good evil figure. There is so much action and it is non-stop adrenaline as Alina Starkov struggles with her immense power. If you’ve read Shadow and Bone, I recommend you continue on with the series. This is the second book in the series and the next book is Ruin and Rising. Totally worth the read.

I recommended this book to a friend, Barbara Jackson.

An interesting dive into the different ways gardening and plants have inspired different authors of mysteries. Discusses different books (and shares them at the end for ease of finding when you inevitably decide some of them sound like amazing reads themselves). I appreciated the concept, having not read something like this before. Marta does an excellent job infusing her own interests and humor into the information she is sharing. I read Sherlock Holmes as a child and have not delved too deeply into mysteries beyond cozy ones as an adult but this book is a great launch off point. My husband has been getting into gardening so this was a fun juxtaposition of both of our current interests and it was fun to share tidbits as I went along through the chapters.

It was fun to make origami with it.

It was a super good book!
