Broken

Broken

By Jenny Lawson

*****

This is Jenny’s third book (not including her coloring book).

Her books are roll on the floor laugh out loud hilarious. Mainly because I can see my husband and I bantering about the same stuff. Jenny has an illness well, she has many illnesses and she chooses laughter to deal with it most days. Others days she just wants to be left alone to fight her demons. This book reminds me a little of self help. She gives lists in the back of her books for help lines and her taxidermy raccoons are a huge favorite of mine. Poor Victor.... 

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review but I also pre-ordered it from Jenny’s bookstore. 

If you decide to order from her bookstore it will come signed. $27.99 plus shipping came to $32.99.

The lost apothecary

by: Sarah Penner

*****

Historical fiction

18th century London, there is a shop that sells poison to women whose husbands are unfaithful. Nella has only 2 rules, she must write down the name of every woman who poisons their husband and rule number two, the poison must never be used on another woman. 

Eliza is a 12 year old who goes to Nellas shop to get a bottle of poison for her mistress. She becomes an apprentice and helps Nella around the shop. Eliza makes a grave error that has Nella on edge. 

Caroline is present day in London when she stumbles across a tiny vile with a bear etched on it. She decides since she is on her anniversary without her cheating husband she will track down where the bottle came from. She finds everything she is looking for and then some. 

The audio version follows all 3 of these woman and their stories. I am so very thankful I was able to listen to the advanced version. This book has been on my TBR since it was announced last year! The cover is STUNNING! 

Below is where I pre-ordered my copy! Set to release March 2nd.
