Water flows down

Bubbles fizz and churn

Nice and hot on your skin

But not so hot it burns

Oranges to make you happy

Witch hazel to keep you young

Lavender to sooth you

Rose petals for some fun

Candles give a soothing glow

Pretty music flies

Light dances with the shadows

To make flowers and butterflies

Sink down in the water

Close your weary eyes

None are here but you

In this lovely paradise

Getting out now, time to dry

Soft towel over silky skin

Now you’re ready to go forth

And slowly begin again

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

This book is so depressing! Poor Rachel... so bitter and empty. Trapped between 2 world's, both of which she hates. Her feelings of worthlessness and nothing essentially cut the reader so deep it makes the reader themselves want a drink! She hates the world & everyone in it. Especially herself. ⚠️This book is severely triggering for anyone with serious depression/anxiety issues. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone having said issues.⚠️ I can see why people call it "intense" as the ending surely is just that. It has a good climax. However to get there seems so daunting you feel you want to just give up. Reading this book is like Atreyu & Artex drudging through the terrible thickness of The Swamps of Sadness. I seriously just want to curl into a ball and cry. I know exactly how Rachel feels, so this book was extremely difficult for me to read. READER BEWARE!

Naughty Neighbor by Janet Evanovich

Ugh, this book was annoyingly cute. It's one of those romance books where "I just met you, but I love you and want to marry you". Completely unrealistic even for fiction in my opinion. It's like an hour Lifetime TV special. My head seriously hurts from rolling my eyes so much. I think I  might have whiplash. Total romance cheese.
However, Evanovich writes very simply and her writings are easy to follow and get into. As much as I was annoyed by the story itself, I was still able to finish the book. I would recommend this book as a quick casual read to the romance/fiction reader.

At Dawn We Slept by Gordon W. Prange

Holy cats! This text is such an incredible source of historical information regarding Pearl Harbor. The book is written in an easy-to-follow narrative and all is easy to understand (not too many nautical/aeronautical terms thrown everywhere). This text covers the building up to, the attack itself and the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. It includes all the planning and trials, the espionage and war games, the powder keig build up, the devastation, and the consequences and trials that followed. This is an amazing piece of literature that should definitely earn it's place next to classics such as War and Peace. Highly recommend!

Happy New Year!🍓
