192 books21 followersI think my book Ever Herself is far more interesting than I am.
From the intro:
The naked female body has inspired artists from the beginning of time.
The poet, the sculptor, the painter and, more recently, the photographer, each in their own medium, expresses the beauty, fragility and power of her form.
Sometimes the image is made for profit, or vanity confuses the objective, and rather than the muse offering a glimpse into higher worlds, she has been subjected to baser realms. What this book offers is an alternative.
This is a work that celebrates the diversity of the female figure with respect and humour. It is about the women you know – all shapes, all sizes, from diverse backgrounds and of differing nationalities.
Rather than plastic, pouting personalities, here are real women sharing an intimate moment with you.
Their uniqueness and appeal is interspersed with erotic poetry and salient quotes too. The words of celebrated beat poet John Esam, and the lauded William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, SK Tremayne and Chaucer, as well as lesser-known writers, all add to the richness of this publication.

Cute little children's book that came into my possession. But why is the new neighbor mouse so inconsiderate in the first place? Feels like the ending is the beginning to another story, or should be.

This had to have been the most suspenseful storybook my mom read to me as a child. I was always so worried for Maxwell Mouse on his search to find the source of the banging noise, but it always ended well. Our copy went to my sister, so I had to order my own off Amazon, of course. Delightful illustrations. Published in 1982.

This was adorable! Showed the bond and relationship between neighbors- one a boy mouse and one a girl. At first maxwell was so concerned about a loud noise he was hearing. He traveled all throughout the house to find the source of this nice. At the end, he realizes it was a girl mouse named marsha who was setting up her house next to his. They both became friends. I thought this had a great message~ which I believed to be to respect and love your neighbor.
