"I'm going to tell the world about how there was men in here that mattered. That cared about each other and the world. That were learning how to look at things differently."

"You're going to tell it on the mountain, Ray?"

"I'm going to tell it on every single mountain there is... on the top of every single mountain I can find... I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to tell your story."

I just finished the first novel in this collection, A Mysterious Affair At Styles. I felt just as lost as Mr. Hastings trying to solve this murder, but who can compare with Poirot? This is an intriguing story, but I was not a fan of the narrator being in the first person pov from a character who is not Poirot.

These stories are one of a kind!

This book has made me aware of the work of bee keeping, of the adversity to maintaining bees/hives/and still make a livelihood, and how critical the beekeeping situation in the US is. This book was published in 2011 so I imagine the situation today is even more dire.

This is great read if you or a family member have BPD. This book is giving me lots of hope and is arming me with knowledge so I'm in a better place to understand, empathize, and help my family member with BPD. The information is accessible and easy to comprehend. The only chapter I struggled with was chapter seven about the biological aspects of BPD, but I got the main idea and that's all I need.

I love this book! I'm taking so many notes and I am excited to put the science in action.

What an extraordinarily written book! I picked this up because I love the movie, and reading the book gives me so much more context for the time period and individuals.

I was hooked before I finished reading the first two lines of page one! I've found myself in a cycle of laughing every few pages and crying in the next few. I hope to have this book finished before the week's out.

I really want to like this book, but I'm having a hard time staying invested in the story. I think the main reason for this is that I don't really like the way Marina and Mr. Fox's relationship is written nor Marina and Karen's. I'm going to push through and hope it gets better.

If this doesn't become my new favorite book by the time I done with it, it will definitely be a very, very close second favorite. Not only am I learning so much about the animals, plants, and insects featured, but the authors insights are so heartwarming, and while I can't relate to most of the authors life, I feel understood. I am not even done with the book yet, but how I wish I could read for the first time again!
