Re: Review of Shine a Light
I don't read poetry nowadays, so this book might not be for me. I'm sure other readers will like it, though. Congratulations on BOTD!

- Latest Review: Neither Safe Nor Effective (2nd Edition) by Dr. Colleen Huber
This collection of poems that are insightful and simple should be inspirational; it covers themes such as hate crimes, religion, and child abuse. As suggested here, if some issues related to the presentation have been worked upon then this book would be even better. Thank you for the review!

- Latest Review: On the wings of a prayer by Kola Kupoluyi
Poems that talk about the things people are afraid to talk about is great. Mental health, menopause and others are not well talked about in the society and someone needs to address this aspects. I find this book interesting since it is relatable. The author's voice in this poems is great. Sexual orientation and sexism are also important aspects. I admire the aithor of this book.

The writer has chosen a great way to convey her message about the trouble of adolescence. By choosing poetry, her work is uncommon and outstanding. Thanks for the review.

I like the way the facts about teenager's life have been expressed in a much detailed manner. I enjoyed the review.
