This book seems like a perfect one. The poetry in it is surely going to impact the reader. Natural themes are even chosen as topic. Adding quotes which inspired these poem, also makes the topic more meaningful.

While I have a love/hate relationship with poetry, I do appreciate poetry that makes one think. Poetry about nature can also be a nice, beautiful read. Thank you for the helpful review.

I was not a fan of poetry initially. But of lately I've been finding a few great books containing poetry. This one seems like I can add to my reading list. I like the initiative these poems have. Looking around the natural world feeling the nature is one of the things people these days forgot.

I am a selective reader of poems, and a poetry book that reflects on the natural world and its beauty sounds like one I can enjoy. I am, therefore, looking forward to reading it. Thank you for this wonderful review!

"Catnip of Life" by Sharla Lee. An interesting book of poetry, the book reveals an understanding of many different emotions and thoughts, each one designed to communicate to the reader something deeper than rhyme or stanza. The book has a way of passing message to the reader, through the questions answering. Congrats on your #BOTD.

I loved the layout and the quotes that seemed to entitle the sections of the book *Catnip of Life* by Sharla Lee. It was a very clever layout title of the book and an enticing book cover. The sample was pretty short but I am really interested in this book of poetry because of the review and all of the attributes that I could see that this book offers. Thank you.

I love poems, irrespective of the topics being discussed. I'm certain I'll love this book. The focus on the environment gives a lot of other topics to be discussed. Congratulations on BOTD.

The way this book is described, makes me feel like the poems will be food for the soul. Almost like a guide to dig deeper to find the little joys in life. A reminder to stop and smell the roses, if you will. This is definitely going on my to-read list.

Overall, my impression of Catnip of Life by Sharla Lee is that it is a beautifully written and well-formatted book of poetry that offers a thought-provoking and meditative experience for the reader. The focus on nature and the invitation to appreciate its beauty and connect with it is a refreshing reminder in our busy modern lives. The inclusion of questions and spaces for personal reflection make this book an interactive and engaging read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry, nature, and reflective reading.
