Book Review…Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison Rory Morris isn't thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, there are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby's father, and needs support. After a night out at a bar where she runs into an old flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she's attacked. Rory survives, but life begins to look and feel different. She's unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. But does that mean she's putting those close to her in danger or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance? A quick, fun, weird and disturbing story that would be great for the fall season! Rory has such a dark sense of humor but it fits perfectly to the book! She was a great character! You never knew what she was going to do next or who she was going to piss off! There's a little bit of romance which was ok. I do wish there was a little more to it but everything else about the book was good! Overall it's a fun and quick paranormal romance read with some mystery and plenty of humor! Thank you Let's Talk Books, Berkley Books and Rachel Harrison for sharing this book with me! #SuchSharpTeeth #RachelHarrison #bookreview #berkleybooks #letstalkbooks #netgalley #Books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booknerd #ebookreview #urbanfantasybook #booksta #bibliophile #bookish #bookrec #igbooks #igreads (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYHL69rxDL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Return by Rachel Harrison

Fast fun read! Four best friends living across the country, one goes missing. After a couple years, they hold a funeral for the missing Julie, but then she returns. She just shows up after two years of being gone claiming to have no memory of the time missing. This book is in the perspective of Elise, a neurotic woman who feels like a sister to initially missing Julie. The four friends are: Elise, Julie, Molly, and Mae. They all have their own personalities but Elise feels like Julie and her have always been very close and similar. Mae decides they need to have a girls’ weekend to reconnect. The location she chooses is a hotel in Maine where everything is gaudy and all the rooms have their own theme. After the girls’ weekend begins, they notice that Julie has changed (A LOT). Elise is by far not a perfect person and at times a lot crazy, but not enough for me to put down the book. I read this book in probably about 4 hours over two days and really enjoyed the ride. Some of the developments were delightfully unexpected, overall the book was pretty good. I really liked the writing style and felt like I was watching a movie. I liked the dynamic between the friends and the background of the hotel was really well done. I personally would have preferred a little more suspense and horror aspects but there was still plenty to keep me turning the pages. This is a four star read for because I wanted MORE. Not just more story, I wanted more creepy moments that weren’t just paranoid thoughts in Elise’s mind. I wanted more events to happen before the reveal. For the length of the book, it’s fantastic. I just personally think this is a book that would have benefitted from more happening in it. (with maybe shorter flashbacks). I would recommend this book to anyone. It has creepy moments, mystery, and great character relationships that you want to know more about.

4 stars!

“I don't even remember who brought it up. It might have been Julie. Sometimes when we're all together, I get confused about who is who. Where one of us stops and the others start. We overlap, bleed together. I love it.” ― Rachel Harrison, The Return • • #maybeebookishlove day 16 - pretty in pink (#bookstack) • • Happy Saturday Bookdragons!

Studio Project #1: Contemporary Samplers

As we spend the next several weeks during class time learning a series of new fiber sculpture processes, you will be responsible to continue your research into these new techniques and apply them in the making of your own studio project, your own contemporary sampler. A traditional sampler is a piece of needlework (often embroidery) produced as a demonstration or test of skill. They have often included the alphabet, figures, motifs, decorative borders etc and the name and date of the person who created them, often children. Samplers functioned as spaces that collected, organized, and evaluated information, often thought of as a way to preserve this information, passing it down to posterity, a place to put forward ideas or sentiments important to the maker of the work. What would these traditional ideas of samplers look like if applied to your own personal contemporary, networked, world? What is important to you? What values do you hold? What do you know how to do? How do you learn? How does what and how you learn connect to your identity? What role does making play in your learning? What do you want to unlearn? What collection of disparate ideas best articulates your present moment? Some ideas that might relate to this project for you to consider as you plan your approach: assemblage making strategies, appropriation, materiality, using text in art, skill & deskilling, tension between surface and form, abstraction & representation, unity (remember 2d design?), tension between order and chaos. Project Guidelines:

1.) Use 4 different conceptual sources for this project and 4 different techniques. Employ your choices of conceptual sources and techniques to create your own contemporary sampler artwork.

Your inspiration and concept sources can come from anywhere that is of genuine interest to you. These could be images or artworks, words (poems, books, essays, etc), ideas, things you research, music….the sky is the limit. The important part is that these sources are things you are actually interested in right now and want to spend time thinking about deeply. Each source should be significantly different from the next. I want to see a diverse group of sources.

2.) 3 of the 4 techniques you use in your project must be from this class. One can come from anywhere else. It could be something you already know how to do, or something you are learning elsewhere. It could come out of other art disciplines, or outside of art.

3.)  The completed artwork can be presented on the wall, floor or hanging (can be 2d, 3d, or 4d), but you are responsible to find a presentation strategy that will best showcase your work for the critique. You are responsible for devising and creating whatever presentation strategies you decide to use for the project.

4.) Create a title for your artwork and have this information available to your classmates at the critique.

Completed projects will be critiqued during class on March 20th.
