Atticus, who is the internationally bestselling author of Love Her Wild, recently released, The Dark Between Stars, a new collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems. Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of his nearly 700k followers (including stars like Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys),with his beautifully raw and descriptive poems and continues to stun poetry lovers with his latest release. 

Everything about The Dark Between Stars is thoughtfully crafted, from the enchanting cover art to the beautiful photographs that accompany the poems fittingly. I'm a recent convert to poetry myself. I've been writing my own poems for quite some time, but never actually read poetry in general. I decided that I needed to change that and broaden my horizons, not to mention my understanding of the genre, earlier this summer. So I'm still fairly new to poetry, but I've caught on fast to what works for me and what doesn't. Atticus' poetry works for me. I love it. I find it relatable, whimsical, dreamy, and beautiful. 

This collection of poetry is divided into three sections: Stars, Between, and The Dark. I devoured this book in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down. The poems spoke to my soul.

​ I particularly loved this poem: 
                                       "She was powerful

                                                not because she wasn't scared
                                              but because
                                          she went on so strongly
                                                     despite the fear."
 

I highly recommend this collection. You can get it here.

At Home In The World by Tsh Oxenreider- Book Feature

I just finished reading a wonderful little memoir about a family of five who take a year off to travel the world. At Home in the World: Reflections on Belonging While Wandering the Globe is written by Tsh Oxenreider, author of Notes From A Blue Bike. Tsh takes the reader on a wonderful, inspiring journey, painting a vivid story through observations, smells, tastes, and more.
​
Americans Tsh and Kyle met and married in Kosovo. They lived as expats for most of a decade, until they had to move back to the States for health reasons. Though they had lived in the US for four years, they still had that ever present feeling of wanderlust, but was traveling really possible with three children? Why not? The kids were all old enough to carry their own backpacks but still young enough to be uprooted.

At Home in the World follows their journey from China to New Zealand, Ethiopia to England, and more. They traverse bumpy roads, stand in awe before a waterfall that feels like the edge of the earth, and chase each other through three-foot-wide passageways in Venice. And all the while Tsh grapples with the concept of home, as she learns what it means to be lost, yet at home, in the world.

This would be a wonderful Spring/Summer read, a book you can take to the beach or sit on the back porch and read. Whether you’re an avid traveler or someone who just likes to read about other people’s travels, this is the book for you! ;)
