Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again - Andrea Barber
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle

I received a copy of this book through Goodreads, in exchange for an honest review.

A well-written, honest, inspiring, and entertaining memoir that gives a look at Barber's experiences with acting, fame, anxiety, divorce, motherhood, and life.

Throughout the book, Barber discusses her passion and talent for writing. This really shows in the book. The narration instantly pulls the reader in and she does a fantastic job crafting the stories of her life. I could definitely see Barber continuing a writing career.

As someone who casually watched Full House as a kid, but hadn't yet started Fuller House, I was interested in seeing an inside perspective on the whole phenomenon. I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting I found this book and how much I enjoyed it. It is easy to connect with Barber through the page because of her fantastic writing style.

While Barber deals with many heavy topics in this book, the overall tone is very positive. It emphasizes love, acceptance, and family, which ties in perfectly with the tones of Full(er) House. Even when writing about darker issues, Barber's positive perspective really shines through. She does not shy away from sharing her hardships, but emphasizes the light at the end and what she learned from the experience. I also thought she did a good job recognizing her privilege while still showing that she has struggled through various stages of life like any other person. A wonderful read.

As I was reading, the desire to watch Fuller House hit to see Barber's references first-hand. The nostalgia of watching the show as a kid came out and now I found a feel-good show that I really enjoy.

This was a great read that showcases Barber's talent for writing, her humor, and her mature and developed perspective on life. A remarkable book.

The Great Change - White Deer of Autumn

The Great Change by White Deer of Autumn is a Native American Indian tale; a grandmother explains the meaning of life and death to her granddaughter. Nine-year-old Wanba has many questions about why things have to die. Her grandmother says that like a caterpillar changing into a majestic butterfly everything in our lives evolves with time. I think this story would be great to keep in my classroom library for students who are interested in Native American Indian tales. I believe the metaphors used within the book could also help students understand the life cycle of various animals.

Charlotte's Web
Charlotte's Web - Garth Williams,E.B. White,Kate DiCamillo

Lexile Level: 680L

 

Wilbur the pig is born a runt, and the farmer decides he must face the axe.Fern steps in and saves him. She cares for the little pig, who later goes to a nearby farm. Wilbur discovers that his fate has been set for him. Horrified, he talks to a spider named Charlotte and she decides to try to help the pig out to save his life. The story is one of friendship, loyalty, and self-sacrifice. 

I would read this to older grades to show that the passing of time  has to happen so that life can go on, but with friendship and love and that the life was meant for something to help everyone you can.

Life In The Second Circle - Poems
Life In The Second Circle - Poems - Michael Cantor This is actually 2.5 stars, Thirty something poems and I found what I liked and counted with one hand and don't need a pinky finger.

Wendy Videlock says on the back cover "This is not your mother's book of poems." I can see why since some of these poems about pimps, Whores, sexual activities. But to much story poetry for me. I like the surreal stuff. my favorites below.

-Freshly Shaved and Barbed We'll
-Ceremonies
-Prologue
-Retired, and Living in Seclusion near Las Vegas
