Hey everyone and how's it going? I know it's been a while since I've last posted anything on here. But, I'm back and I'm here to bring to you all a book review yay!!! (Side note: be expecting a lot of reviews lol!) Today I am reviewing for you all "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. This book has been on the ...
Beautifully written, honest, and heart wrenching.The candor with which Strayed chronicles her experience of loss and grief is at times ugly and unflattering. But even though my life is drastically different from the one that she narrates, I see a lot of myself in her. Reading this memoir was a humbl...
Wild was a book that had been on my tbr pile for a while, so when I heard that the author was coming to our local Lit Fest, this seemed the perfect time to pick it up and read it. I don't know quite what I was expecting, but it was not a memoir about hiking for three months across gruelling terrain ...

I read this book for "Main Street Station". It was recommended by BrokenTune, and it was such a great recommendation! I had heard a lot about this book and about the movie (that I have to watch now that I finished the book). There is an episode of Gilmore Girls were Lorelai attempt to do "Wild". I...
This book touched me a lot. The author is very straightforward about everything. She has a difficult time and makes her way through it, but it isn't like it was so hard until she conquered it into honey and rainbows. She struggles the whole book. She acknowledges the good and bad parts of hersel...
I both enjoyed and loathed this book. I enjoyed the exploration of the wilderness. I despised Cheryl. She was as dislikable as Eat Pray Love. She is a girl with everything before her, all sorts of potential. But when her mother dies she just goes into an unexplained self-destructive spiral. She ruin...
I really regret that I listened to the nay-sayers and put this book off for SO long. Ridiculous. A few of them really turned out to be shamers, which is awful and sad. I really wish I could find the review I read that said Wild (Strayed, 2012) was a drug and sex filled orgy. The hell?!? Yes, both ar...
I'm in the middle of rereading Tiny Beautiful Things but needed something I could read on my breaks at work so I picked up Wild. Someone told me the book is too much about Strayed (possibly my favorite comment about a memoir ever). Someone else told me there's a lot of sex (Strayed self-describes ...
Cheryl Strayed is a sentence. It’s her name, but she chose it, saying “Cheryl strayed.” She identified with her various transgressions or wanderings-off so deeply that when she got divorced she picked this past tense verb for a last name. The past tense is important. Even when she writes about the p...
