Wow. Wow is my first reaction after finishing Spare by Prince Harry. I've never followed the Royal Family very close. I knew Prince Harry and Prince William were in my age group so I was aware of them growing up. Aware of the tragedy they had gone through losing their mother. But at the same time, I was not aware of how things were for them solely because they were born into the Royal Family. To say the British press is horrible is putting it lightly. The British press is toxic, vicious, ...

Scratch and Draw Botanicals by Zoe Ingram
We are a family that spends a fair amount of time on art projects. We love coloring and painting, anything that lets our artistic side out. But I had never seen a book like this before!
