My Life in Plants: Flowers I've Loved, Herbs I've Grown, and Houseplants I've Killed on the Way to Finding Myself by Katie Vaz
emotional
lighthearted
fast-paced
3.0
Take away: Mixed feelings. I picked this book because it fit into the FAH reading challenge (a book with a plant on the cover) and it was short. I assumed the author was a horticulturist or similar, someone who spent her life around plants, but Ms. Vaz is a graphic designer and plants have occasionally and casually appeared in her life. That's okay, I guess.
Ms. Vaz is only in her thirties and this is written as a memoir. My advice, come back in forty years with the more to tell us. You're off to a good start, but you're too young to impart wisdom on the masses.
The print edition has drawings, so listening without benefit of the illustrations probably diminished my experience.
Narration: Taylor Meskimen - Surprisingly good, a tad whiny but I would seek out some of her other work.

Listening to this book was a chore.
I'm glad I listened to this book.
I didn't want this book to end.
I could not wait to be done with this book.
Average, but better than anything I've written.
