The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Pretty straightforward life advice book. There were moments that were insightful and helpful.
The biggest takeaway is that you need to remind yourself that you can’t control others. She suggests saying “let them (add in whatever they are doing here)” and then following that up by saying “let me (and making a decision about how you can take action)”.
She added some helpful research around how to influence and help others. As well as, how to decrease your own stress levels.

Really wonderful adaptations of all the Brontë works! A great way to get invested in these stories and authors. It was fun to revisit each novel with such great casts. Highly recommend.

I read this out loud to my daughters, 5 and 7 years old. They laughed, they love the characters and the illustrations. This series is clever, fun and entertaining. Not only do they love reading the books, but then they jump in and also become princesses who fight monsters! The bunnies in this book were especially funny for my kids, lots of giggles!

Very cute adaptation of Pride & Prejudice! The author describes it as a Jane Austen novel with an Agatha Christie twist and that is an exact description of the book. Definitely planning on reading the other books in the series!
