could definitely see myself going through this one year, after year, after year, The illustrations are EVERYTHING props to whoever made them, I think this book would be a perfect gift for a friend or to keep on your coffee table top simply because any page you turn to is so cuteI think some of the “inspo” were longer than most would like but I think it was a good read overall and really reminded me of the joy in small things and to be more mindful of the present moment instead of mindlessly scrolling all the time This is one of those books to hang on to.
Ms. Perez shares her ideas and wisdom in lovely little doses that should be readministered from time to time,/stars!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley, All thoughts and opinions are my own,
This book has a lot of inspirational messages that everyone can find really helpful in their lives, I loved the colors and illustrations accompanying the messages, The messages are too long for my taste, but that's just a preference of mine and I acknowledge that it might be endearing to other readers, A nice book to remind ourselves of the little things in life and be inspired again, First and foremost, I would like to thank my best friend for gifting me this,
As you can see, it did take me some months to finish this book entirely,
However, I don't think it matters how long it takes to finish this book because it's not meant to be read as a novel, The book has taken me to new insights of life, and all that through simple language, The graphics are more than lovely, which has given me inspiration as well,
Ashly has moved me nearly to tears, yes, such an inspiration, The concept of many things put together into this book were great, It was an easy read, and enough to spark inspiration that was there all along,
Finally, I've marked this book as read, Although, I'm sure to come back to it as much as whenever the time comes,
Highly recommend this! A former BuzzFeed author shares her favorite inspirational posts shes written, in an attempt to get us to put down our phones, and look for inspiration elsewhere! With the current state of social media making more and more people depressed, I think this book is timely and I loved the snippets! The art is great too! My only complaint is that the cover art, or lack thereof, doesnt fit with all of the art inside.
If youre looking for a light inspirational read, check this out, Shortpage stories make this book easy to pick up and put down when necessary! I love rainbow colors, so this book grabbed me when I saw the title: "Read This for Inspiration" was in different colors on the spine.
All the illustrations are just so happy and fabulous, From the very beginning, the author sets the rules on how readers can read this book: all at once or pick it up anytime, I also love how the author weaves in personal stories, Read this book for the inspiration you need,
If you would like to hear my interview with the author, go to my podcast at: sitelink com/transcript/ash This is a nice little book to pick up here and there when you just want a little something different to think about, It is fun and different and thought provoking, I think some of the anecdotes got a bit repetitive and were a bit of a stretch toward the end it just couldve been a bit shorter I think but overall an uplifting and nice book that i would recommend! It looks very cute as a display piece too once youre done reading.
We all need to "fill our bucket" occasionally, and keeping in mind poignant and memorable moments can often help us figure out critical junctures in our life, inspiration to continue striving for creative impetus, and for some of us, some of the time, reminders that you want to live another day I have suffered from depression since like, so.
. . it happens. Ashly Perez has put together a thoughtful, colorful book, with each anecdote or idea generally taking up onlypages, This book can be read from starttofinish, as I did, since I was kindly provided a copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, Or it can be pulled off of your bookshelf at moments when you are feeling uninspired, and you can idly flip through pages and look for one or a few pieces of inspiration based on the colors that catch your eye that day, or the page number that corresponds to your lucky number, or whatever method floats your boat.
The only fault with this book isn't really a fault with the book, at all it is that, a book full of inspirational aphorisms feels like something that should be individualized.
Ashly is vulnerable and has put together what I think is an inspirational collection where at least parts will likely strike a cord within most readers, Yet, overall, putting together a collection of pictures, memories, sayings, observed celebrity interactions that cause you to think, "I need to start working on my novel again" seems like an idea that you should attack/create for yourself.
If you abhor crafting/scrapbooking/journaling, and simply put, will not create your own book of inspiration but want to be inspired, this book was well done, and can certainly help you fill your bucket.
First book ofcompleted and it did not disappoint, I want to make an effort in reading more books about positivity and how to better yourself, I hope Ashly writes another book like this, It inspired me to make a little journal of every thing inspirational Ive come across in books, television, magazines etc,
I recommend! I firmly believe that if you can take one little nugget out of a book it was worth the read, In this case, you get plenty of inspirational nuggets! Serious, Fun. Straightforward. Eclectic. This book has something for everyone, Sometimes you just need a different perspective to lighten your mood and spur you on to the next big or little! thing, Read one idea or many, It just takes a spark!

staring at your phone. While the wisdom is nothing new, its delivered in a great way that I thoroughly enjoyed, Now that I finished it, Im a bit sad it wont be here to greet me each morning with a little cheer and advice, If you are a fan of graphic design or illustration or know someone who is, this book would make a great gift as well, Ahhh, this tiny book is a gem!

كتاب بهدف التشجيع بالكثير من الألوان البراقة والمقاطع القصيرة والجمل "الملهمة". الكتاب من تأليف إحدى كاتبات موقع "بازفيد" المشهور ولذا يبدو واضحا عليه الرغبة في الإلهام وجذب الانتباه ولكنه للأسف لا يعلق في الذهن بمجرد الانتهاء من الكتاب. ولقلة الكلام فيه فلا أجدني أنصح أحد بشرائه طالما بوسعه قراءته بوسيلة أخرى سواء باستعارته أو بشرائه مخفضا. لا أنكر أن بعض المقاطع كانت مشجعة وقت القراءة ولكن بعد مرور يوم من قراءته لا أجدني أتذكر شيئا مما كتب فيه.
This is a self motivation book with a lot of bright colors and very little texts and some quotes that are meant to inspire, Being written by a former Buzzfeed writer, they are catchy, but most of them aren't that memorable, and it being so bitesized, I wouldn't recommend buying the book if you could read through a library or on discount.
It's nice and uplifting at the moment, but it doesn't leave any longlasting effects,
I thank Netgaley for the digital ARC, Loved everything about this book, It was a gift from my daughter, She knows I love inspirational books and also great looking books! Its colourful, interesting and thought provoking and helpful, Cant wait for more from this author! its cute, pretty, delightful and inspiring all at once, I am definitely loving the illustrations in the book along with every bit of wholesome personal stories/reflections that author learnt from and sharing them with the readers, Some clicked with me and letting it sit with me throughout, this may not be a one time read cause we could always go back in any pages for the moment we want to be motivated or inspired.
I loved this book of daily inspiration! I enjoyed reading it each day and wish there was another volume, . Not sure what I'm going to read next that's like it, Ive chosen not to give this book a definite rating, As someone in theirs, this is a pretty standard millennial selfhelp type book but with really cute illustrations!, Ashly shares little tidbits of advice a lot of which was passed down to her by others, For me at this age, the info is nothing novel, but I think that it would be perfect for someone in their late teens to midtwenties! Sometimes the perfect book
comes along at the perfect time.
I'd been picking away at this one, reading a page here, a page there, savoring it, . . but tonight I straightup binged the whole lot, even revisiting pages I'd already read, And I'm SO glad I did, I've been going through a pretty major life crisis lately, The sort where I can't eat or sleep and feel a gnawing in my gut almost constantly, Aand have been feeling beyond awful, Ashley Perez's helpful, hopeful words on life and love and struggle and heartbreak and everything in between were exactly what I needed tonight, This book wasn't a miracle cure by any means, but it was a soothing balm for a broken heart, Thank you, Ashley. Thank yourounded up. The key word in the title is “simple” this collection of encouragements is veryyy much so, at times almost feeling like more like a collection of Hallmark card inscriptions or quotes from a pageaday calendar.
None of its bad, but rather just barely touches on a topic before moving on, Its rather unsatisfying for me personally, although if someone just wanted a bunch of quippy bits of “hashtag inspo” this would fit the bill just fine, If I could give itstars, I would, This will sit on my shelf forever and I will go back to it always, I absolutely loved this book! Ashly is honest and witty, funny I'm blunt, I believe that you always find the book that you need at the moment you need it, I have at least seven people that I want to buy a copy of this book for and I want to sit down and make them read it, read every damn page.
This might be my go to book for graduation gifts this year, What a great piece of work! Beautiful, colorful, and full of very very good thoughts, love love love. i don't always like reading books set up in little snippets like rigid but i really enjoyed it and i learned a lottttt also very cute and pretty and pleasing to look at From former BuzzFeed personality Ashly Perez comes a funny, honest, and unabashedly feminist book of inspiration and wisdom to help you plant some roots, live in the process, and accept you for you.
