Quick Summary:


Another great book recommended to me by my therapist. This book is really well researched and insightful into the three types of attachment styles that adults have in romantic relationships. The three attachment styles are anxious, avoidant, and secure. It is easy to read and understand with plenty of examples throughout the book. If you are looking for why your relationships might be struggling, to understand why your partner reacts to you a certain way, and how you go about communicating in your relationship, I highly recommend this book. I have a better understanding of who I am and how I can work on improving myself for my family. 


The Review:


I am one of the lucky ones who didn’t read this book before being in a relationship and ended up with a stellar husband that has a secure attachment style. Unlike my partner, I have an anxious attachment style. The book highly recommended finding a match with a secure attachment to have a solid relationship. I am lucky to have a partner that can help calm down my anxious attachment quirks by simply being his best self around me. 


Now, I will say that at times while reading I noticed quite a bit of bias. It felt like secure attachments were put on a very high pedestal and they could do no wrong. If they are like my hubs, then secures tend to be very levelheaded, comfortable and happy in their relationship, and a calm reactor. In a couple of examples, the writers did mention that secures could lose their temper (because they are human after all), but it really talked up how great secures were. The book highlighted that anyone with an insecure attachment (anxious or avoidant) should aim to be with a secure. 


I also felt that avoidants were given a bad rap throughout the book and were made to be the worst of the three attachment styles. There were points when I was reading that I felt the book encouraged the other two attachment styles to stay away from avoidants. I’m not an avoidant, but I did feel kind of sad for them because everyone deserves love. The book did explain how to try to combat the natural ways of avoidant tendencies and become better at your relationship. 


As for the anxious, we tend to be portrayed as a victim whenever in a relationship with an avoidant and our behaviors are tied to our anxious ways. Attached. mentioned many times how the anxious group should have grace for themselves. It felt like the anxious attachments had the most to gain in understanding our ways by reading this book. Apparently about 50% of the population has a secure attachment style while avoidants and anxious attachments make up 25% each. If you are unsure which attachment style you are, there is a quiz on page 40-43 to help guide you. If you are trying to figure out what your partner’s attachment style is, check out pages 52-60.


As an anxious, I learned a lot about myself and how to combat my natural tendencies and behaviors. I struggle with understanding why Tim loves me, why he would stay with me when there are plenty of other people who are better in so many ways than I am, I think about my relationships a lot, I’m sensitive to Tim’s moods, I want closeness in a relationship, I worry about rejection, and I have a hard time not making things about myself. This last one is important for me to explain. I think about Tim and how I can be better for him throughout the day. When he is upset in some way, my brain jumps to what did I do to cause it. This book pointed out my insecurities and how to work through that process by talking about what is going on with Tim instead of jumping to conclusions about what I did wrong and assuming the worst. The book mentioned how we should assume the best when thinking about outcomes.


It was crazy to think about when Tim and I started dating (almost 11 years ago!) and how my anxious tendencies were through the roof. To be fair, we were both new to relationships and were young and dumb. There were a couple of times that my attachment style was a problem, and we almost broke up. There were also times that Tim’s immaturity almost drove me to break up with him. But we talked things out and explained what was happening in our heads and learned that communicating was really what we both needed. We were both scared about how the other would react to the choices we were making as individuals instead of a couple. When Tim and I moved in together, my anxious tendencies calmed down because I knew at the end of the day, I would get to spend time with him and have my anxieties calmed. Our relationship started to flourish quickly. I wish I would have read this book while in those early days as it would have saved us both a lot of frustration. I am so lucky and happy that Tim and I were able to work out our quirks and grow together. 


This book was well written and a great read if you are an anxious or secure person! I will give it a 4/5. However, if you are avoidant, I would search for another book that would explain your tendencies without making you feel like you are the problem. 


IN CONCLUSION, READ THE FRACKING BOOK (if you are secure/anxious)!

Haunted French Quarter Hotels by Nicole Beauchamp

Quick Summary:


Are you looking for a fun, eerie book for this spooky season? Look no further than Haunted French Quarter Hotels. This book is a paranormal and historical read about ghostly happenings in New Orleans, Louisiana. America is full of cool history and stories. But New Orleans? That’s where history comes to life because of the ghosts. Don’t believe in them? I dare you to stay several nights at any of these hotels! 


The Review:


Haunted French Quarter Hotels has a little something for everyone! It has paranormal hauntings and historical stories of ownership and culture! It indulges in music history, landmarks, and architecture. Most importantly it includes eyewitness accounts of ghostly encounters which all combines into a unique and fascinating type of read.


I read each chapter with enthusiasm and excitement. I would start by of course googling the place and checking out the outside of the building, rooms, courtyards, and lobby. After investigation, I looked at the pictures of the chapter and read the captions. I LOVE A BOOK WITH PICTURES! It confirmed what I had investigated on my own and made me want to read the chapter more. I indulged in the reading after that, and hung on almost every word, not wanting to miss anything!


My two favorite chapters were the Clean Beds, Dread, and Bloodshed and Bidding Adieu to Little Boy Blue. I am a huge fan of American Horror Story: Coven since it came out. It is probably my favorite season of AHS. When I saw the picture at the end of Clean Beds, I became excited because I wanted to know more about the Axeman since he was so elusive. When I finished that chapter, I realized I was left with quite a few new questions, while some of my old ones were answered. In Bidding Adieu, the picture on page 109 with the chef and the apparition of the little girl was stunning. I stared at that picture for quite some time trying to debunk it. However, I could not with the information given and no actual picture. She is kind of transparent as you can still see what is behind her. She is in period clothing. I don’t know anything of the source that had taken the photo. There is a bit of skepticism, but man is it so cool. 


The chapter that tore my soul out of my heart was Shadows of Suffering. The practice of slavery and the dehumanization of blacks is gut wrenching. I sometimes think of when teaching middle school, I couldn’t go into the depths of how gruesome slavery really was without feeling like I might break my kids. I feel like slavery was glazed over when I was in school and it was something that happened in the past and that’s where it stays. However, it’s not. To really understand American History, we must understand how whites treated Blacks and Black slaves. Blacks and African Americans were tortured, murdered, raped, and had their families torn apart. Some of this history is in this chapter. Even people like the Quakers who believed that Blacks should be free, could not understand the pain that the white community inflicted on a race of people. Because of this treatment in the past, there are racial tensions in America today. 


This book was well written, researched, and quite a great read for this spooky season! I will give it a 5/5. Now I just need to go and purchase the author’s other books!


IN CONCLUSION, READ THE FRACKING BOOK!


I received this from Arcadia Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

The Wanderer by Mika Waltari

Thank you for reading, sharing, and becoming a part of this reading community!


Quick Summary:


The Wanderer is a historical fiction novel following the life of a former church scholar/trying to practice doctor named Michael. However, this is part two of the duo of books (please see The Adventurer by Mika Waltari here: https://treatyoshelfbookreviews.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-adventurer-by-mika-waltari.html) who becomes a slave to Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire specifically in Turkey. It picks up right where we left off in The Adventurer during the mid 1520s. There is still plenty of political intrigue (especially with the Ottoman Empire which I knew very little of), religious fascination, more inequality (rich/poor, men/women, unequal statuses), strong friendships, and a thrilling ending. 


The Review:


I know I said that reading about Medieval times wasn’t exciting to me, but I had a pretty good time reading this book. I did struggle with the history because I hadn’t learned about much of it until this read. But the religion, the chess game of politics and social structure, and the relationships between people were fantastically written. 


If you haven’t read The Adventurer, I suggest you discontinue reading here. The history was interesting. I did struggle with understanding how some countries and leaders made the choices they did and to whom they were aligned with, but the culture, the people, and the history was interesting. I will probably have to reread The Wanderer after I educate myself more on some of the people and events that occurred in the book. It is amazing to think about how there is so much history in the whole world, that it is hard to say I’m a historian without adding to what era or country you are referring to. I am an educated historian, but I don’t know much of this history. Therefore, I found it rather engaging and intriguing to where I wanted to ask so many questions while reading, but I didn’t want to take away from the story by diving down a rabbit hole of information. So be warned, if you don’t know much about the Ottoman Empire or this period of time, I would recommend reading about the leaders of the area and how they interacted with each other. Some of the locations that were visited were Istanbul, Buda, Algiers, and Tunis. 


The politics within the Ottoman Empire were engaging, while the politics of the world were less interesting to me. It always amazes me at how much is needed to control and satisfactorily run a country (or empire in this case). As a ruler, there needs to be order and Sultan Suleiman ruled by the Qur'an as well as laws that the empire had established. If a slave (anyone who works for the Sultan) brought dishonor to the Sultan, they were either killed or asked to commit suicide. I was amused at how the Sultan, the Grand Vizier (his right-hand man), the Sultan’s wife, Michael, Michael’s wife, and Mustafa ben-Nakir were constantly conniving to vie for power in some way to the Sultan while the Sultan was trying to build a larger empire. I was consistently playing chess with all the players, the reasons for why they did things, and the outcomes that would likely occur. 


It was captivating to read about how anyone could become a slave to the Sultan in some form, but most of the slaves were governed by different viziers. In American history, slavery is something that was beyond traumatic, violent, and awful (I’m always at a loss of words to bring justice to those forced into slavery in America). Slavery in many different places was quite different. It wasn’t always better, don’t get me wrong, but slavery of Africans and Blacks in America was a true evil. Being a slave of the Sultan was not always a bad gig (unless something went wrong). The higher status slaves of the Sultan were treated well, given lavish presents, and had more freedoms than if they were the slave of an individual. Michael was given a home on the Bosphorus, he was gifted many items including gold and a salary, he was given a job, and he had many slaves himself. I don’t think slavery in any form is okay, however, I did learn quite a bit about social status of the following: ruler, officials to the ruler, military, mutes, eunuchs, slaves, and women. Until I taught social studies to 7th graders, I wasn’t really interested in social hierarchy. However, my mind has now acquired a how to read historical and historical fiction texts quality and I feel like I gravitate towards that information. 


The relationships were engaging. I loved Andy and Michael’s brotherly relationship, the Sultan and Grand Vizier Ibrahim, and the relationship between Grand Vizier Ibrahim to Michael. They were intriguing and masterfully fun. Andy and Michael certainly act like brothers. They fight together, live together, care for each other, guide each other, and love each other even through their faults. Suleiman and Ibrahim, too, are not brothers by blood, but by friendship and circumstance. And the loyalty that is shown to Suleiman by Ibrahim was amazing and heartwarming. As well as the loyalty from Michael to Ibrahim. All of them knew what they must sacrifice for the future. Brotherhood was a strong symbol throughout the book. 


I was not a fan of Guilia and Michael’s relationship. I did not care for Guilia since she entered the book. Michael’s taste in women was, questionable. Guilia was condescending, rude, a user, needy, and plain awful. Sometimes when I read Waltari’s books (I’ve read three now), I wonder if he has a thing against women because honestly, he writes women as if they are terrible humans. Cheaters, schemers, conniving, betraying, disloyal, condescending, controlling, assholes. And I can also say that about Sultana Khurrem (one of the Sultan’s wives). She was constantly scheming and trying to control the Sultan’s thoughts and the information given to him. 


This book was well written and researched with the historical information I learned on the spot and the ending was truly a satisfying end to this well-crafted duology! I will give it a 4.2/5. 


IN CONCLUSION, READ THE FRACKING BOOK!

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

Review by: Samantha M. Siciliano

Hey friends! First, before you read this fun review, I would love if you could push the blue follow button to the right of this review, maybe even add your email address to get updates, and share with a friend you think may enjoy this (or on your social media of choice)! I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for reading, sharing, and becoming a part of this reading community!


Quick Summary:


Hidden Pictures is a fabulous fictional, mysterious, thriller that will make you want to speedily turn each page! I did not see this book as a horror novel, but everyone is scared at different levels! Mallory Quinn is a former drug addict that is turning her life around. After getting clean, she is ready to take on more responsibility. She applies for a babysitting position, watching a 5 year old little boy named Teddy. However, Teddy spends time interacting with his imaginary friend which is not so imaginary.

 

The Review:


I try very hard to not let other reviews influence me before I read. I saw this book constantly popping up on my social psychological thriller feeds and I thought, “alright I need to know what the hype is about.” Now that being said, after reading I decided I would see what other people thought of the book and, well, it’s a mess! You have many readers and many different sites rating it as a must read of 2022. I’m only 3 years late to the party! But I agree with the masses. This book was a lot of fun to read and below you might see why. 


I could not get enough of this book! Every page I was trying to peek ahead to see what was going to happen. At the end of every chapter, I kept telling myself, this will be the last one and then I will go to sleep. I felt like a little kid staying up past her bedtime to figure out what on earth was happening! My husband may have complained a few times to put on my headphones and turn out the light so that he could sleep. Don’t worry, no husbands were harmed in any way during this reading! Jason did an amazing job writing this book and telling the story the way that he did. It was very creative. It was easy to read, it always kept me guessing and wanting more (even after I finished it), and the clues that I may have skimmed over, made complete sense once I finished the book.


The characters were so well written. Character development was superb. I think if Jason would have done any more character development, it would have honestly ruined the story. 


As Americans, we love an underdog story. That’s what Mallory is. A former addict, trying to live a healthier life and do the best she can. The whole time I kept thinking, I swear to goodness gracious if she is somehow the sketchy character, I’m going to be so mad. I mean, please don’t make the comeback kid the bad guy! But you will have to read the book to find out! The Maxwell family that Mallory babysits for consists of Caroline (mom), Ted (dad), Teddy (5 year old child), and Anya (the family ghost). Caroline is a dedicated VA psychologist. Ted works in some kind of tech world. Teddy is going to start Kindergarten in the fall. Caroline and Ted need someone to babysit him while they are at work in the meantime. This is where Mallory comes in. She ends up being the one hired, and Mallory moves into the beautifully redone, small cottage in the back yard. In my head, the Maxwell’s family is so carefully crafted. At one point while I was reading, I thought “wow, I wish I could be a part of this family.” 


Then there is Mitzi. Mitzi is the neighbor of the Maxwells. She is the crazy, old, racist, eccentric psychic that befriends Mallory. Mitzi is vital in helping Mallory by using her abilities to speak to the dead through a spirit board (Ouija Board). Of course, I cannot forget Adrian. What a supportive character (and boyfriend) he is to Mallory. He is totally relationship material, and he honestly reminded me of my husband when we first started dating. Super caring, super respectful, and super kind. I don’t really want to go into too much more detail of anyone, because I want the reader to experience the kind of interaction I did with each character.


Here's to the spoiler part of the review! Do NOT read if you want to go into this book as blindly as possible.


Now some of the most common complaints are that this book is racist, transphobic, fatphobic, and atheist hating. And to be honest, I read those complaints and was kind of aggravated by them. There is racism, I didn’t interpret any transphobia, fatphobia, or any atheist hating. I think what Jason was trying to write were fictional people that are flawed like living, breathing humans. 


Mitzi is racist. That is a common stereotypical trait of many older people. And hell, have you seen the America I am living in in 2025? There are racists everywhere, and not just in one age demographic. Would I have wished that Mallory would have corrected Mitzi when she was racist? Yes, I do. But that is just like real life. So many people will not say anything when a racist comment is said. They think comments but saying it out loud is a different story. That takes courage. And Mallory was someone who was kind of shy and didn’t want to start waves. Remember, she is brand new to this community. Making a good impression is important to her. I am not saying it is right, I am saying that I really think Jason was trying to show people are flawed. Mallory doesn’t think that way. You can hear her inner monologue. 


I understand where some readers could interpret this book as transphobic. However, the author wrote Teddy as a boy because the Maxwells were hiding Flora (the girl). They KIDNAPPED a girl and thought it would be much easier to hide a girl if they changed her to a boy. Now this is messed up for many reasons… first, they freaking kidnapped a child. Second, they forced a girl to be a boy. Now, if anyone listens to a truly transphobic asshole, they will say things like “their parents are forcing a child to change genders” or “parents won’t love their children unconditionally if they are a different gender than what the parents wanted.” This thinking process isn’t rational at all. These people make shit up to fit their belief and sometimes their religious ways. As my friend says, “you can’t fix stupid.” The Maxwells were forcing Flora to be a boy to conceal the fact that the adult Maxwells are kidnappers and murders. It is much easier to hide a girl by making them a boy, when the world is looking for a girl. It was not, in my opinion, because they wanted a boy. To all my trans friends out there I see you, I love you, I respect you and your journey. 


As for fatphobia, the only thing I can think of is when Mallory made a comment about her mother losing weight and how her mom had been fat because she was lazy when Mallory was living with her. There are two trains of thought I have. First, Mallory may have just been describing her mom. But secondly, if there was any malice in Mallory’s thinking, it may be because she felt like her mom abandoned her even after she had gotten clean. I don’t remember thinking anything about it. I am a heavier woman, and I don’t love the descriptor, but I mean it’s also a way to describe or distinguish me from other people. I believe Mallory was demonstrating about how her mom changed, as she had, over the years and had started taking care of herself. As for other characters, I can only think of Mallory using terms like slim or skinny or fit to describe other characters. 


Mallory is a religious woman. She goes to church, and she also goes to NA meetings which are usually held in church basements. The Maxwells are atheists and in their house rules, they ask Mallory to keep her religious beliefs as well any supernatural thoughts to herself. This was asked politely, and Mallory didn’t have a problem with that at all. Any parent has the right to ask a nanny to keep certain information to themselves and respect their rules. That comes with the territory. The Maxwells had reasons to hide religion and supernatural beliefs from Teddy because they want him to keep his mouth shut. They had reasons for being strict in their rules. They are trying to keep a very dark secret. This obviously wasn’t to protect Teddy, but to protect themselves.


This book was well written and a great page turner. It was one of those books that when I finished, I was going through everything that I had just read and piecing all the foreshadowing and clues that were within the book together. I will give it a 5/5. I may even pick this book up again in the future.


IN CONCLUSION, READ THE FRACKING BOOK!

Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect by Jonice Webb with Christine Musello

 Review by: Samantha M. Siciliano

Hey friends! First, before you read this fun review, I would love it if you could push the blue follow button to the right of this review, maybe even add your email address to get updates, and share with a friend you think may enjoy this (or on your social media of choice)! I would greatly appreciate it!


Also, below at the end of the article is a comment box! Feel free to leave comments, let me know what you loved about the book or the review, any questions you might have, or if you have something to add! I love learning and discussing books! Please be positive and friendly to our writers! Enjoy!


Thank you for reading, sharing, and becoming a part of this reading community!


Quick Summary:


I am constantly looking for ways to better myself and overcome my past. I saw this book on amazon and thought I would give it a try since I answered yes to 19/22 questions. My husband only answered 2/22 so he’s healthy in this case. If you are curious and want to see if this read might be good for you, here is the link to the questionnaire. Also, ask your therapist or doctor if this might be a good read for you.


https://drjonicewebb.com/emotional-neglect-questionnaire/ 


This book is set up in different sections so that you may easily skip to the ones that impact you the most, or if you are like me, read all of them anyway. The chapters that had the most impact on me were:

Chapter 2: Twelve Ways to End Up Empty

Chapter 3: The EN Child All Grown Up

Chapter 6: Why Feelings Matter and What to Do with Them

Chapter 7: Self Care 

These are not all the chapters, just the chapters that had the most impact on me. 


The Review:


First things first, although the world of psychology is developing and changing, the questionnaire I mentioned above as well as the concept of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) is not scientifically backed. Also, CEN is not in the DSM-V as of 7/30/2025. That does not make this any less real, it just needs more data and research and time to adapt to the world of psychology. Hell, it might even be proved wrong in the future, but no matter what I still learned some valuable information about myself by participating while I was reading. 


Now, when I started reading this, I immediately wanted to argue with the book and say things like “my adults did their best in this situation.” This is different from parents having a moment or dealing with a situation in their life that has rocked their world. Every parent is human, has their own emotions, and can’t hold it together all the time. That is impossible. But these moments should not happen over extended periods of time. (Again, losing a spouse, parent, child, having a chronically ill child, depression, there are just so many ways that can really impact a parent and throw them into a tailspin). But a kid needs help navigating those emotions, too. They deserve that time to help them grow and keep moving forward. 


Chapter 2 was about 12 ways to end up empty. According to Running on Empty, there are 12 different types of parents that can have an impact on their child. I hate to say that I “enjoyed” the vignettes (one or two per section) because those are real people who struggle with real problems, but they were refreshing to read not only to understand the parent, but to understand what to look for and see if an adult fit into that category. Each category is well explained, and I noticed that my adults fit into more than one category. 


Chapter 3 was the most impactful. This chapter focused on things adults may struggle with if they fit CEN. There were explanations of the 10 themes, vignettes of patients, and signs and signals of the 10 themes. I personally struggle with feelings of emptiness, counter dependence, no compassion for self but plenty for others, guilt and shame, self-directed anger, the fatal flaw, and a bit of alexithymia. This is a self-diagnosis, but it does demonstrate what I struggle with often. They are all things I am continuing to better myself; it tends to take patience and quite a bit of energy. I am not saying that I have diagnosed myself with CEN, I see some characteristics that I struggle with and have since middle school. 


Chapter 6 is about why feelings matter and what to do with them. My therapist and I have been doing emotional work for about 5 years now. Yea it’s a process. I remember when I first started seeing her and I would apologize for crying in her office, I would make jokes that were really degrading of myself, and I am still working on the fact that there is not a “bad” emotion… although I will argue that my anger and frustration are bad emotions! I also have an amazingly wonderful husband that is extremely patient with me and allows me to talk about whatever I am going through. He knows that this can be very difficult for me, and he is absolutely supporting in every way. Maybe it helps he was a psychology major? The major takeaway from this chapter was that emotions play an important role in helping us interpret and understand the world around us.

 

Everybody needs self-care! Say it with me! Chapter 7 is a must read for everyone. Yet another thing I have been working on for 5 years since apparently, I have neglected it most of my life. In all seriousness, I am taking time to figure out what I am interested in and developing those skills. If you would have asked me what I was interested in to relax 5 years ago I would have said the only answer I had: teaching. It was everything I ate, breathed, and lived. Being a bit of a perfectionist killed a lot of my free time with developing lessons and grading papers all the time. Now if you ask me what I am interested in I can say reading, listening to music, playing with my animals, painting, and annoying my hubs. That’s improvement. And since I have been losing weight, I want to add walks back into my routine.

 

This book was an easy read; I cannot say that it is backed research though. With many self-help books, there are things that I want to take and implement in my life and there are things that I want to leave with the book. Overall, I will give it a 3.9/5. 


IN CONCLUSION, READ THE FRACKING BOOK!
