Oh, how my heart aches for these two books. Whether you're a poetry fanatic or not, these magnificent pieces of work will draw you in. Well, for me they most definitely did!

The comparison between the two? Love & Misadventure contains short poetic verses where as Lullabies also contains poetry but a larger body of beautifully written short stories. 

Lang Leav has such an essence with the flow of words leaving you breathless with each verse. She has a remarkable ability to see underneath her readers - through mind and soul.

It's quite difficult to explain. I just cannot find the correct words to prove the books justice. Here is a taste of two of my favorite pieces from both Love & Misadventure and Lullabies. 

"It was a question I had word on my lips for days - like a loose thread on my favorite sweater I couldn't resist pulling - despite knowing it could all unravel around me.

'Do you love me?' I ask.

In your hesitation, I found my answer."

"I don't know if he truly loves me- how can I be sure exactly? I can't say with any conviction that he won't break my heart - but how could I have stopped him from taking what was already his? He swept in like a Tsunami, wave after wave and I didn't stand a chance. All those warnings, all the things they tried to prepare me for- lost in an instant to the enormity of what I felt."
