I was provided an advanced copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, thank you to #netgalley for sending me this ARC this review contains only my own thoughts and criticism.

What a fantastic book! It was a great experience for me to read this book because it is so heartwarming and inspirational. The book is a real eye-opener and made me feel that I'm not alone in this world. Sometimes we break, and that's okay. The author's word choice is beautiful and I honestly love it. The idea of women standing shoulder to shoulder, cherishing our powers is brilliant. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because I have a huge TBR list this month, so I want to leave some space for other books.

To sum it up, I really liked this book and I recommend it to all the poetry lovers out there. You are going to love it.

I have been a fan of Tanya Markul's book. The fist book of the The She Book is absoluteluy lovely. Every pages is perfect, a poignant verses and absolutely moving. Markul's spot in poetry community will never fade and i know that she will continue to share beautiful poems to the people who always support her.

I wish I had of read the first book in this series as I absolutely loved this one.


Very empowering as a young woman reading it I enjoyed it thoroughly and will absolutely recommend it to customers.

Unable to download before archived as my tablet was damaged and I had been unable to afford a new one until recently. Apologies.

Poet Tanya Markul comes back with a sequel to her first poetry book The She Book with V.2! She continues in this poetry series to use emotional pain to create powerful and inspiring imagery about surviving dark times and finding our place and strength in this world. Here’s one such poem:

“Hey, mermaid,
Life is either
a water drop
or an ocean
depending on
the depth of
your courage.”
- Tanya Markul (one hundred forty-two)

She seeks a common connection with the reader by pouring her heart and soul out with vulnerability onto the pages and showing that we don’t suffer alone, even in our darkest most seemingly imperfect moments. She shows through her words that we are all resilient. If she is able to heal and emerge stronger by embracing the power within, we can take this step to join her as well. Here is a poem from the book that illustrates this:

“She laughs.
She growls.
She dances outside the tent.
She’s a sip of moonlight
part wolf
and a whole lot of magic.”
- Tanya Markul (one hundred fifty-seven)

It’s a journey through darkness where the author valiantly leads us out to the other end with words to deeply move and encourage us and remind us she is walking right beside us through this crazy adventure we call life.

Thanks to Netgalley, publisher and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think downloading this was an accident bc i hated the first one but maybe i wanted to give the second one a chance? Well i regret it. I gave up after 40 pages bc it’s just not worth my time.

I thought this was a great poetry collection about women finding their way out of the pain and creating a revolution. There was so much power in Tanya's words about the patriarchy and the past. Women must ban together to create a new life through the stories of their pain.

I enjoyed that Tanya talked about the painful stories and pushed the idea of the importance of banning together as women to become this powerhouse that has become anew after all the pain they have dealt with.

"These pages describe how she survived the furthest depths of her personal darkness."

The tips for how to use the contents in this book was a nice beginning part of the book.

This was an okay read much like The Sheered Book v.1 was. Some of the poems felt choppy to me. It was like 2 different poems pasted together into 1 and it didn't flow properly.

Synopsis: A book of inspiring, motivating prose, poems and quotes for womanhood. This is a collection of feelings of all types a girl goes through in life at one point or the other to become a Women.
Personally, it was my first poetry pick which happened to disappoint me. I just don’t think this poetic take was right for me. But I recommend it to any girl who is shy and introvert as she will definitely find solace in it. It has some very touching and beautiful quotes that really touch you on many deeper levels.

Thank you #netgalley for the #arc in return for an honest review!!

If you want to pick up a book that will reach deep into your soul and both poke and caress your deepest pain, this is it. This is the book that beautifully encompasses what it means to heal from hurt, to find yourself, to be authentic, and it does so in unbelievable, gorgeous poetry. Highly recommend for anyone, especially anyone going through a challenge or transition or coming to a place of peace with their story.

The She Book v.2 is raw and powerful.
Tanya Markul shares her life while offering advice throughout. Embrace yourself, take care of yourself, support those around you, and allow yourself to be supported in return. A stunning, heartfelt collection full of emotion and admissions of failures but the strength to get back up and keep trying. Markul says “she writes for the ‘rejected ones’ and to ‘revolutionize pain’” and I think she did a stunning job of displaying that skill.
I have not read the first volume of The She Book but I’ll be sure to fix that soon enough.

The She Book v.2 written by Tanya Markul is one of the best poetry collections I've read in a long time, as expected from Andrews McMeel Publishing. It's just so raw, deep, and personal, I cannot put into words how much I've enjoyed reading this book. I'm almost graduating (and these have been such stressful times), yet I found an escape while reading this book. Rating: 4/5 stars.

Dark, honest, raw, and beautiful. poetry is definitely a hit or miss for me but i really enjoyed this one. thank you to netgalley and to the publisher for the advanced copy. i would love to check out the v.1!

Powerful! Poignant! Strong! Passionate!
When I read, The She Book v. 2 by Tanya Markul, I found a new voice of empowerment. The strength of her words has the ability to lift up, to edify. Her words were steeped in reality, no holds barred.

I would reccomend this book to any woman that feels unheard. You are not alone.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Tanya Markul for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for sending me a copy of this book.

This is a beautiful and thought provoking collection of poetry. I enjoyed every bit of it.

I was kindly gifted this eARC in return for an honest review from the publisher via NetGalley.

This collection of poetry and prose is the second in the collection from Markus, in a modern (even Instapoet) form. I have not read the first, yet this book has tempted me into buying volume 1. Like most good poetry, it portrays themes of loss, pain and heartbreak. However, it also shares themes of healing and moving on. Which most women may find empowering (I say women as most of the poems seem to mainly be aimed at females). One negative I had on the book was the constant mention of sharing your ‘story’. It ended up becoming quite tedious. Maybe using a synonym for the word ‘story’ would have made it slightly easier to get through. That being said, I enjoy how the book encourages you to share your life with the world and move on from what has hurt you in the past.

Maybe I just did not relate to this poetry book.
I usually enjoy reading these but this one did not resonate.
Read like a diary than something to learn from or be inspired from.

Review:
"Generous was this passing death.
Praise be the person I was
as I gasp life into
the warrior
I now am."
This book is a collection of beautiful poetries, prose and quotes about surviving the dark times of one's life. As the title suggests, it's about "she" about self-help, self-care and self-healing.
"When I lose grace,
I remember the rain
and how she falls
with faith every time"
Intriguing, which gets the reader's attention and help them understand themselves better. The poems potray the struggles of woman through self abuse, violence, and identifying oneself. It also shows the difference forms of woman, as a girl, as a sister, as a mother, as a daughter and as a woman herself. An inspiring and empowering set of words which strengthens us from within.
"Cause the world
is hungry
for all
you’ve got"
Honest and captivating, though cliche. I felt broken and sad while reading those poems. An amazing book for poetry lovers.

I really enjoyed this collection of poetry in this book, I gave it a four out five stars. I connected to some of it and just really enjoyed it. I liked it a little more than the first volume. I would like to buy myself a copy once I get the chance. I will be recommending to other poetry lovers.
