Words from a Wanderer

If you follow her on social networks, there is absolutely no need to purchase the book. I am so mad I spent $10 on words that are already on her Instagram and Twitter account. While she is insightful, and beautifully expresses her ideas - 75% of the poems can be found on her social network accounts. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I started following the author on Instagram as a recommendation from a friend. Her posts are often very interesting. however, if you do follow her on her social networks, there isn't much need to buy the book. Her posts are pretty much from the book. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the life lessons and was particularly impressed considering she is only 23 years old. The title, however, does not relate to the book. But if you're into poetry, self-improvement, and love you'll likely enjoy this.

this was ok. not what I expected. Read the entire thing in under an hour. was hoping to get lost in it the way I like to do in my readings however I just kinda felt like I was reading someone's Facebook statues.

With Elle’s romance communication wet to the dry bone and cute summers rolled back in picture forms Elle looks from divided texts like a secretive business human in this collection’s self-preparation writs and hot a half-wild imagination suits her weathered tastes, I’ve dedicated myself in reading thus far, and a week ago I was bedazzled from her womanly claims that she must be pregnant when it happens and that all intentions are bad according to Elle. On the store’s Unlimited Kindle App Elle’s black and white literature stands out applying shredded trees in a kind of saturated work of art, myself clicking away on my phone to go through note after note of Elle’s conditioned freedom, 2 ½ inch pages rolling near my phone face and beginning the stormy tales back to my enthused consciousness. Freedom can’t exist without abstraction. Words bright with the shining sights, Elle participates in her proclamations which can be mixed up with others’ and designate her shrouded character of daily quips, but Elle reels up with some horrific sensations instead of waiting quietly in the dust. Elle pinpoints during modes of relaxation at past references and intrinsic emotions; she can smile faster than she can write even if it pains her at precious moments. She closes her book and stands debating whether her elapsed history is a fork or a knife; she gets aroused on the idea of having plenty of children with a gross metaphor being “seeds,” even if her past experiences wash out one passion for another. In fact, she’s a lady with lots of shades of so many colors: what happened in the past might startle her now. Great numbers of passions in her falling mind keep her in imaginary company even if citizens don’t always abide to each other, making her doubt and refute those memes she inscribes, causing her to tank the long silent nights due to growing measures beside her bed teared up. When I talk about tears, think of tears instead of tears so your dreams don’t wake up too ravishingly when there’s danger at the door and a believer begs elusive pardons; when Doctor Elle says things can get worse from here, I think her deniable hopes churns the butter soft and sweet since her fantasized days of love slumbers. So by 2016 Autumn (an autumn after the millennium) on my tread of abstract literacy with a floating screen book over the fleshy digits as I handle it, Elle’s self-hospitality and cuddly notions invite her into more nosy affection to bring her spirit of mild despair toward guideful coming attractions of openness and comprehendible fatigue. Elle’s statements of vague wisdom go along like soaring bubbles as each poem or note is fairly fixed with Elle’s varying tones of voice; I get picturesque hints, Elle’s flowing vibes kind of scrambling until there’s more than enough knots in her delightful input. Or perhaps many boys loved her- after all, boys are chicks too. I may talk about Elle’s disoriented worlds of thought as her ladled passions burn up inside her mind with the momentary silence of doom, but she combats against it with a cute fever and determines relationships as clean before and after the messes. Elle moves closer to her passions to also get away from them as thirst bright creeps into my mouth sandwich behind wisdom teeth; I play with my mouth as a poet and ramble out her phrases “A Note2 Self- Dear Self” seeking psychological approval as much as I can imagine it. I sense distress of glee in her context of meaning when informal proportions to her natural exaggerations quite inform me of Elle’s enthusiasm over healing. Isn’t it significant that Elle puts one of Tolkien’s poems about the book’s front page, maybe aware that their talents aren’t in the easy reach of circles? She listens to the most sensational dreams when horror possibly exists in them in bits; then, as if it’s her forte, there’s dominating regression on her part and she starts to downplay storms, pregnancies, and selective circumstances. It’s not hard to create new ideas, but old ideas are sometimes pieces of cake which must constantly move around and fill up one’s senses. Elle’s gender of baby making is like this box that a female must think outside of once in a blue moon; sex even mentions a redheaded heart asking about a lazy guy, exclusive motions from the buildings keeping passions at their thrills. Poetry isn’t merely romantic; agony’s involved for numerous fish. Elle grooves low and silent at many epic points until female communication reaches this roar of the positive millennium: years of regret have dripped into the bucket she kicks while being alive, so dim circles come around her sanity. Obviously when there’s my feelings for her feelings philosophy becomes just gust one around poor barren shoes I own; the amen is already there, like a cat in a fair rather than a dog in a fight, and her passions have to mix up with her emotions so the lady can walk the plank and come out swimming. As Elle talks around without visits to obvious notions of passion, the enticing attitude over her literary temple opens up to giant rooms of her engrossed imagination although “Words from a Wanderer” isn’t extreme in external concepts; that’s to explain she probably wonders so much about herself that she doesn’t always know who she is: there’s theories about mannerisms that are commonplace for a woman’s identity, so there’s more information in the book about emotions than about actions. As a matter of fact, even her emotion info is based on generalizations instead of concrete problems. The poetic author leans over my psyche with condensed orations; still, Tolkien’s poem about “crownless kings” complements Alexandra Elle’s small bit of visionary conversation about “stormy sunshine.” The book doesn’t explicate the conundrums but shines upon them, Elle taking baby steps and adult strolls to illustrate encouraging romance over herself as a wild flower with seeds and popularity that’s at the tip of her tongue.

Very true and great inspiration for those who seem "lost" or "stuck"... Sometimes we think everyone is moving forward and we're standing still. Alex breaks it down and let's us know that it's part of life and your journey. Poems made me laugh and some made me cry. Overall a great read!

It is a rather short book, but I still wholeheartedly believe that it is worth the purchase. I had read Alexandra Elle's "Neon Soul" and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which is what sparked my interest in her other works. "Words from a Wanderer" reads day-by-day (hence the "62 days of self-affirming notes"). If you are looking for something to keep you occupied for large amounts of time, this might not be the kind of book worth looking into - and other reviews do bash it for being mediocre and not very imaginative, but some of these are deeper, even if they are on the shorter side. I also really enjoyed "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur, "Whiskey, Words, and a Shovel I, II, and III" by R.H. Sin, etc., just to give you my taste in other books.

Powerful book! Wow. Elle's book has revealed aspects of my life that I didn't even realize were spiritually damaging to me: how easily/often I judge others, make assumptions, doubt myself. Ever since I bought this book two weeks ago, four other people in my close circle of friends/family have also gotten a copy and tell me how much it has helped them spiritually.

The writing is simple and to the point- so much so that you cannot deny its truth. You feel like you're affirming these quotes to yourself in a mirror, hence the #anote2self theme. I feel like her quotes are truths I can't escape, because she's written and articulated them on the page- whether I want to accept them or not. This is definitely a must-read for anyone trying to manage this complex and often emotionally challenging thing called life.

For those complaining about short poems, this book does say "daily affirmation notes." I enjoyed this book and how eloquently she says so much, with such few words. I often open a note, and try to affirm that into my day or write about it at night. It's a great short read and a good gift book!

Before you buy this book... Be aware that it's a self-published, instagram author...I didn't look it up or put that together. Look up the author's social media first, get a feel for her work; see if you enjoy what she's about. It was not for me---I would have known if I checked out her work first and realized this was a self-published work.
Sorry, it was like reading my own journal, but worse.

I'm a picker at an the store warehouse and pulled this small paperback out of bin one day and decided to skim through it and fell in love. I love the life lessons and beings that I have anxiety I decided to purchase it for the motivation. I carry it with me where ever I go and read it whenever I need a quick pick- me- up. Although the paperback should be the price of the 'kindle version' I think it was totally worth it.

I am always interested to read about other people. The lives of others are forever interesting, and its amazing to see how many people deal with the same insecurities that you do.
Words from a Wanderer was an insight into someone else's life and definitely made an impact on my outlook. The passages that were notes written to herself were so perfect. I highlighted the majority of them and will go back and read them for sure.
The passages fit the title of the book perfectly. The author has a wandering heart and records her loves, heartbreaks, and losses in the most beautiful light.
This book, while short, was exactly what I needed to read. I will read more from this author. I reccommend this to anyone looking for a quick, heartwarming read. :)

I loved every word. Alex you gave me so much light in a few words. Light that has completely annihilated the darkness I was in for so long. Love love loved it. Keep writing for the souls like mine who can relate. ?

The notes to self are an awesome thing. The author had a way with simple words that mean so much. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to resolve guilty feelings, resentment, and un forgiveness of one's self.

I choose this rating because it's a true 5. I reccomed this book for people who have loved but honestly anybody. It really motivated me to look forward to my future love and focus on myself for now. As well as be okay with my past love,friends and life. I'm moving on for myself.

Reading this book made me feel like the words were being taken right from my mouth. It's as if you develop this intensifying but yet beautiful connection with her. It's honestly a timely piece with a story that has you wanting to read and re-experience it more than just once.

I read this in maybe 20 minutes or so. I found myself doing alot of highlighting! I like how the writer is not only writing advice to herself, but to the readers as well. I also enjoyed the fact that the writer included lost in love poems. Only complaint is I wish it were longer. :)

as a poet, i was a little disappointed in the repetitiveness of some of the poems. it was not what i expected, especially seeing how there was so much hype around it. this is a good book, it's a "pick me up" type book. and it had some really good stuff in it. i just expected more.

This book is ok. It's extremely uplifting but like previous reviews said if you flow the author Alex Elle on any social networks her post reflects the book, so although I enjoyed it I pretty much read it already.

Recommend to ANYONE & EVERYONE. Breathtaking. Beautiful. I love everything about this book. Alex Elle, where have you been all my life. I am so happy I have found you. Bless your kind soul for sharing your deepest thoughts with all of us human beings.

I love poetry , I love spoken word, I love people who understand where I'm coming from and I love this book. This book has all of the above in it. If you love this book you should also follow her on tumblr @Alexandraelle
