Empty Bottles Full of Stories

To me, this book was nothing but neat quotes that you can easily find on Instagram. It just looks pretty on my shelf. There was nothing truly moving or inspiring about this book, and it just seem cheesy and non creative. I don’t recommend you go out your way to buy this book, it’s not worth the money nor hype. Unless you just want a pretty book.

I like r.h. Sin. As soon as I read R.M. Drake's political piece, that was it for me. For me, putting a political piece in the middle of where no one expected it to be was very disappointing. Anything r.h. Sin puts his name to with Drake, I will not be reading.

Very depressing but if you like this sort of thing it’s for you… I like probably 20% of the “poems” - I’m over these two authors though. Let’s start writing positive, uplifting things?? Not all women are unhappy and sad crying over men you know....

Instapoets recycle the same themes this publisher puts out every month or so. I read almost the entire book in a bookstore. There's no doubt this sells but it shouldn't be considered poetry. This publisher just cranks out the same book every month or so. It's more motivational quote/self love help guru than poetry. No critical thinking involved whatsoever just scroll on by to the next. Instapoets have amassed such huge followings they are almost immune to literary criticism and it's much needed.

I volunteer at the SPCA. I been reading this during read and relax with the dogs there. R.M Drake is super good. Some parts made me cry. R.H Sin is my all time favorite but some parts were a little "dry" but not terrible. Overall, I think it is okay. Hope the next collaboration is better though.
