One of those books that maybe everyone should read… but if this wasn’t a Disney movie, would anyone really care? I’ve read a few ‘out there ‘books. Books written ‘back in the day’ when situations don’t make sense. The story doesn’t flow. The ideas are so far out there, that you are amazed by the modern…

A book that isn’t for me. I don’t dislike short stories or essays, but I also don’t reach for them either. A positive I found is the style of the writing was so different from any collection of short stories I have read before. Clever title and love all the onion related quotes at…

Can this even be considered a book? This book was frustrating. It is ‘endorsed’ by Stephen King .. so you immediately think – well this can’t be that bad.

This book just didn’t interest me. The author’s note at the beginning made me laugh – but I should have seen the red flags that were clearly there. The author mentions how we should appreciate the book is only 99 cents and more or less take that into consideration before leaving a bad review. Now…

Absolutely beautiful book about a mother telling her children about a love interest turned great movie star. You can’t say this book isn’t well written. It is. It’s beautiful. I found real peace while reading and even though winter is hitting us now, I longed for the warmth of the Michigan summers. The idea of…
