Book Reviews #6 & #7
Since it has been a while since I posted, I owe you guys a couple of book reviews… When I bought the book, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, I thought it was another fiction book. As I started to read it though I realized it was actually an autobiography! It is an amazing read […]
Book Review #5
Another book read… This time is was Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom. It was a short, simple read full of lots of advice on how to live a fulfilled life. Albom essentially interviews his dying professor and records in writing the advise the professor, Morrie, has to give. It was sweet and touching and […]
Book #4
Looks like I am staying on track towards my goal of one book a month – I just finished the fourth book of the year and it was Douglas Coupland’s Eleanor Rigby. I think this is my second Coupland book and it was a good read. Unique story-line and good follow-through despite a hokey plot […]
1st book of 2006
I finally finished a book a few weeks ago that I have been reading since late last year titled Savage Girl by Alex Shakar. It’s the first book I’ve finished for 2006… yay! The book was OK. It dragged on though and although I would get drawn in I just as quickly lost interest. I […]
Twelfth Book of the Year!
I almost forgot to write my last book review of the year! As you may recall, back in January I let my one magazine subscription expire and I vowed to get back into reading actual books once again like I used to. I have kept track of them here on the blog via the “Toad’s […]
Overdue Book Reviews
I slowed down on my reading since I got my promotion at work. I have had no energy or motivation to do so. But I did get a couple in and here are my reviews… The Book of Ratings : Opinions, Grades, and Assessments of Everything Worth Thinking About by Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg was a […]
Four more book reviews…
It’s been a while since I posted some book reviews so here are the last four books I’ve gotten through since my last book entry… The Way to Somewhere by Angie Day was actually written by a girl who graduated from my high school a year before me I believe. I do remember her but […]
Two book reviews in one!
I have been doing pretty well on my reading and have managed to get through two more books. Here is a mini-review of each one. Ticktock by Dean Koontz was the first book by Koontz I had read and I must say his writing style is a bit cheesy. It’s overwritten I think. I’m not […]
Book by a Blogger
My reading frenzy continues and I recently finished another book called Why Girls are Weird by Pamela Ribon. Pamela was a blogger and she took some of her on-line stories and created a cute romance around them. It was fun to read about a character who blogs and lives in Texas (the main character lived […]
I got through another book!
Ever since I didn’t renew my subscription to People magazine I’ve renewed my interest in reading actual books. Like I said in the past, I had gotten into the very bad habit of just reading magazines and my attention span had plummeted. Over the last two years my pile of “books to read” had gotten […]
