A Brush With Death By: Ali Carter Cleanliness (See "About" for scale): Yuck (10+ curse words. Other content: smoking, drinking, mention of sex, descriptions of privates, religion, murder, and death.) 3.5 stars This book was simply odd. I think I expected too much of it.

There is nothing revolutionary, but it is a wonderful reminder that … Continue reading Happier Thinking ~Book Review~

Happy Valentine's Day to all! Today is the day for cuddling, romantic dinners, chocolates, candles, kisses, etc. For some, though, it's a day of feeling sorry for yourself and drowning sorrows in steamy romance books. I may have some chocolates and a nice meal, but I am neither of those stereotypes. The number one reason … Continue reading Romance Books (And Why I Don’t Read Them)

Other questionable content: mention of middle finger, mention of characters cursing, drinking, smoking, lying, non-descriptive kissing, and death.) 2 Stars If you like baseball a lot, you might like this book.

I love books, but I don't normally go straight for the most popular section of the bookstore (more like Goodwill haha). I like unique books that a lot of people may not have read. How else are you going to make a new book a popular book if someone doesn't pick it up for the … Continue reading My Top Ten Books
