Big Book of Quizzes by the Editors of Faithgirlz!




Big Book of Quizzes: Fun, Quirky Questions for You and Your Friends by Ronald A Beers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


From the editors of Faithgirlz! comes a fun filled book of quizes.

I have always loved taking little quizes and when I saw this I just knew I had to get it so not only I, but my two little sisters could take these quizzes as well.

My 14 year old sister and I started taking the quizzes together as soon as I got the book.

I reccommend this book for anyone who has little girls...

Dad is Fat by Jim Gaffigan

Dad Is FatDad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


From Comedian and fellow "The Walking Dead" Superfan, Jim Gaffigan, comes Dad Is Fat. A humorous look at being a parent of not one, but five kids in today's society.

Jim's humor could be taken the wrong way by some, but if you open your mind, you can see that even though parenting is an important job, it can be fun. At least I think it can...

I love the synopsis on the back of the book:

"Have you ever read a book that has changed your life? Well neither has Mr. Gaffigan.

This may be because Mr. Gaffigan is lazy and has poor eyesight, or it may be because he has five very young children and lives in a two bedroom apartment in New York City. Yes, five children. No, he only looks Mormon. Jim is like you: busy, self-consumed, and exhausted. The only difference may be that Mr. Gaffigan is a comedian and very, very good looking.

Sharply observed and explosively funny, Dad Is Fat is Jim's tribute to all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home."

Just the back of the book alone, gives you a peek into Jim's humor. I loved this book. I couldn't stop laughing as I read it.

The Bridge Tender by Marybeth Whalen


While on their honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Shaw make a pact. No matter what the have to sacrifice, they will return to Sunset Beach, North Carolina and but their own home. A beautiful pact made by newlyweds. A pact that was never to be.

Seven years into the marriage, Emily Shaw is left a widow. Alone, heartbroken, and past the point of caring. Until A man shows up with something for her from Ryan. Unsure if she's able to stay in their home, Emily returns to Sunset Beach, ready to hold up her end of the pact.

In no time, Emily finds the perfect home and becomes immeresed in the coastal town life. As the town debates among each other on wether to build a new bridge or keep the old one, Emily tries to decide wether she should side with her new neighbor and the Bridge Tender she has met, or side with the others.

Emily must also decide if she should and could, build her own bridge. A bridge to a new love and new chapter in her life, or will she be stuck on the old bridge, unable to let go of a past love?

This book was really good. At first I thought I was going to be bored with it. However, after a chapter or so, I was hooked. I wanted to know if Emily could move on and keep her end of this beautiful pact. In the end, I was very happy I got this book.

A Table By the Window by Hillary Manton Lodge

 
 
 
 
Juliette D'Alisa is the youngest heir to a French-Italian Restaurant & Food Writer. Sorting through her recently passed Grandmother's possessions, she finds a photo of interest. The man in the photo looks an awful lot like her brother Nico. Juliette seeks to find the truth behind this photo and her grandmother's past, all the while trying to keep it from her nosy family. Starting a long distance relationship only seems to complicate things. Will she have the strength to make tough decisions and unveil the truth behind her family's past?
 
 
I LOVED this book. I didn't want to put it down. I was disappointed in how it finished until I flipped a few pages and found and excerpt from the next book. I was thrilled when I saw that the story continues. I can't wait to read that one!

I really enjoyed this book. It's quite a page turner. Dr. Mabry has a way of mixing suspense and medical aspects that makes the story seem real. I couldn't put it down!
