Book Review: The Great Typo Hunt by Jeff Deck

June 30, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

The cover and title caught my attention at Borders and I had to read it. The book is pretty straight forward as far as the plot, but it was the writing style that made me love this book.  It wasn't all fluff and entertainment, either.  He grew on the journey and made me laugh my ... Read More »

Book Review: Star Wars Trilogy

June 29, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

It was really interesting to read these novels again now that I've seen the prequels. The first thing I noticed - the prequels don't match up to the back story in this book. In fact, the back story from the novels was much more interesting than Episodes I, II, and/or III. Let's start with Star Wars ... Read More »

Book Review: My Life in France by Julia Child

June 28, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

It made me want to cook, eat and live in France! She's very funny and honest. It took forever to realize that when she said "marketing" she really meant "shopping at the market." Her story was very inspiring and it was fun to know that she loved cooking for no better reason than she loved ... Read More »

Book Review: Julie and Julia by Julie Powell

June 28, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

It made me laugh out loud sometimes, but swears so much that I wouldn't recommend it. The movie catches the essence of what she went through in the book.  There are some scenes in the book that were funny and didn't make it into the movie, but there are also a few gross stories that ...

Ongoing Series I'm Reading Right Now

June 28, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

I like to wait for all the books of a series to come out before I read it, if I can, because I love reading a new series all right in a row over a weekend. But sometimes peer pressure gets the better of me and I have to read what everyone else is reading. ... Read More »
