Book Review: Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford

January 15, 2016 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

I read this book out loud to my kids and they loved it.  I didn't expect that I would love it too! It was a lot of fun to read out loud becuase it was full of clever dialogue.  I maybe got a little carried away with the voices but my kids seemed to like ... Read More »

Book Review: Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

December 8, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Short and Sweet Version Laura Hillenbrand knows how to write a non-fiction memoir that is just as compelling as the best fiction out there.  Skip the movie and read Unbroken.  This amazing memoir is about the Pacific front of World War II against Japan that most people don't know very much about. Jessica Thinks Too Much Version Mild spoilers ... Read More »

Book Review: Spousonomics by Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson

November 3, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spousonomics is a marriage book that appeals to the logical side of your brain, written with a lot of sarcasm and humor to make it fun to read.  I liked that it didn't go into "feelings" and crap (and thank heavens there was no personal quiz/workbook at the end).  It focuses on practical ways to ...

Book Review: Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

October 20, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Short and Sweet Version No, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do not just switch lines.  But, I'm not going to lie - a lot of the book is copied and pasted.  Little details are different like Beau opening the door for Edythe and Edythe smiling all the time.  Seriously, why is she smiling all the time? ...
