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: These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner

August 25, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Short and Sweet Version An epic romance on par with Gone With the Wind that features a feisty female lead.  It made for a great discussion in my book club since it brought up social and women's issues.  The western setting and the journal-style story telling made it an unforgettable read. Jessica Thinks Too Much Version Mild spoilers ... Read More »

Audiobook Review: Think Like A Freak by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

July 16, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Short and Sweet Version If you're an avid Freakonomics podcast listener, like me, you won't find much new in this book.  Still, I really enjoyed the ideas and had fun applying them in my life.  It's all about critical thinking and new ways to approach problems that you might not have thought of before. Jessica Thinks Too ... Read More »

Book Review: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

July 7, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Short and Sweet Version If you loved Where'd You Go, Bernadette I bet you would love Big Little Lies, too. Big Little Lies is full of quirky characters, great humor, gossip, intrigue, and mystery.  It's addicting to read.  And somehow, at the same time, it talks about abuse, lies, and the objectification of women in a thoughtful and ...

Book Review: In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick

June 30, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

In the Heart of the Sea is an addicting read mostly because I was horrified and had to know what happened next.  This story honestly sounds made up but it is not.  As nail biting as the story itself was, it was written like a historical textbook.  I know this story happened a long time ago, ...
