Book Review: Aspen Everlasting by Kathryn Cooper

October 13, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Aspen Everlasting is a fun paranormal romance.  This is the perfect fit for young teens as well as adults who want a clean romance that is entertaining to read. I'm not always a fan of romances because they feel cheesy sometimes, but there was plenty of humor and teasing that kept the cheesiness at bay.  This quote is ... Read More »

Book Review: Out of the Past by Kalinda Vázquez

August 4, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Short and Sweet Version A fun, quick must-read for Once Upon a Time fans.  The art is gorgeous.  The stories are all new and set in the Enchanted Forrest which I don't get to see as much of on the TV show as I would like.  Loved it! Jessica Thinks Too Much Version Mild spoilers ahead! This spoiler warning ... 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: Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman

May 12, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

This very short novel is a beautiful story about what it means to be a community and how a community comes from having something in common - even if it's as small as a garden.  Each chapter has a different character and a different point of view about this community garden which made it feel more ...

Book Review: The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs

April 21, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Short and Sweet Version I read this book on a recommendation from a friend.  When I first saw it, it seemed like it was mocking religion.  The cover kind of says "See how ridiculous religion is? LOL."  While there is humor, it's more self-deprecating instead of mocking.  That being said, the humor wasn't that hilarious.  It ... Read More »
