I’m gonna close my eyes….and count to ten.

October 14, 2018 by tillie Leave a Comment

This is a book written completely for fans of Tina Dickow. The off-set is her life and thoughts as she formed her music career. It is not a stringent account of her life, but snapshots of various memories; her childhood, her life on tour, being lonely in London, and meeting her husband, musician Helgi Jonsson. At times the jumping around became too disjointed, leaving unfinished thoughts and loose notes hanging in the wind. Other times the jumps worked like the mind works – connecting events […]

Want the best financial future for your kids?

October 12, 2018 by KB Leave a Comment

  I loved this book. That is an odd sentence to say about essential a financial help book. However this book is great for a number of reasons. Firstly the content. This book provides advice for helping your children to become financially savvy. It provides guidelines for preparing them to be financially independent when they leave home and in a position to buy their first house. Scott provides a very easy method to follow in order to achieve this. You do not need to have […]

Ready to be inspired?

October 12, 2018 by KB Leave a Comment

  I absolutely loved this book! It is so much better than the second one in this series, ‘Me After You’, and possibly equal with the first, ‘Me Before You’. I found this book to be better than the second one for two main reasons. Firstly it put the focus back onto Lou and her quest for enjoyment, life fulfilment and love. Secondly it is set in NYC which is my most favourite place in the world. This book follows Lou who becomes a personal […]

I was sad that I didn’t like this more.

October 11, 2018 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

I was disappointed in this.  I thought I would like more of it, and perhaps I would if I were more caught up on my nursery rhymes.  I recognized some of them, and a few were quite clever, but there were some I couldn’t place. After reading another Halloween book that was more to my taste, this felt a little lacking. We start off in a festive mood with “Boys and Girls, Come Trick-or-Treat,” which is based on “Boys and Girls, Come Out to Play”. […]

Thanks, CBR10 Bingo, for getting me to read a book I normally wouldn’t!

October 11, 2018 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

So the book I was going to read for this square is a bit longer than I was expecting, and perhaps more dense, so I “cheated” from my original plan and looked for a children’s book that would work!  As we’re in October, I looked for a Halloween book, because why not? So I came across Skeleton for Dinner by Margery Cuyler, purely because the author happens to live in my state.  So let’s see how it is! I quite like the artwork.  The witches […]

What a way to experience a classic!

October 11, 2018 by crystalclear 2 Comments

So, while I am a fan of Pride and Prejudice, I have never really read other Jane Austen books.  So when I heard that the production of Emma was free on Audible, I jumped on it.  And I’m super glad I did! This is an awesome production, and a production indeed it is.  I have no idea how big the cast is, but this is quality work. There are sound effects in the background, like horses and crowds and paper rustling and fire crackling!  Emma […]
