On Strike for Christmas

Very Enjoyable
It all started with an innocent idea. Joy and Bob are empty-nesters. Joy, who loved the Christmas holidays, was tired of her Bob Humbug husband's attitude towards the festivities so she decided to go on strike. Since her husband didn't seem to appreciate the work behind the holiday anyways, if he wanted a Christmas he could do all the work, right? But then Joy took the idea to her knitting ...

The librarian recommended...and it worked!
My daughter is supposed to be reading chapter books but she can't get into them so doesn't finish them. On our last library visit, I asked for help from the librarian. She said, "She just hasn't found the right book yet." This was one of the 'books' she suggested because it was audio. "Judy Blume is great and this should help spark her interest." So we got it. Well, not only did it spark her ...

An Awesome Book
"Get Off Your Knees And Pray" was an awesome book. Sheila draws from her experiences as a mother and life to share insights that God has given to her about prayer and why it is so important to our Christian Life. Some times we as Christians make prayer more than it is and that can kill our motivation to pray. Sheila, through humor and honesty, challenges our faultily thoughts on the subject and ...

Great Surprise!
I bought this as a baby shower gift for a friend whose boy baby name is Brock. I wasn't thinking too much of it from what I saw, but when I got it I was pleasantly surprised. It is a great rhyming tale of two twins, and how one saves while the other spends. Really cute! I especially liked how the last two pages give a comparison of how money compounds and gives advice to kids on how to save. ...

19 years and two healthy children later...
hindsight being what it is I would have to say that Sheila's book gave me the courage of my convictions and the reassurance that we are born to do this baby rearing. I spend time on both continents and see very little problem with moms having a little wine or beer while pregnant or nursing~heck, some of the most incredible people I can think of that are between 40-60 had moms that held their ...
Poison Pen: A Forensic Handwriting Mystery

Amateur sleuth proves the pen is mightier than the sword
I love mysteries of all sub-genres but this one is tough to categorize. It is definitely not a cozy, hardboiled, caper, or chick-lit mystery. It does feel a lot like a thriller-mystery, with a side of romance, gritty language, some violence, and a plot that will keep you turning pages well into the night. The handwriting aspect is interesting even for someone who knows nothing of the subject; ...

How Lyric Writers Eat their Veggies
This is THE book to learn the tools to write excellent lyrics for pop music. It systematically explores techniques and presents successful examples of their use. Yes, it plods like a school textbook, but it is written by a successful teacher who has mastered her craft. Yes, some examples are old, but they still illustrate excellence in action. Some other books are certainly quicker and more ...

Great for the littlest princesses
I am the mother of three little girls; 5, 3, and 1; and almost every night before bed we read this book. It is set up in 4 page sections that first take a passage and break it down into simple language that relates to little girls. Then there is a section of the reading that relates it to the little girls life, sometimes there is a song or a play you can act out with your little princess. My ...

Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation

This should be a movie!
I truly loved this book and intend to buy it for all of my old high school gal pals. The contribution these three (and many others mentioned in the book) made to music was and is enormous. We all struck out with stars in our eyes and Joni Michell's 'Banquet' is as germaine today as it was then. It was fascinating for a boomer like me to find out that Graham Nash was "Willy". The book forces you ...

Funny and sad...but mostly very funny!
A couple of reviewers have given this book a bad review. They both sound like idiots. One of them doesn't even seem to have read the book; this person said that Sheila was a PROSTITUTE! Well, let me clear THAT one up right now. Sheila is NOT a prostitute. She's a Jewish woman with stereotypical Jewish parents and she has had it drummed into her that the most important thing in life for a woman is ...
