The Tale of the Clownfish and the Great Shark – Book Review 

I read “The Tale of the Clownfish and the Great Shark”  by Lily Lexington on Kindle. I knew nothing about the book or author before starting other than it was a book for children and the fish was a Clownfish like the main characters of “Finding Nemo”. While I have to admit as a first time mom to be, I don’t know a lot about books for children yet, the idea of a “fun rhyming kids book” as this was described on Amazon, was a new concept to me, one I was eager to try out.

Nicholas Sparks – The Notebook – Book Review 

Even though I’d read and enjoyed Nicholas Sparks’ book “A Walk to Remember”, as well as the movie with the same title, I’d never read “The Notebook” or seen the movie, though I’d intended to do so. With the book arriving at our church’s book exchange, I decided it was the time to give this one a read.

So You’re Gonna Be a Dad – Now What? – Book Review

Candy and I both gave Matt books for his Father to Be Day on Sunday. I chose “So You’re Gonna Be a Dad – Now What?” by Scott Patchin as the first one to review. This book is short, only 78 pages of advice, so it could be read in one quick reading if desired, or even skimmed through then read carefully again at another time.

Secrets of the Baby Whisperer – Book Review 

I’ve been intrigued by the concept of this boo ever since I bought it at a used bookstore on our babymoon getaway. In this book Tracy Hogg, classifies most babies as being in one of five types: Angel, Textbook, Grumpy, Touchy and Spirited, though some can have characteristics of more than one type.

One of my favorite authors from Childhood was Stephen King. I read “Eyes of the Dragon”, “Carrie” and “Firstarter” perhaps at younger ages than I should have and multiple times each. I was eager to read his novella collaboration with Richard Chipman, “Gwendy’s Button Box”.
