I hope this is going to be a hit! This is Caroline’s second published book in the states. I am going to have to check out her first now!

I have to admit, I wasn’t too enthused about this book. However, I am trying to build my reputation with Netgalley by reading any book they will hand me because my “book allowance” isn’t near what I want it to be.  I thought the cover was too plain, sort of old…

The Home Book Review

WOW!!!!!!!  I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

I wasn’t expecting much since it is on the Kindle Unlimited list but it was awesome. I haven’t been so surprised at the ending since “Behind Her Eyes”.

Angela was given up for adoption and raised in an orphanage.  Abused off and on, she seemed to turn out okay despite not getting adopted until she was 14.

Growing up, she had mixed feelings about meeting her birth…

The Weight of Silence Book Review

Oh wow!!!  I didn’t know if I was going to be into this book since it is a second in a series.  However, it is great!  I am definitely going to move forward and read anymore books that Greg Olsen writes.

Nicole is a cop with a gambling addiction that has been hovering over her head.  She hasn’t gambled since she got custody of her niece, Emma.  Emma is her world and she will do anything for her.

Guess Who Book Review

I was excited to get the chance to read this book. I immediately thought of the movie, Saw. Of course, it wasn’t as brutal but it was still pretty good.

Sheppard is the host of an investigation show.  He’s always wanted to be famous from the time he was a young boy.  Recognized by everyone, he is quick to be either loved or hated by his fans.  The story begins with him waking up in a hotel room…

This isn’t the end of your story

If you were to be able to invite five people to dinner, dead or alive, who would it be?

Sabrina gets this opportunity for her 30th birthday.  Actually, I am sitting here writing this and I am wanting to say the dinner was a surprise but I can’t remember who planned the party if it was so I don’t wanna lie to ya.  I remember her and her bestie, Jessica had made the list when they were younger but…

AT and T Sucks

When my boyfriend and I moved in together, we decided to do an apartment. I mean, we dated for like 2 months before making this huge decision!  I was from “Old Pearland” where it is nice and there are families walking down the street and it doesn’t take 30 minutes to drive a mile.  Well, we moved to “new Pearland”. I knew it wasn’t the best but we were in a hurry and just needed somewhere to…

Wouldn’t ya think?

I haven’t written on here in forever.  So to my 4 followers, I am so sorry if you have missed me.   I hope your despair has not been to traumatic.

I’ve had a crazy few years.  However, today, I want to vent.

So, my ex and I divorced like 15 years ago now.  I won’t bash him or say all the crazy psycho stuff that I had to put up with through the years but once my kids graduated I felt as though I…

Lisa Scottoline – Feared

When requesting this book from Netgalley, I was unaware that it was a series. In fact, it was the 6th book of the Rosato & DiNunzio series. “Holy Crap, I am going to be lost” was my first thought. However, I wasn’t lost at all. Going forward, I will read the rest of the series if there are more coming (I hope there is) but I don’t know if I will go backwards really. Mary, Judy, and Bennie are the…

Baby Teeth Book Review

I feel weird for saying this but I loved this book! Does that make me crazy????!!!  About half way through, I started wondering who was more crooked, me or the author?  I couldn’t stop reading it though! Alex and Suzette have the perfect marriage along with a daughter, Hanna who is seven.  Hanna is a sweet little girl who is mute.  They have tried putting her in several schools hoping she will…

Going to try this Blogging thing again

I haven’t posted in a couple of years. There are many reasons for this and I am sure my three followers are dying to know right???  Well, here ya go! I lost my very laid back job and now work somewhere where they expect me to earn my paycheck.  Yes, I have called labor board many times.  I keep leaving Greg Abbott messages as well.  He hasn’t returned my call though. I left my hubs.  He was a…

Rosie’s Colored Glasses

Omg! I loved this book! I couldn’t help but cry the last couple of chapters. I don’t think I have cried reading a book since The Glass House. It left me wanting more of Willow (Rosie’s daughter) and to see how her life changed once she learned the truth. Willow and her mom were close from birth. On top of her mom being the “fun parent” they just clicked. Willow’s dad, Rex, had rules and never…

I don’t know if you’ve heard of the food delivery company, Plated, but the idea behind it is to provide people with fresh, pre-portioned ingredients + chef-designed recipes so that anyone can make their own meals at home, and this book definitely reflects that philosophy. The book is divided into the following chapters: -Kitchen Basics (covers how to outfit your kitchen, what to stock in your…

Home Cooked – Anya Fernald

Home Cooked by Anya Fernald  caught my eye because everything is made from scratch.  I enjoy making everything homemade even though it is more time consuming.   When I got the cookbook, I was very excited.  Unfortunately, most of the stuff I will never make.  She wasn’t lying when she said everything is homemade from scratch!  There are a few things that I will probably try like Biscuits, Aioli,…

I admit, I am not the grill master.  The way it works in my house is I season the meat or veggies and The Hubs does it.  For the most part, this system works for us.  However, I have learned that he is not allowed to grill while I am not home.  He has used (and not replaced) too many of my cake pans to catch drippings or for whatever else. Hello!!!  Use a sheet pan dude!!! I saw Around the…

I quit sugar book review

I am all for cooking healthier and try to for the most part.  Of course, my “healthy eating” consists of only allowing myself one tortilla with my order of fajitas vs. all four.  Perhaps that is why no matter how much I work out I have never had “abs”. The recipes in this book are very interesting and I do have every intention of trying a few of them.  However, a lot of it is hard to find…

Chrissy Teigen is becoming my new girl crush.  She is funny, loves to eat, and loves to drink. I mean, what else would you want! I have never watched her show.  I don’t have cable :(  I first saw her on Lip Sync battle when people share the videos on FB or I search for them on You tube when I am bored.  When I heard she was with John Legend, I was thinking he was a singer from back in the day but…

Sorry I was late for work….

  but there was a naked lady dancing on an 18 wheeler in traffic. Yes, there is that excuse that people in Houston can use if they were late to work on this past Monday, March 7, 2016. I was actually at the doctor with Jordan when I first heard the “news”.  I was scrolling through the news feed and saw this article come across my feed.  I actually didn’t even read the article much less open it at…
