Minus the cursing and a few awkward sexual references, this was an outstanding and quick read that will have the most conservative of us struggling to keep our laughter inside. The ridiculous side of me wanted to remember and capture all of the hilarious responses of Halpern’s father, recognizing that the generation and their peculiarContinue reading “Book Review: Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern”

Book Review: How Fires End by Marco Rafala
Thankful this book was a gift as it is not a book I would dream of choosing for myself. Taking place in Italy, this book is an illustrative example of how feuds can be passed down through generations, across continents, and almost always cause needless pain and suffering. This book also provided an objective lookContinue reading “Book Review: How Fires End by Marco Rafala”
Book Review: Attachment Theory by Thais Gibson
In spite of all the focus on love languages, I highly recommend this book as a more relevant guide or at least dual companion in regards to relationships. Understanding the ways in which those around us attach, the pain that may linger from past pain in attachment, and the best way to accomodate in relationshipsContinue reading “Book Review: Attachment Theory by Thais Gibson”

Book Review: The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne
I started reading this on the beach and found myself struggling to be drawn in.

The characters are all clever and the audience is particularly prone to enjoy Sloan and her ambitionContinue reading “Book Review: The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne”
