Secrets of a Shoe Addict

Secrets of a Shoe Addict
Beth Harbison


I loved this book. I really could relate to some of the women and their experiences. The blind date with the "puppet" had me rolling on the floor.
I am a self proclaimed shoe addict myself but was pleasantly surprised that most of the story line had nothing to do with shoes.

Ghost Stories of Missouri

Ghost Stories of Missouri

A.S. Mott

I was disappointed in this book. It really didnt have any "scary" stories. It was a quick read and if you dont have anything else to do it would pass on afternoon.

LA Candy

LA Candy

Lauren Conrad

For a first novel I didnt think it was too bad. However, I did find myself wanting to hurry up and get to the end. I think it would suit a younger genre much better then my own.

I will definitely pass this one on to my younger niece.

The Bell Jar

The Bell Jar

Sylvia Plath

This book haunted me a bit. I kept thinking about Sylvia's suicide. I wonder if she knew while penning each page that she would end her life. I liked how it was written in first person. I could easily follow along with her.

I rate this book ****

Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

This book was awesome. The full version written in 1953 showed what the future held for books in society. It was interesting to see how books were not allowed. I couldnt help but think about the "kindle" and wondered if it would someday bring an end to the paperbooks and leather bounds in our future.

I rate this book *****

A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess

I didn't read this in school nor did I see the Stanley Kubrick film version.

I couldn't get past the slang. All the glazzies, tolchocks,ptitsas and golosses and so on were too distracting for my taste.

I did find the method of making someone "sane" intriguing. I wonder if it would really work?

Sadly, I didn't enjoy this modern day classic as much as I had hoped.

The Afterlife Experiments

The Afterlife Experiments
Gary E. Schwartz, PH.D.
with William L. Simon
Forward by Deepak Chopra

This was a wonderful book. My favorite readings were the ones conducted by John Edwards.
Because of my own personal experiences, I do believe in life after death. It was interesting to read about scientific data that even the skeptics would find hard to repute.
If the Living Soul hypothesis is ever accepted and believed by all, it would change everything.
