Touristic Medals Giveaway!

Touristic Medals Giveaway!

My friend from Bringing Up Salamanders is hosting a giveaway for her friend Julio at Brazilian Touristic Medals.

I looked and added him to my favorite sellers on Etsy. They are very cool looking medals. I think it would be best to go visit Brazil to get it in person, but this is a great 2nd choice. I hope I win because I think they are cool and I think my boys will love them too.


In my life now I am walking a lot and working on weight loss and raising my boys. I still love to read and am excited to do more reviews for Quirk and any other publisher I can get interested. I do think I need to hunt down other small publishers that may be interested in using a blogger to review.

Thanks for reading, now go see Nydia and enter the giveaway.

Author Review - Katherine Center


Today I am review not just a book but an author. Katherine Center has written 3 books:

She writes like a normal person, with a wicked sense of humor, about real women. Not the perfect sized, working a dream fashion job kind of woman. More like, overweight, unemployed, bad with men kind of women. Everyone is Beautiful is about a married mother of three. The Bright Side of Disaster is about a woman who has a really bad boyfriend and when she gets pregnant, he disappears and how she deals with that in her life. Especially since she didn't have a job before the baby was born. And in Get Lucky it's a story about sisters.

All three deal with different issues, but she has such a great flow in her writing that you just become a part of that world. She only has the three books so far, but I will be checking out her stuff as it comes out. So, looking for a quick and easy read go pick one of her books. They go fast, but are phenomenal.

Foxy's Tale

Let's see, cover has that cute cartoon thing going on again. It's a paranormal novel but it's so unique. Really that's the best word I can think to use here. I've read so many over the last two years tha...
How to Dump Your Boyfriend in the Men's Room

From: Lilac Wolf and Stuff

Cute cover! It's one of the reasons I enjoy chick-lit, the colorful and cartooney covers.

Now Sibel Hodge mentions in the Author's Note that these books are unrelated. Some are true and some ...
