Book Recommendation: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Publication Date: September 2010 Number of Pages: 169 David Sedaris is the master of sarcasm and wit wrapped in humor and truth. This collection of short stories is a fast read. I bought this at a used bookstore only to make it more used by spilling water on the cover.

Book Recommendation: I’ll Never Call Him Dad Again
Publisher: Sourcebooks Publication Date: March 18, 2025 (originally written in French in 2022) Number of Pages: 224 When I picked up this book at Barnes and Noble, I was more than ready to dive into it. This kind of book was appalling to read, but unfortunately, I was not totally surprised Caroline Darian’s father did

Book Recommendation: Thawing: Adult/Child Syndrome
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Publication Date: April 8, 2012 Number of Pages: 237 pages I have no issue with self-help books written by authors that aren’t widely known. Some of them have valuable insight and primarily because the author experienced the events themselves. They have firsthand knowledge of the steps to heal and what

Book Recommendation: You’re Not Crazy-You’re Codependent

Book Recommendation: Running Scared
Publication Date: 2001 Publisher: Fall Walls Eight Windows Page Number: 354 It wasn’t hard to like this book because as most casino owners, Steve Wynn (born Stephen Alan Weinberg), is an interesting character from his childhood to the present time. The writer John L. Smith was born, raised, and worked as a journalist in Nevada.

(Sort of) Book Recommendation: 1984
Publication Date: January 1, 1977Publisher: Signet ClassicPage Number: 267It took me a long time to read this book for several reasons. The first being the writing of George Orwell wasn’t my favorite. There was too much repetitive usage of certain phrases and words. I think Orwell could have put a little more confidence into his

Book Recommendation: Holidays On Ice
Publication Date: December 1, 1997 Publisher: Back Bay Books Page Number: 134 This is not the book I imagined would be the last one I would be reading this year. Every story except the different elves and Santas at Macy’s ended not as I would’ve imagined. There’s a lot of creativity and a moderate amount

Book Recommendation: The Confession
Publication Date: July 19, 2011 Publisher: Vintage Page Number: 528 The best part of this book is for writers and that was at the end in the author’s note. After the thanks to particular people, Grisham started with the following. “Some overly observant readers may stumble across a fact or two that might appear to

Book Recommendation: Creative Writer’s Notebook
Publication Date: March 1, 2018 Publisher: Quad Books Page Number: 192 If anyone has a writer’s brain, you know that when you can’t write or don’t want to write, you’re usually reading about writing or reading about an author you admire. You do your best to get as much out of life as you can,

Book Recommendation: Black Girl, Call Home

Book Recommendation: Pachinko
Publication Date: February 7, 2017 Publisher: Grand Central Publishing Page Number: 496 It took me three years to read this book but don’t let how long I took to read this book reflect on how it is written. For a novel that entails many generations, it is bound to be longer. I guess life just

Book Recommendation: Auras: Your Personal Guide
Publication Date: June 17, 2021 Publisher: Wellfleet Press Page Number: 144 Unlike the other book I read, this book does require some brain power. This book is elementary for those that already know about chakras and auric fields. There is a good introduction into how to cleanse and balance chakras and auric fields. There are

Book Recommendation: History’s Dumbest Crimes
The only books I seem to be reading are those that don’t require a lot of brain power. While this book was an easy read, it did have some crimes I’ve never heard about and presented in a way that would entice any reader to finish it to the end. I was sort of bummed
