The Aloha Quilt: A Book Review

I’m a big fan of Jennifer Chiaverini and her Elm Creek Quilts series. I’ve been known to quilt here and there (but certainly not as much as I would like to) and the thing I like about it most is the community feel of the activity; it tends to be more fun to work on [...]

Rules of Thumb: A Book Review

I’m back on a business book kick and have some pretty good stuff I want to share with you. For now, let me introduce you to Alan Webber. If youhaven’t met him yet, I have to tell you; he’s a pretty fascinating guy with an interesting perspective on life. Among other notable things, Alan founded [...]

Trust Agents: A Book Review

There are a whole lot of people who know Chris Brogan and Julien Smith. They are both social media and trend experts who have joined forces to write Trust Agents, a book all about how to not only understand social media, but use it to enhance your online reputation. There are a ton of social [...]

Educating Esme: A Book Review & Contest

There are times when you find a book that is not only entertaining but inspiring too. I’ve found it with Educating Esme. First a quick background. A few years ago, I volunteered to teach Sunday School at my Church in New York. I was given a textbook (which was horribly outdated at the time), a [...]

The Frog Prince: A Book Review

The Frog Prince was the first book by Jane Porter. And, in case you haven’t been paying attention, I’m a big fan of hers. Have you ever been dumped by the seemingly perfect guy? Ever gone on a bad date? How about a whole bunch of bad dates? Then you’ll probably relate to this book. [...]

Dump ‘Em: A Book Review

Hi, I’m Angela and I hate confrontation. (Hi Angela.) Yep. I hate confrontation. I avoid it all costs and I’d much rather suffer than find myself face-to-face with a discussion that is awkward and uncomfortable. No, I didn’t really enjoy that obscene joke. I’d rather you didn’t blow your grass onto my lawn when you [...]

Easy on the Eyes: A Book Review

Ok, last post about Jane Porter… for now. Easy on the Eyes is the latest book by Jane Porter (who clearly is becoming one of my favorite writers). So, track back to Odd Mom Out. That was where we met Marta. We were also introduced to her two best friends: Shey and Tiana. Tiana is [...]

Meeting Mr. Wrong – A Book Review

Ok, we’ve all been there. Well, maybe you haven’t but I know I have. You meet someone and it doesn’t seem right. Then you meet someone else and that doesn’t seem right. After a few of these adventures you begin to wonder if you’re a magnet for crazy people. And I really hope I’m not [...]

Tribes: A Book Review

This month, I’ll be focusing reviews on business-related items. I’ve been reading a ton of business books lately and so I figured dedicating a whole month to it would be a good idea. Today, we’re starting off with Tribes by Seth Godin. Seth is revered by many to be a marketing genius. His blog is [...]

Beyond Belief: A Book Review

I’ve mentioned this book before, but it really is deserving of its own post. I’m a huge fan of comeback stories and Beyond Belief is quite a story. I didn’t much at all about Josh Hamilton until he made his comeback into baseball. I first heard bits and pieces of his story during the Homerun [...]
