101 Ways is a cute fast book with tips on how to live your days enjoying your fashion, your every spare moment, and your life. These tips are simple and easy: “Wear what you love—don’t always go for designer names. Look for splendid pieces in undiscovered boutiques.” and “Take a bath—luxuriate in a warm bubble bath, step out feeling like a million bucks.” My favorite was # 16—“Pick up a book. Knowledge is power. and power is chic.” They’re the kind of thing that you read and follow just to give yourself a quick break, and a refreshing change, with tons of easy, fool-proof fashion tips.

The illustrations are beautiful! Here’s a photo of one of the pictures: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_-sER6e5xCaQ/S2ouqKKFpjI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/xxzMonyChU8/s1600-h/tip%2016%5B5%5D.jpg

Recommendation: Ages 12+ for lovers of fashion, bubble baths, and being themselves in a chic stylish way!

If this was one of my text books I might have done my homework.
I was really unsure of reading this when it first came out since I tend to stay away from novellas or side books but it's for Harry Potter so I took the dive and you know what I was not disappointed.

I really didn't know how I was going to like reading a "text book" book but Fantastic Beasts is really cool in that you do get to learn more about the magical creatures of the wizarding world.. And honestly I wish it was longer!

My favorite thing and what really just helps this book be more immersive is that it is Harry Potter's old school text book so it has little notes from him and Ron. It's a small detail but just really cute and a must have for Potterheads.

Simple fun game to bring out when you have friends over
A fantastic fun simple game that can be taught to anyone. I've played it with so many groups of people and one thing I have discovered, they all want to play it again. Some even go out and buy themselves a copy. Its comes in a cute, very portable box so it's easy to throw in you bag and whip out when you want some laughs. To get the most out of it play it with a group rather than just two of you, with two you will still have a blast it's just with more players the game really come alive! (Or dead if you end up exploding in the first 2 minutes)

This was a good film (except for the scenes I couldn't see that included a certain wrestler.)
The Transformer movies have steadily slid into convoluted messes of CGI and plot holes. So, heading into this one I didn't know what to expect. This still had the robot fighting action you expect but seemed to take a step back from the other films and focus on a well-written story. Hailee Steinfeld is good in her role. She along with the ET-esque Bumblebee carry the heart of the film and force the audience to care about the "Robots in Disguise," something earlier films in the series seemed to have forgotten about. John Cena is also decent in his role. Overall, it's a cute and fun story of loss and rising from the ashes of that loss to return to life again. In my opinion the best one in the series.

Bowser is thrilled when Birdie and her Grammy pick him to be their new dog. The trio has just returned from the shelter when they discover that Grammy’s prize marlin is missing. The stuffed fish was only worth sentimental memories. Or was it? Rumors of a treasure map spark Bowser and Birdie’s interest. Can they solve the mystery?

Like Spencer Quinn’s series for adults, this middle grade novel is narrated by Bowser the dog. That part of the story is cute and feels right, although it can get over done, especially as the good reaches the end. The human characters are just as well drawn and lovely. Unfortunately, the plot is very uneven with a slow start and a rush to wrap things up that leaves a major plot thread unanswered.
