Book works paradise
I love using Goodreads to keep track of all the different books I read. It is my favorite app, not just for setting and tracking goals, but for finding new authors, discovering new genres, and figuring out where a series starts. It has saved me hours and money by telling me in what order a series goes, as well as little inbetween stories to read. I love how simple and user friendly it is, and that you can sync it with your kindle

Thinner... Lizard... Pimples?
This is one of those movies that I can watch over and over. But let me be honest I really could watch the scenes with Joe Mantegna over and over. He is so good as Richie Ginelli in this movie. His stereo-typed portrayal of a mob boss is spot on and so much fun to watch. He is my favorite part of this movie and I can watch his performance several times ina row.

All that being said it is a good movie and the ending is terrific.

Short gameplay
I won this game in a Smashbomb giveaway and m my family has really enjoyed playing it. It's easily adaptable between 2 and 4 players. We laugh about the cards and have a great time.
Gameplay is short enough to hold the attention of my kids. They don't even get upset when they lose like they do with other games. It's a new favorite for sure. The only down side is that i wish the deck was just a little bigger... but I can always buy the expansion.

For my all time favorite silver screen movie, Harvey is a mix of beautiful comedy mixed with a good helping of heart. The story follows the lovable Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend, Harvey who never makes a physical appearance on screen but is never-the-less always felt. Stewart puts forth a beautiful and lighthearted (but somehow still touching) performance, the the surrounding cast never disappoints as they move through the film adaptation of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

I think my problem with this book was that I watched the movie first and I didn't realize how different the book was from the movie. This is my best friend's and my favorite movie and we have seen it at least half a dozen times. One of the reasons I loved the movie was for the humor and upbeat, inspirational tone that it had. The book really lacked that and that was something that really disappointed me. Probably if I had read it without those expectations, I may have enjoyed it more.

This book was one of my anticipated releases. I'm so glad I got to read it this year! It isn't one of my FAVORITE books but I did enjoy it and I decided to read more by this author like her other release From Twinkle, With Love which I also enjoyed. I really loved the format of that book. I admit by the end of the book most of the characters were getting on my nerves but by the end there was major character development so it was okay!
  
HG 1-2-3 is one of the easiest cooking cookbooks around. Simply delicious recipes that are low in calories, high in fiber, and Weight Watcher friendly. This is a great companion to other HG cookbooks and HG newsletter recipes. Add this to your cookbook collection and you won't regret it. It will become one of the most used and well-worn cookbooks in your collection. You are going to love the pizza-fied chicken, stuffed chick cordon bleu (my favorite), bacon ranch broccoli slaw, and greek chicken salad.

One of my best friends recommended this book to me at least a year ago. I bought the ebook, and only got through the first 30 pages before I put it down. Since reading it wasn't working out, I decided to get the audiobook from the library.
I really liked this novel, the descriptions of human life was amusing. Of course, the plot was fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed the book as a whole. The advice near the end was the best part, and it was my favorite. I would definitely read it again.

I totally agree about the advice at the end being the best part.

Very pleased.
I am a fan of Target. I love their selection of products at decent prices. The app makes it easy to shop & save. My favorite addition is the new Target Pickup service. I shop through the app & drive by to pick up my goods at my convenience. The items are brought out to my car& loaded in my trunk by the always friendly, helpful Target staff. It is the best service of its kind that I've used to date and I've been recommending it to everyone I know!
