Hi everyone,
I just recently changed my profile picture. Because I had a picture of a puppy, I was getting a lot of friendship requests from children. I think children are great and mine is 19, but since I am 44 years old I really just want to keep friends with other grown ups. So if you are a kid and I took you off it's nothing personal. Thanks.

  • Fidget to Focus: Outwit Your Boredom: Sensory Strategies for Living with Add   [FIDGET TO FOCUS] [Paperback]
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Everyone with AD/HD and everyone that coaches, teaches, works with or loves someone with AD/HD should read this book. It made more sense and echoed my feelings and my own intuition to the T.”

  • Mary Ann in Autumn
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I gave it four because I love Mary Ann and I love the Tales of the City books, but this one felt rushed and the ending was unsatisfactory. There were several interconnecting stories that should have been "aha!" moments for the characters when they realized them, but it just fizzled out.”

    • Rated 5 stars

    “I cannot recommend this book enough. If you are scared off by the subject matter, don't be. It's the most original work I have read in years. ”

  • Second Glance
    • Rated 5 stars

    “One of the best books I've read in a long time. Page turning story and intellectual edification with some ghosts and a love story. Good stuff.”

  • Burnt Offerings
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Loved it. I know a lot of people don't like that Anita becomes more sexual, but for me she's becoming a more well rounded character.”

  • Blindness
    • Rated 5 stars

    “At first I was put off by the lack of punctuation. But I realized that, if I paid attention it wasn't that difficult. It added to the feeling of the book because everytime, I would think, "hey, wait a minute, who is speaking" I realized that the author was making us a little blind also. It was so moving that I would go to sleep and dream about it. When I accidently left my copy at a friends house, I ran to the library to get another copy. Ironically, they only had the large print edition. weird. Highly recommended.”

  • The Dogs of Babel
    • Rated 4 stars

    “It's funny because I didn't really care about his relationship with his wife or any of that, only about the dog. I enjoyed the book a lot though. I'm just a supersensitive animal loving vegetarian so I get really mad when people's stupidity hurts animals. Paul lost my respect completely when he took Lorelei home, put her in the back yard and went back to the house.”

  • Skinny Bitch
    • Rated 5 stars

    “More like Sneaky B*tch. I don't want to give away the twist, although other's have, because if I'd have known I probably wouldn't have read it. Let's just say: I read it, I bawled my eyes out, and I am now a vegetarian. Seriously.”

  • Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I'm sorry to say that this book is really boring. I LOVE Diana Gabaldon and am one of those people who waits with bated breath for every Outlander book. With the exception of a couple of spicy man on man sex scenes, this is just one drawn out boring mystery where you can't keep all the people straight and you don't really care who dunnit. I guess she has the complete right to write whatever she wants and it must get kind of boring writing about Jamie (who shows up in this one a little) but if you are going to step outside of the story everyone is waiting for, why right about the same characters in the exact same time period. If you are going to do that, why not just write the next one in the series. It's as if J.K Rowling had become bored with Harry Potter, so she didn't release the next one but wrote three books about the life of Mr.Weasley. ”
