The Secret of Shady Glen - Nancy Drew Review

🎶  I read this book because I am trying to clear out my book shelves.  I have so many young adult/children books that I want to read as many as I can this year and to donate them to either a library, a classroom or even to an individual person.  

      I remember my sister reading these books when we were growing up.  I don't remember many of the ones that I read.  Even though I am an adult I still find books written for the young generation entertaining.  Especially when they were written before the technology we now have.

      I enjoyed this book as it was a very quick read and well paced.  I could see a young person enjoying this book and wanting to finish reading it.  The story was of a treasure hunt and figuring out who was committing the robberies in Shady Glen.  Even though Nancy is considered an amateur detective she knows how to look for clues.

      I hope that some young children will enjoy reading this book along with all of the Nancy Drew books.

Here's to you Rachel Robinson by Judy Blume

One thing about my blog is that I try to post all book reviews, whether they are new or old books. I know I haven't been posting them as much lately, it is just that I have been busy with the holidays and the new year. I am going to post most of my reviews that I wrote since May of 2009. Hopefully I will be better this year with posting all of them on time. Here are my thoughts on Here's to you Rachel Robinson, a kids book. You may wonder why I decided to read a kids/childrens book, well it is because I was doing a challenge last year and one of the categories was to read YA/Children books. It is nice to see what you think of a book that you had when you were little now that you are older. This is a very nice easy read for young pre-teens. I read the book just because I wanted a nice light easy read. I found myself laughing at the girls in the book as I remembered acting sometimes like them. Rachel Robinson is a 13 year old girl who is highly intelligent and loves to lear

Review-Stonger After Stroke

This is a book that I received from Library Things (LT) Member Giveaways. It is an Advanced Copy and there were some typographical errors which I expected. I found the book quite informative and very useful. Even though I have not suffered a stroke nor am I currently caring for some one I am glad to have had the opportunity to read the book and do my review. I have posted a review on LT and my forum. Stronger After Stroke is a great book to learn about helping someone that has suffered a stroke. You learn that you should push the limits yet be cautious and always consult your doctor. Peter Levine does a great job of explaining the recovery process in detail. I like how each section was set up the same so you knew what to expect as you read. You first learn the concept/idea and then you learn how it is done. The last part of each section you are given the Precautions that should be taken. If you consider yourself someone that wants to for armed with information than Stronger Af

Review - Paper Towns by John Green

Have you ever heard of Paper Towns? I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book by John Green. This book was recommended by an online friend from my website. I am glad I finally read it. I found the story very entertaining. The story made me think about my time in high school. Paper Towns is the story of teenagers and just them discovering things about themselves and their friends. How would you react if you just learned that your boyfriend and best girl friend were hooking up? Your friends knew but didn't bother to tell you? Would you just snap or would you do something like Margo Roth Spiegelman does in Paper Towns. Paper Towns follows Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman on an adventure and mystery. Q is the good kid and doesn't do anything wrong. Margo is the adventurous type. Two different personalities that were friends when the were young yet have grown apart like so many of us do over time. I suggest taking some time and pick up Paper Towns and jus
