I really enjoyed this book! It was another one that I had trouble putting down, especially towards the end! I heard about this one from a book podcast and the two hosts were raving about it. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that it was going to be a thriller(not sure whether I got that from the podcast or another review)...and though I felt anxious at times, I wouldn't really call it a thriller. There were definitely "The Shining" vibes throughout and I was also reminded of a short story that was by Stephen King as well called "1408" (now THAT was one creepy tale!). This is a pretty quick read, and I would definitely recommend it.

I picked up this book at a convention and I'm so glad that I finally got around to reading it. For a long time now, people have been telling me that I am selling myself short. I am hoping that the notes I took while reading this book will be just the kick I need to get on a more fitting level. While I'm not 100% sure what steps I'm going to take, this book has really inspired me to take charge of my photography service pricing.

I couldn't put this book down!! I bought this on sale at a bookstore on impulse just because I saw zombies and I am SO HAPPY that I picked it up! I had no idea this was Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead in one book, neither of which I had read before. It was action packed throughout and so intense! My only complaint is that a few scenes seemed to be repeated between book one and book two. For example, theres a scene in the first book where the "ghouls" devour a person and the narrator describes that the ones that had gotten a piece of human meat take it off to the side to enjoy it in peace with the others looked on like a pack of dogs. This scene reappears in the second. I highly recommend this book to any zombie fan! Both endings are absolutely amazing, so prepare yourself for them! :)

LOVE this volume! I highly recommend it! It was a quick read with fantastic artwork that kept me laughing the whole time. I can't wait to get my hands on vol. 2!

This was everything I was hoping it would be :)

It took me a while to get into this book. I can't say that I was ever "hooked" but it was a good read. I really enjoyed the chapter about her two boys and the chapter about her visit to Haiti.

A story of loss, bad timing, complications, and unfortunate situations. This book is a good read, but make sure you are in the right mindset to digest a very sad tale.

A sad but beautiful story about the wake that suicide leaves and how a best friend dealt with it. This is another book that I would recommended to everyone.

There are just no words... This is a MUST READ for everyone!

I liked this book and I would say that it was definitely worth reading...but my goodness. If she complained one more time about her weight I was going to scream. The first chapter totally turned me off and I almost put it down. But as usual, I continued reading hoping that it would get better. Luckily, it did, but I still found it rather annoying. I liked that it wasn't really a book, but rather a collection of short essays. Mindy does a great job making you feel her awkwardness in certain situations, which I also liked. Overall, I thought that she just came off as snobby and whiney. This book did, however, make me want to check out her acting and watch The Office (which, embarrassingly, I haven't checked out yet...).
