Just A Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia

I read this book a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to post about it while I have a few minutes to spare today. I just want to start by saying that this book is absolutely hilarious! I laughed at the random jokes and the author's crude sense of humor about his dating life, his cats, and just life in general. This is a book that gives the author's view on many things about life with many jokes spread throughout it. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. The chapters are short, so it is an easy read for someone who only has a few minutes here and there to devote to reading. The illustrations are funny and often are a joke all on their own. If you are into crude humor or just want to see things from a guy's point of view, I definitely recommend reading this book!

Max on Life by Max Lucado Book Review

I read this book a while back, and I wanted to let everyone know what I thought about the book. It is a good book and an easy read. Max Lucado is a pastor in San Antonio, Texas that wanted a way to let his followers know the answers to some of the most popular questions that he has been asked about religion, family, finances, and everything in between. I am not a religious person and I was not as excited to read this book as I have been about others in the past, but I am glad that I did. There were questions that were answered in the pastor's own words, but he does not throw religious answers in mix, these answers are from the heart of a person who truly cares about people and wants things to turn out for the best at all times. I will be keeping this one on my shelves to look through when I need some answers to some of life's questions.

Departures by Robin Jones Gunn Book Review

Last weekend I had nothing to do, so I sat down to read a book that I was given to read and provide a review for, so I snuggled up on the couch and read this book. There were actually two books in this one, and they were both similar in that they took back to the days of my teenage years when young love was in the air and I had so many questions about how life was going to turn out for me.

In the first story, Now Boarding at Gate 10, Christy Miller is a teenager getting ready to go off to college that had to move away from her home town a few years before. She returns for a weekend to celebrate her grandparents wedding anniversary. While she is there, she rekindles some old feelings that she had for a crush before she left, finding out that he had the same feelings for her before she left. He goes to college near her to get closer to her. The story continues in a future installment of the series.

In the second story, In The Event Of A Water landing, Sierra Jensen is another teenager that goes off on a weekend vacation with her friend Jana and they both learn that boys are not as gross as they thought they were, and they even begin to have feelings for two of Jana's brother's friends. When Jana goes back to her hometown when the weekend is over, she can continue to get to know them.

When I was finished reading this book, I reminisced about my life during those difficult high school years, they seem farther away then I would like to admit:) I recommend this to anyone who likes to read nice, romantic stories and young love.
