Blog Tour: Artful Eating: The Psychology of Lasting Weight Loss

July 8, 2018 by Ann Marie 7 Comments

Artful Eating

The very first thing I noticed about this book is how absolutely stunning it is! In addition to the gorgeous photos on the cover, the entire book is printed on heavy, quality paper and has a definitely gift-worthy feel. On the inside, the photography is just as beautiful. But if you're expecting page after page of greens salads, you'll be surprised. Yes, there are plenty of ripe, beautiful ...

Audiobook Review: West Cork (And Audible Giveaway!)

June 20, 2018 by Ann Marie 5 Comments

I seem to be on quite a roll when it comes to audiobooks lately. I'm beginning to know straightaway if it's going to work or not. One of the things I love about Audible is that if it isn't, I can exchange the book, free of charge, for another. Fortunately, I haven't had to do that in a while. West Cork is my third five-star audiobook in a row. I first heard about this book while standing in one ...

Blog Tour: You All Grow Up and Leave Me by Piper Weiss

April 19, 2018 by Ann Marie 10 Comments

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for You All Grow Up and Leave Me. I was immediately drawn in by the blurb and cover. The true crime buff in me couldn't resist this book about a young women's experience with Gary Wilensky, a child predator who preyed on the young of Manhattan's elite families in the 1990's. I have to be honest. This book is a tough one for me to review. There were many ...

Throwback Thursday: Born to Run

December 14, 2017 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

Born to Run

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I only started blogging about two years ago. Therefore, I have lots of old favorites to talk about. While I may not remember all of the details needed to write a complete review, I’m happy to share the ...

Review of Sober Stick Figure: A Memoir by Amber Tozer

July 29, 2016 by Ann Marie 2 Comments

  Amber Tozer is super-funny, brutally honest comedian who has bravely chosen to share her story of alcoholism and recovery with the world. If you're thinking this is another super-heavy memoir that will leave you feeling  nothing but depression and pity, just take a look at the cover. That sick figure version of Amber makes frequent appearances throughout the book... In a very real ...

Review of “Free Days with George: Learning Life’s Little Lessons from One Very Big Dog” by Colin Campbell

April 21, 2016 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: I own a Newf. Therefore, there was little to no chance this book was getting less than five stars no matter what. But I'm happy to say those five stars are well-deserved! I read this book in less than a day. It's a fast-feel good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Colin Campbell was a man who'd hit a rough spot in life. His wife, the love of his life, left him suddenly and with no ...
