The Romance Bookie

Hey! In my neighborhood we have this cool book box!  In it we can put books in and take a book when we see something we want to read ourselves.  I love this thing!  I look into multiple times a week, to see if there is anything new; I've put a few in myself too.  Out of that box, I recently found Drew Barrymore's memoir, Wildflower.   I have always loved Drew Barrymore's movies!  Especially the ones she does with Adam Sandler!   Blended is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time!  In fact I watched it last night with my husband for like the hundredth time!  So I was really excited to read her memoir! A lot of us have heard the notorious stories about Drew Barrymore's childhood.  So I was really intrigued to hear her story from the person who actually lived it herself. From Goodreads: Wildflower is a portrait of Drew's life in stories as she looks back on the adventures, challenges, and incredible experiences she's had...

Hey Everyone! So I have a little background story to tell, before I go into this review. I am currently taking a Chicanos class for my upper division classes, that will get me my B.A. in Early Childhood Studies next Spring (2017).  This is a class that is supposed to be focusing on the adolescence sides of the Chicano culture.  Instead of a textbook to buy this semester, we were told to buy three literature novels that we would be reading this semester. Two weeks ago we were given our first novel, which was a book called The Tequila Worm  by Viola Canales.  This was a fairly small book, written for a middle school audience, so it wasn't too bad finishing it in two weeks.  Keep in mind, we have three other classes, equaling a full load of units for the semester, and I am in a program went for working adults who can't go to school during the day time, so we meet up twice a week in the evenings for class time. Anyway, the Thursday before this last Thursday,...

But I give it 5 Bookies!! I finished my last book for the year!! And I also finished the year with a possibly busted computer!! Which means I'm stuck using my brother's Dell, until I can make it to a near by Mac Store ;(, I miss you Maccie!!! I can't believe I did it! I honestly thought I was going to have to count this one for next year already, but I did it!! So I know in quite a few places it is already 2013, for instance my mom and I just celebrated the New Year with a friend from Germany, who celebrated their New Years at 3 p.m. (West Coast time, US). Well, Anyway, it pretty much is the New Year here too...SO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Anyway, I read Bossypants by Tina Fey, over these past couple of days. Now, normally I'm honestly not a fan of non-fiction novels, but I've been wanting to read this one for ages!! Okay, since 2011 when it was released... ;) From Goodreads : Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "...
