Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3) Review

Recently I read Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3) written by James Patterson. There is no doubt that this book is well written with well loved characters. I, myself, have a hard time connecting with any of them on a personal level. I find I'm more wrapped up in the whodunnits. These are definitely the type of book I enjoy, however, I like to be able to guess who is the bad guy. Sometimes I feel like they're throwing so many characters and details at you at once that you don't have a prayer of sorting them out, which was the case for me in this book. They were fairly blunt about Jill but there were many questions about her that I wanted answered that weren't. Why she felt the way she did, etc. I really felt that we could have benefitted from more of a backstory on Jack and Jill. There was a lot going on in this particular book, but I still enjoyed reading it. I'm definitely going to continue with this series.

First, this is not the type of book I usually go for. I am not artistic in the least bit. I am crafty, but seeing things in my head and getting them to come out on paper or otherwise has always been a challenge for me. Needless to say, I wasn't very hopeful, but it looked like so much fun, how could I resist? It's a very nice book. With good instructions, and great illustrations. I was surprised to find that it is not a small book. It's a nice big book so you can see what it is they want you to do. The written instructions were just okay, but if you just copy what the illustrations are telling you to do, even an art wannabe like me can make a pretty cool picture! I even bought a special little book to draw my fairies in. I think this is just as fun and relaxing as coloring, but you get to create something. Something of your own! So if you want to create something that's easy and fun, I definitely recommend this book. *I got this book for free in exchange for my re

Come As You Aren't- A Role Playing Game For Adventurous Couples

The presentation of this game is great. It comes in a small decorated cardboard box that slides out of it's cover with a silky gold-ribbon tab. The cards each have their own section. The game didn't really come with rules, but it seems pretty straightforward. There is a nice black envelope with the words "For Your Eyes Only" that appears you stick one of each of three categories of cards into. The categories are "Where", "What" and "Who". The back of the box indicates that you should leave the envelope for your partner to find. Those are the only real suggestions. The cards are all creative and fun. It's a cute game that I could see all types of couples playing. From new couples trying to get to know each other better, to seasoned couples who need something new and different. I think this game could make a great bachelor or bachelorette party present without being too embarrassing for either party. This game is still fun for shyer peo

Manga Art By Mark Crilley Review

This book is beautiful. Hands down. The illustrations are simply breath taking. Even if you aren't interested in drawing, this is a great book to admire. It takes you through step by step how to draw characters, backgrounds, etc. It even has a fun section about Sci-Fi. I liked getting to know the authors background a little bit, I thought that was a nice touch. It would make the perfect gift for the Manga lover in your life.  *I received this book in exchange for my review from Blogging For Books, but all opinions are my own.
