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.

I am not a traveler. I'm a mom, who started a direct sales business and I work from home and care for my children and my husband. I love my direct sales business, and it's ended up opening some doors for me. In February I traveled to Philadelphia for an Empower Me Pink mini training. It was thrilling and stressful and amazing all at once. Now I am headed to Las Vegas, NV in just over a week. Las Vegas! I can't believe it. A small-town girl from Maine is going to Las Vegas for a jewelry convention. Just after I purchased my ticket, I found "How To Pack- Travel Smart for Any Trip" By Hitha Palepu on Blogging for Books. It was a sign. I had to have it. Who doesn't want less stress when they travel? The time was now, I picked up the book and devoured it.  There is extremely practical advice in this book. Some of the book is not for me. I'm not a business traveler, but a lot of it can be adapted for my particular instance. This lady is clearly much more p

I got this in audio book form and it written by Lisa Yee and read to us by Mae Whitman. For starters, Mae Whitman did a phenomenal job reading this book. She was perfect. The book itself, I had a bit of trouble getting into the story at first, only because my children were definitely too young for it (3 year-old girl and 8 year-old boy) and I was trying to answer a lot of their questions. The story itself was very uplifting and I think would be a wonderful book for younger girls. Learning that being unique isn't bad. I think it addresses a lot of issues that girls are faced with in a positive way. I will be hanging onto this book, because I'm sure it will be loved. **I received this book free for reviewing purposes, however all opinions are my own.

*Possible Spoiler Alert* This was a really cute book by Tania del Rio.  There was a contest and I was given this book as a prize. I wasn't sure what it was about when I started reading it, but it's a great book. I think my kids would enjoy it also. It's not a book for grown ups necessarily but if you can appreciate a good story, you'll like this book. Poor Warren is an orphan being raised by his inattentive uncle and evil aunt is a run down hotel that he will inherit someday. Nobody has been the the hotel in years, when one day they get a strange guest. After that Warren finds out about his heritage and courageously saves his friends and the hotel. I received this book for free but all opinions are honest and my own.
