Lather Like Nobody’s Watching

 As an Avon Ambassador I am always excited when a new brochure comes out.  This latest book is all about hair.  I know everyone is a person who takes care of her care, whether it is to color it, moisturize it, cut it, style it....we all love a great hairdo.  But hairstyles dont look good unless your hair is fully nourished.  Are you looking for a shampoo/conditioner that will beautify your hair?  Avon has it all for you.  

We have a hair strengthening oil that nourishes.  

Do you have fine hair?  Try our strengthening shampoo and conditioner with rosemary mint,  Smells great.  

Have damaged hair?  Try our Organist damage care treatment - and we also have shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair.

Thats not all.  We have treatments for oily scalp and hair, or frizzies and split ends and even one for dry, curly hair.    

So why not check it out and order some for your hair.  You wont be sorry.

Review: I Want Your Family

I Want Your Family I Want Your Family by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a three book series and now I cant wait for Book #2 to come out.  If there was ever a twisted story, this is it.  One woman's obsession with a family she wants for her own, so she devises ways to do that.  Luna (should be called Lunatic) gets out of control as she slowly takes over to get rid of Sadie and claim Reid and his children as her own.  

This is a page turner and of course the ending leaves you wanting more so I am patiently waiting the release of the continuation of this story....Book 2 to be released this month.

Review: The Retirement Plan

The Retirement Plan The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenbergs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved it! If you want some laughs you must read this book.  Very close friends, four couples - friends since their children were young.  Now empty nesters and broke after an investment their husbands had fell through, the only way the wives will survive is to collect on their husband's life insurance policies.

We follow their attempt, not realizing the husbands have a plan of their own in motion.  Murder, suspense and laughs....great combination.

Review: And the Crowd Went Wild

And the Crowd Went Wild And the Crowd Went Wild by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think readers will go wild with this read.  Loved the story, loved the characters, and even loved Watch....Read the book to figure out who Watch is.  A little romance, drama and love mixed up in attitude, determination and grudges.  Loved the story between Clint and Dancy - and especially was tickled with the cute ending.

Another "cant put down" book by Phillips.

Review: It's Not Her

It's Not Her It's Not Her by Mary Kubica
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh wow.  What a roller coaster ride.  I didnt know who it was.  Every time I thought I had the plot answers, the next paragraph threw me off.  A quiet vacation for two close families, turned into a murder mystery.  Who dunnit? Nothing becomes clear until the very end.  After a while everyone looked guilty. 

But Courtney turned into a good detective even though some of the people (including family) she thought was the killer was innocent.  I would love to have a sequel to this book just to see how all this affected the children left behind.  

Mary Kubica - very well done!!  A real page turner.

Review: We Were Never Friends

We Were Never Friends We Were Never Friends by Kaira Rouda
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow what a roller coaster ride.  Sororities are like a secret society.  College friends are together, but what happens when secrets are kept?  20 years later they are bound to come out when the son of one girl marries the daughter of another.  And so there is a party but old wounds are coming to the surface and cant be kept down any longer.

Beth, Amelia, Roxy and Jaime come together for the engagement of Zach and Celeste, but things dont go as planned.  Secrets are unveiled and true feelings come out.  This was a great book from Hoover and she didnt disappoint in any way. When you are still thinking about a book way after you finish it, its a HIT!

Review: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Special 15th Anniversary Edition

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Special 15th Anniversary Edition The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Special 15th Anniversary Edition by Robin Sharma
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was recommended by a relative and while not in my genre, it was interesting and inspiring. I never knew what prompted people to give up all they had for a completely different life.  One where material things do not matter - and actually they dont, because we all leave this world with nothing.  If you are going through hard times right now, I would recommend this book to put you on a path that says, peace, kindness, love, and doing the right thing are all that matter.  With so much turmoil in the world today, maybe we all should read this book.

Review: Woman Down

Woman Down Woman Down by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing

Just when I thought I knew what was happening this book surprised me. I found myself saying “just one more chapter” . Nothing was what it seemed and I loved every second of it. Don’t know if I loved or hated Saint but that ending made me think - I need to read another Hoover book.

By the way Ms Hoover - what inspired you to write this story?
