Go the F**K to Sleep by Adam Mansbach

Publishers Description:

Go the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity.

With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, Go the Fuck to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.

My Review:

Awesome book! I loved it! I understood what this parent was feeling. I am a mother of 2 and have felt those feelings more then once.

This is not a book to be read to a child! It is a book of humor more for the parent. Great book for a gift to another parent or for a baby shower.

Every parent should be able to sympathize with these feelings.

Any Man of Mine By Rachel Gibson

Book Description From Publisher

What happens in Vegas . . . doesn't always stay there.

Autumn Haven's Las Vegas "to-do" list said to catch a show and play the slots—not wake up married to a sexy jerk like Sam LeClaire. The first moment she saw him eyeing her like a luscious piece of the dessert buffet, her usually responsible self told her to run. And she did—right into the wildest fantasy weekend of her life. But Monday morning jolted her back to reality, and before she could say "pass the coffee," Sam was gone.

Now a successful wedding planner, Autumn hasn't clapped eyes on the heartbreaking hockey superstar for over two years . . . until she organizes his teammate's "Special Day," where Sam makes a big play to pick up where he left off! But she has vowed any man of hers plays for keeps. Is Sam the man for her or does she banish him to the sin bin forever?

A very cute and loving short story of love between a mother and son. Having lost someone close to me I understand the feelings the son had. We all have unfinished business and this story is one of closure.

Prince William & Kate: A Royal Romance by Matt Doeden

Prince William & Kate: A Royal Romance (Gateway Biographies)

My Review:

Great love story! I loved the way this story was written. It was simple yet gave all info needed. The photos used were great as well. Who wouldn't want to see photos of the future King & Queen at their wedding?!?!?!
This book as did a great job explaining not only the lives of William & Kate but also the purpose of the monarchy.

Overall this is a great book for a 3-4 grader!

Church of Lies by Flora Jessop

From Publishers Weekly
It is difficult for any person not affiliated with a group like the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) to imagine the motivation for living in such a system. Jessop grew up within the strictures of the FLDS cult, subjected to its forced marriages and rampant sexual abuse. Her story is a harrowing but inspiring account of one womans determination to break free. She relates in rather stark terms the horror of growing up in the polygamous community, the many pleasures she was denied as a child as her elders pursued a pseudo-holiness, forbidding the joys of childhood but engaging in horrible acts of pedophilia. Following her own liberation, she has worked tirelessly and fearlessly to liberate those who want out of the group. Readers will be repelled at some of what Jessop has to say, but in the end, they will be heartened by her efforts to free others in the grip of the FLDS leadership. (Feb.)

My Review
I started reading this book knowing only the basics about polygamy. I am like other average Americans and have seen an episode or two of Sister Wives. I'd never heard of Flora Jessop. Very interesting book! I was blown away by the acts committed and detailed in this book. This story is raw. On a number of occasions I was shocked by what I read! Rape of little kids, prearranged marriages of kids fourteen and under (often to men 2 or 3 times their age), incest and inbreeding. Kids were taught that this, and much more, was actually required of them to escape damnation to hell and the only way they could get to Heaven.
I guess I felt like others... and thought "That doesn't happen in the USA." WoW! I was wrong! Even more powerful reading developed from the Jessop's attempts to save her family after her own escape. This was made difficult by her family members' fear of eternal damnation and fear for their own safety from others in the community. I commend Flora Jessop for having the courage to be able to tell her story. This book has made me think about how to help others in the same predicament as Flora was.

Definitely a must read! Read the book...
