What We Have One Family's Inspiring Story About Love, Loss & Survival by Amy Boesky



I love to read.
When I get the chance to review a book I do it.
I will read all types of literature.
Basically, I love it all.

What We Have One Family's Inspiring Story About Love, Loss and Survival by Amy Boetsky is the most recent book I was asked to review.

Basically the book centers around Boetsky's family, specifically the women. Most women in her family have had some of breast cancer that has cut their life short.

Boetsky narrates this memoir with such ease that she draws the reader in immediately. She allows you to get to know her family, their quirks, their hearts and their nature of dealing with the horrors of cancer.

I did not fall in love with this book but I went on the emotional journey with Boetsky when her mother is diagnosed with cancer. She does well in describing the ups and downs of living with cancer in the family. Truly a memoir to not miss. Heartwarming yet hearbreaking.

Tell me, what have you read lately?

Vtech Voices bring you: Tips For Encouraging Our Kids to Read

Hola readers! I want to talk to you about this great VTech V.reader again. I love it. Recently, my son & I received the Toy Story 3 game to go in the reader. OMG! He hasn't put it down. At all. He's asked to take it to bed with him & in the tub. Since it isn't water proof & I would like him to sleep I have had to deny him this luxury. One thing that I am finding that is working on him constantly wanting to play with his reader is I do not turn the tv on. Nope. Not on. When we come home at the end of the day, I make sure the reader is left somewhere he can see it, I walk past the tv w/o turning it on & he spies the reader. He then asks to use it. Sits on the floor behind our coffee table & reads, reads, reads. I hear him giggling as I cook dinner. The VTech V.reader definitely keeps him engaged! Guess what?!? I have another VTech V.reader to giveaway. Holla! All you need to do is post your tip on how to get your kids to read! T...
