A Dog's Purpose Boxed Set
A Dog's Purpose Boxed Set

Review:For once, I enjoyed the movie more than the book. The reason? The book is written in first person, from the dog's viewpoint. I found that approach doesn't work. Being narrated by the dog, the big challenge of painting the scene and carrying the narrative is left up to the literary skills of the animal. The problem is that the dog is still a dog with all of its limitations of English expression, and comprehension. So you have the dog using words like, "ignominy," "redolent," "excavated," express...

All the Best Things About Being in a Wedding - The Best Ever Ring Bearer

Review:This book with be carried by my great- nephew who will be about 21 months old when he will be a ring bearer at my daughter's wedding in October. There will also be an older ring bearer who will actually carry the rings on a pillow. We were trying to figure out what little Mason could carry.

Everything you Need to Start Drawing Right Away! (Christopher Hart's Manga for the Beginner)

Review:I recently bought this for my niece as a birthday gift, she loved it.
The only thing I was upset about was when I received the package, on the cover of the book at the corner, it was ripped. I wish whom ever handled the book, would've handled it with a little more care. Read more

Easy-to-Follow Lessons for Creating Your Own Characters
Easy-to-Follow Lessons for Creating Your Own Characters

Review:My daughter is really into anime series and loves to try to draw characters, so I thought this was perfect. I was right, she loves it, takes it with her everywhere she goes and draws instead of playing on her smartphone. Pretty good deal to me! I don't draw in it but I do draw pencil sketches myself, and I have to say it's a really nice little instructional book with clear, concise examples that guide you through drawing your characters and making them look (anime) realistic. Definitely recommen... Read more

and Simplify (Updated and Revised) - A Minimalist Guide to Declutter

Review:I like her attitude. She's not a tyrant about getting rid of "stuff", but provides easily understood direction on how to approach minimizing. After reading only a couple chapters I attacked one closet and it's such a pleasure to open that door now. Amazing how obtaining a little space can be so satisfying. Read more

A Grayscale Adult Coloring Book of Animals - Beautiful Creatures

Review:I hardly ever write reviews about anything but felt I couldn't help but tell everyone about this book. It is amazing! I am a beginner when it comes to colouring only having used felt tip pens and having two colouring books before this one but after seeing some before and after pictures from this book I became intrigued and ordered it, even though the shipping cost more than my two original colouring books! (I'm in the UK). I bought some regular pencils and started my first picture in Beautifu... Read more
