What We Are Reading: November



It is one of my favorite posts!!!! And I figure better late than never at this point haha. Geez life and everything seriously got in the way this last month. I thought I wasn't reading all that much but indeed I actually was this past month since October.

My most recent books included...


I LOVED this book. Much more than I thought I would. I do not own my own business but I found this book to be very inspiring. It had a lot of great stories from women who own their own business and how they rose above. Even though I work for a corporation, being just my own boss in life, it really rang true. Between this book and How to be BadAss, well they have really changed my outlook on being positive in all things. I highly recommend this book and be your own #GirlBoss.



Just like the last book I read from James Patterson, with the same feel, I read this book in one day! It was quick and easy but the ending just happened. The chapters were short and you knew the ending was happening and then it was over. No real explanation just over. It was a fun read and I love books like this from James Patterson. I love the short and sweet chapters because it makes it quick and I feel like I am really accomplishing a book. The story was heart warming and I love the past and present implications it had. I also hear that this book was a movie too.


I have read the other bestsellers from this author and really loved them and this book did not disappoint. It took me a little bit to dive into this book. I had a hard time getting into the story and I had to keep putting it down and then picking it up. BUT once I picked it up I got really into it. It had a really interesting story behind it. The main character was a bit of a baby for me. She was whiny, but the other characters were amazing. The depth of the story and how it played out made me extremely happy and that main character I was not happy with, I ended up loving!! And she had me cheering for her and her happiness. This really was a great book, I recommend not giving up with it.


Because it was Halloween time and I really wanted to take a walk down memory lane, I ordered this book from online since I LOVED it so much as a kid. I remember taking this book out of the library and reading each story and just falling in love with the short stories. I would read aloud the really scary ones and rereading the funny ones to my grandparents. I got the book and all those awesome memories came flooding back. AHH the memories. This book is great have for me as just a memory alone.

And my final book, which I just finished today and LOVED.



Nancy over at This Crazy Life of Mine highly recommended this book to me. I was waiting forever for it to come at the library and it finally did and I was thrilled. I started it the beginning of the month and I finally had some time to finish it. Another great and fast read. OH man was this book juicy!!! It followed a group of women and how their lives all intertwined without even knowing it. The last few pages of the book I LOVED and couldn't have asked for a better way to end the book, I mean seriously I was blown away. I  have never read anything from this author and now she is on my list of authors I love. I can not wait to read more from her. Make sure you check out Nancy's blog because she has the best recommendations. And go out and take out this book now!!!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
