Driving grandpa. What an awesome book. Elderly folk are awesome and always say things that make you laugh. They just don’t care what comes out their mouth. I started reading this book and had a hard time putting it down when I had to. My growling stomach when I was supposed to be cooking dinner for my family wasn’t as interesting as this book.

The book starts off about a year after grandma passes away. Relatives tried to stay with grandpa but said he was just too ornery, like living with a grizzly bear being attacked by hornets. Grandpa is described as a 90 year old WWII veteran that is unable to drive anymore. The grandson telling the story said the last time he let grandpa drive, he forgot to hit the breaks. Grandpa told grandma he was sitting at a red light and the car on front of him put it in reverse and hit the gas hitting him. Lol. One of my favorite stories in this book.

Well the grandson got a job at the bank going to abandon houses to change the locks. He started taking grandpa with him every day. He stopped to get grandpa one day and found him walking miles from his house saying your crazy uncles tried to put me in a nursing home. Which was actually just an apartment.

Grandpa tells him war stories all the time as they hang out during the day. When he gets questioned about some of his stories he gets defensive. It makes me laugh. This book will have you fall in love with grandpa. But if I told all the funny  stories in this book, there would be no point in buying it. Brace yourself for the ending though. I highly recommend this book. I loved it.

Oscar the Seagull

Oscar the Seagull

This book tells the story of how Oscar the seagull was born different than his siblings. He has blue feet. He was slower to learn also. He tried and tried to learn how to fly. One day his family left him. They were afraid of the men with trucks who were cutting down trees.
After the family left, a sheepdog and an eagle protected Oscar. Oscar never gave up trying to learn how to fly. But you must read this book to know what happens at the end.
I read this book to my 6 year old daughter. She really enjoyed this book. I asked her if she would want me to read it to her again one day and she said, Yes!!
I also enjoyed this book. I liked the smile on my child’s face at the end of the book. It teaches kids to never give up. The illustrations are also very nice. I highly recommend this book.

Sabotage

Sabotage

This book tells about how it can be difficult to date people with commitment issues. If you are unsure if a person has this issue, this book lists many behaviors that you can watch for. You do not want to be deceived by that person.
Some are as follows:
Cruel when confronted of their lies. Builds you up one min and tears you down the next. Overbearing when they try to get you to believe them. Desperately wants you to believe they are the one. Gets upset if you don’t reciprocate their affection. Makes promises but delivers on few of none.
There are many more ways listed in this book to detect a person with commitment issues and lists ways you can protect yourself from them.
Such as : Carefully listen to what is being said. Don’t rush to give them your heart. Watch their behaviors and who they hang out with. Trust your intuition and don’t doubt yourself. Don’t be so emotional. Don’t be too quick to tell them your secrets and desires.
I recommend this book to anyone out there dating and trying to find the right person for themselves.

After college I went to several interviews with little success. I am still at the same job I was at before I went to college. I got this book to help me land the job I went to college for. There are tips in this book that I never thought of such as after the interview, send a thank you note. And again express your interest in the job.
After reading the resume tips, I am redoing mine. It states that you must have a cover letter. If you are entry level, your resume should only be one page. Fonts used on resumes should be easy to read.
As far as interview tips this book says you should practice your interview. You should arrive prepared. You should have a friendly first impression. Follow their dress code and make eye contact.
This book also has tips on what to do after you land the job. They will be very helpful in my success. Such as take notes during meetings. Avoid office gossip and be a team player.
This book has many more tips. I just listed a couple that stood out most to me. The set up of this book is pretty neat. Its in color and makes it more interesting to your eyes. I recommend this book to anyone out their job/career hunting.

Ana Frankens Life of Termoil

Here is a great book for you to check out.
https://www.amazon.com/Life-Turmoil-Stories-Franken-08150017-ebook/dp/B075PMH9FH/ref=la_B00N8EB3J2_1_3_twi_kin_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509455336&sr=1-3

This book tells a sad story of how Ana Franken sought to be loved by her mother her whole life. Her mother had a bad life and always took it out on Ana.

Ana’s mothers life went down hill around age 13 when she choose to sleep w a man and got pregnant. Took him away from a family he already had. He despised her and their first born child becoming an alcoholic and an abusive husband.

Ana looked just like her dad so her mother took out her bad life on Ana. Ana was verbally and physically abused her whole life. Even her 3 brothers blamed everything they did on her. Got her in more trouble with her mom. Now matter how good of a child she was her mother never loved her.
When Ana grew up she got married and had a family of her own. She was wealthy beautiful and smart. Yet she still kept going back to see her mother hoping for her approval and love. She eventually tried to stay away from her mother but had a dream she lost her house. Ana went back and saved her home. Ana’s mother still didn't love her. Ana finally decided to stay away from her mother forever.

I enjoyed this book. It was sad and emotional but it ends on a happy note. I am so glad Ana finally decided to never see her mother again.

Intervention



Over population, global warming and food shortages have caused the American government to devise a plan that only allows for the survival of 7% of the world’s population—the handpicked elite. Among this group is Christopher Adams.

Christopher grows up with kind and loving parents who are devoted to each other. His father is an insurance salesman and his mother is a stay-at-home mom. Just your average hard-working American couple…who just happen to raise an extraordinary son.

At 12, Christopher is accepted to MIT, and by the age of 21, he is recruited by the CIA. Solving puzzles and decrypting codes come very easily to Christopher. His mind is so advanced, it almost seems as if he is from another world.

When Christopher finds out about the governments plan, Operation Down-size, he is horrified by the thought of billions of innocent lives being sacrificed to save the elite 7%. He knows he must stop Operation Down-size, but the puzzle is how?

Cindy, an astronaut and a member of the 7%, joins in Christopher’s quest. Thankfully, they have help: an alien spacecraft, equipped with a highly advanced artificial intelligence created by a highly advanced alien race.

Thousands of years ago, a highly advanced alien race on a mission of exploration discovered Earth. They could see, even at this early stage of development, that the human race was advancing its technology faster than it was maturing in compassion and wisdom—a combination that would one day lead to disaster. The aliens decide to intervene by implanting an altered gene code into several of the primitive females that would be passed down from one generation to the next for activation at a later time. The spacecraft was left hidden until the time was right to intervene further in order to save humans from themselves. That time has come.

Together, Christopher and Cindy, utilizing the spacecraft’s advanced technologies, seek to save the world and dismantle Operation Down-size. One question remains: Can they do it in time?
