Fabulous Ideas for Flea Market Finds (Memories in the Making Series)
Review Date: 7/24/2012
Helpful Score: 2


I was a bit disappointed with this book. Sure it's purpose was to give you ideas with how to turn your junk into treasure, but the way I saw it, they turned a lot of treasure into tacky pieces of junk. I hate giving bad reviews, and I seldom do, but this book should not have the name "Fabulous" in front of it and put "Gaudy" instead.

This book was so funny and touching. I even cried at the end. Tears of joy. It woke up my imagination with it's beautifully painted mental pictures. I suggest this book to anyone who loves a good Cinderella story and a little bit of fab thrown into the mix.

This book was given to me by my mother when I was in high school, so it's actually quite perfect for the teenage girl or young woman dealing with a strange confusing world that abruptly confronts you as if from out of nowhere. It answers questions she might be too afraid to ask her parents or anyone else when it comes to dating, her body, social life and so much more.

"Down to earth and incredibly informative. It's everything you wished you big sister or best friend had told you about navigating the real world." -Jennifer Weiner, Author of Good in Bed and the Guy Not Taken: Stories (Review on back of book.)

It's perfect for the girl who much rather would like to read for information rather than go about asking other people. All in all, it was a Godsend when I was in high school because it debunked so many ridiculous stories I heard from class mates who didn't know what they were talking about, which could be dangerous for a young, naive girl.


He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys
Review Date: 5/28/2012


At the beginning of the book I was like, "Eh... I don't know about this." But the longer I read the more interested I was. It took me only 3 days to get through it. I'd read it before going to work, at work, after work, before I went to bed. I couldn't put it down.

I've had this book in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom used to read it to me when I was a little girl, and as I grew older she would read it to my younger brother before she tucked him into bed. A simple, heart lifting book.

I really liked this book. I went on a self-help-shopping-spree after I huge break up with a guy that left me devastated. This is one of the books that helped me on my path to recovery.

This book is amazing! It pokes at your curiosity and tickles your emotions. You don't know what you're going to feel after you turn the next page. This was a book I couldn't put down. I had to keep reading till the very end.

This was an awesome book. I was able to relate to it very well, but even if it's something you don't relate to, it's still an interesting read.

I have read this book 3 times! This is my go-to guide when I'm feeling a little unsure of myself. This book puts so much into perspective.

I loved this book. I thought it was funny and insightful that I just had to share it with my best friend in California. I ranted and raved about it till I finally decided to mail it to her. She shared the same opinion.
