A Year in the Life of Internet Dating by Samatha Thorne

Genre - Non Fiction/Memoir

Format - Kindle Unlimited 

Rating 5 stars out of 5


This book is a short easy read (only 41 pages.) I found it very amusing and it really spoke to me because I have tried online dating and I am about the same age as the author was when she tried it. 


This book is a kind of how to for internet daters. It has a lot of things to watch out for and cold hard facts about internet dating. One of the things is to make up who your ideal man is before you start on a site. If someone does not meet critical factors in your ideal man than just click the next button. 


The author keeps it light and funny. I will warn my US readers that this was written by someone overseas. So while some of the wording may seem odd to us it is common overseas.


The only thing I didn’t like about her journey down this path is she always met the men at pubs/bars. I have found a nice dinner out where you both drive separately to the destination is easier to get to know someone than a noisy pub/bar. I really did like her frankness and the suggestions she put at the end of the book on date ideas and things to ask a person while getting to know them.


Reviewers note - Sometimes people struggle for years with internet dating and some get lucky and meet a really nice person right off the bat. I was lucky and met someone right away that clicked with me. We are just friends at this point but sometimes that is for the best.

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
