I was approached regarding this really great Kickstarter project, and just had to share it with all of you! A young boy named Donovan has Bi-Polar, Asperger's, and ADHD - which he refers to as his "dark side" due to his love of Star Wars. He wants to write a book, with the help of some trusted adults, that explains these disorders from the child's side of things. When you back this project, you can help bring a new perspective to these disorders!

Lust Takes The White House by Benson Grayson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I just couldn't see past the plethora of spelling, grammatical and editing errors to truly enjoy this book!! On the 5th page, "Pergamon" is spelled "Pergamum" AND "Pergamom", and it took me until the third or so chapter before I could safely identify that it was indeed supposed to be spelled "Pergamon." There was also "Back" instead of "Buck"; "There" instead of "Their"; and at one point, the use of Pergamon's name instead of Tammy's when referring to Tammy! It had the overall effect of making me feel like I was reading a very very rough draft, and all of the errors detracted from the story. Several sentences also seemed to be repeated throughout, as if they were only put in there as filler rather than substance. This book just doesn't feel professional, and I was wholeheartedly disappointed with it. If the entire book were completely cleaned up, there is a decent plot idea hidden here, but it REALLY needs some cleaning!!!!

Flush This Book: True Tales of Bodily Malfunctions by S. Jane Gari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is chock-full of hilarious facts and anecdotes about a function we all inevitably do - poop. You're guaranteed to laugh out loud at least once throughout this book!! My stomach started to hurt in sympathy, or perhaps just because I was laughing so hard. Impressively gag-worthy yet totally hilarious, these are great stories to keep handy in your own bathroom. Not only that, but purchasing this book donates to the World Toilet Organization, a nonprofit that provides toilets to places that don't have them!
For the e-book version that I read, some of the font is a little off - even after adjusting it on my Nook, there was some font so small that it was almost impossible to read. But overall this was a great read and I highly recommend it!! Crap-tastic!! ;)

Friday night, my husband and I got back from our first major vacation in almost 6 years... we went to Florida!! Woot! It was absolutely beautiful, and we got to visit family and explore some of Orlando and Miami. Of course, it was a terrible shock to go from lovely 70-80 degree weather to 10-20 degree weather with snow here in Nebraska, but whatever.
Anyway, so sorry I haven't posted, but I wanted to soak up as much sun as I could while I was away! :) I've got a pretty big stack of books to catch up on, but hopefully I'll get some more books up here soon.
