Inspiring True Story - My Review of Walk to Beautiful

Written by: Jimmy Wayne with Ken Abraham            

Published by: W Publishing Group

I have to admit that I didn’t know who Jimmy Wayne before I received this book to read and review – even though I’m a lover of country music. I am really happy that I decided to read and review Walk to Beautiful, though, as I found that it is a powerful and inspirational story of a young boy’s rough life – and, I found that I really do know some of Jimmy’s songs, I just didn’t know they were by him.

Who the book is for:

Those who know and love Jimmy Wayne or those who are just looking for an inspiring read. Adults only because of some of the dark and heavy content.

What I liked:

This story is powerful, really powerful.

The author is so open and honest when sharing about his past and his feelings.

Kept me interested at all times.

Inspired me to want to do something for others, to help those in foster care.

What I didn’t like:

These is nothing in particular that I didn’t like about this book.

My conclusion:

Overall, this is an inspiring read.

I give Walk to Beautiful 5 out of 5 stars.

Interesting (and Pointless) Book of Sayings - My Review of Furry Logic

Written by: Jane Seabrook               

Published by: Ten Speed Press

I enjoy reading through the sayings and inspiration on Pinterest, so I thought that Furry Logic might be a fun choice to read through and review. I was a bit disappointed.

Who the book is for:

Animal lovers might enjoy the illustrations.

What I liked:

The size of this book is cute.

The pictures are cute.

Some of the sayings made me smile.

What I didn’t like:

I don’t really understand what you would really want this book for… who is going to read it more than once?

The quotes are better suited for cards or something.

Pinterest has a lot more to offer than this book does – and most of these sayings can be found there, too.

My conclusion:

Overall, I don’t really understand the point of this book.

I give Furry Logic 3 out of 5 stars.
