As I told you in my West With Giraffes book review, I am participating in the 2023 Goodreads Reading Challenge. Though I am reviewing every book I read this year on Goodreads, I have no intention of reviewing all of those same books on my blog. But I will review those that particularly speak to me here. Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson was definitely one of those. If Pamela … [Read more...] about Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson Book Review

West With Giraffes Book Review
In my youth and 20s, I was an avid reader. You could almost never catch me in my free time without a book in my hand or, at the very least, close by. As I aged, and my vision slowly started to deteriorate, I stopped reading. In fact, until September of 2022, I had not read the entirety of a book in perhaps 10 years. My eyes felt tired or I would get a headache and I would … [Read more...] about West With Giraffes Book Review
Chicken Soup For The Soul: Say Hello To A Better Body {Sponsored Book Review}
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Say Hello to a Better Body!: Weight Loss and Fitness for Women Over 50 by Dr. Suzanne Koven My rating: 4 of 5 stars Chicken Soup For the Soul books are always really good in my opinion.

“Night Road” by Kristin Hannah {Book Review}
Night Road ~ Night Road by Kristin Hannah My rating: 5 of 5 stars My first introduction to Kristin Hannah was the book "Firefly Lane." Admittedly, I bought the book because of the pretty cover (as all her books seem to have, I've since learned). But, as I soon realized when I read the book, it was fabulous! It did take me a while to get to another book by her, though, … [Read more...] about “Night Road” by Kristin Hannah {Book Review}
“High On Arrival” by Mackenzie Phillips {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
Mackenzie Phillips and High On Arrival ~ High on Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips My rating: 3 of 5 stars Wow. I think this was definitely the hardest autobiography I have ever read. I can't even really decide what my opinion is on this book. At moments I loved it and at moments I just felt so bad for Mackenzie that I had a hard time getting through the rest of the book. … [Read more...] about “High On Arrival” by Mackenzie Phillips {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
“Always Looking Up” by Michael J. Fox {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
Michael J. Fox ~ Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist by Michael J. Fox My rating: 4 of 5 stars I started reading this book really not knowing much at all about Michael J. Fox, except for the fact that he has Parkinson's Disease. Of course I knew that he was in "Family Ties" and "Spin City" (although I watched neither show), and I probably watched … [Read more...] about “Always Looking Up” by Michael J.

“A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
A Thousand Splendid Suns ~ A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is the story of two women from Afghanistan. This story is about the heartbreak and unique suffering that women in this area of the world must succumb to at the hands of men, societal judgments, and seemingly never ending war. It's horrifying to read what these two women … [Read more...] about “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
New Year Goals – Have You Stuck To Them?
New Year Goals ~ I was reading Living Off Love and Coffee's blog today and ran across this post about New Year Goals. She has a nice Google Calendar with her weekly blog goals on it. And they are color coded, which I LOVE! I have a planner that I use and I like to write which events that Cheap Is The *New* Classy will be part of and, guess what, they are color coded, … [Read more...] about New Year Goals – Have You Stuck To Them?
“From This Moment On” by Shania Twain {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
From This Moment On by Shania Twain My rating: 4 of 5 stars Who knew that this woman who once lived so far out in the bush in Canada and had such an impoverished childhood that food and running water was a luxury would grow up to be one of the top selling music artists of all time? I found her childhood story fascinating and not at all what I expected. She overcame … [Read more...] about “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
“On Mystic Lake” by Kristin Hannah {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
On Mystic Lake ~ I found this book to be very easy to get through and a fast page turner. On Mystic Lake is the second Kristin Hannah book that I have read and, although I didn't like it quite as well as I did "Firefly Lane," I did like this book quite a lot. There are many very likable characters in this book, especially Izzy. I also really like Nick and felt a lot of … [Read more...] about “On Mystic Lake” by Kristin Hannah {Book Review} #2012readingchallenge
