Review: Two Girls and a Mouse Tale

Two Girls and a Mouse Tale by Elly and Caroline Collins

Release Date: August 30, 2014

Publisher: Theme Park Press

Genre: Non-fiction

Pages: 174 pages

Format: eBook

Buy It: Amazon

Elly and Caroline Collins aren’t just sisters; they’re best friends, too. So when Elly suggested that they join the Disney College Program together, Caroline went right along. They left their family and boyfriends in Colorado for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live, work, and play with Mickey Mouse.

Two Girls and a Mouse Tale is both diary and tutorial. It offers essential advice on how to get accepted into the Disney College Program, and how to avoid the pitfalls of working for Disney and living in its pressure-cooker environment. But mostly it provides a fun, witty, intimate account of a year spent in the pixie dust trenches of Walt Disney World, taking you behind the scenes, through the theme parks, and out the front gate into the dorm-like Disney apartments and the warts-and-all College Program community.

Caroline and Elly open their diaries and share:

What you absolutely must do to get accepted into the Disney College Program, and what you absolutely must never do
How to pick the best Disney apartment complex, what to pack, whether to enroll in Disney University, and everything else you need to start the program right
Disney roommate stories, including the notorious "Walk of Shame" and the girl who thought Brillo pads worked in the dishwasher
The pure joy of creating "Magical Moments" for park guests
An entire chapter about backstage tours of attractions like Haunted Mansion and Expedition Everest, with trivia only Cast Members know
Plus, glimpses into every aspect of DCP life, from Traditions and training to merchantaining and private Cast Member parties
These two girls really do have a mouse tale to tell. You'll love their honesty, their humor, and most of all their enthusiasm for the happiest place on earth.

After completing my college program in Fall 2013, I longed for more ways to connect with my Disney past and keep in in my present and future. After connecting with Elly Collins in a DCP Alumni group, I was excited to hear about her and her sister's experience during their program so I eagerly bought this ebook.

It was such a change to read about someone else's DCP experience. Not only did the Collins girls attend the WDW college program instead of my Disneyland program, but they attended as sisters and roommates which made for a unique experience.

I wish I had found a book like this before going on my program. They cover everything a potential DCP attendee needs to know, and give advice on things to avoid as well. Much appreciated!

Mini Review and Blog Tour: A Friend in Me

A Friend in Me: How to Be a Safe Haven for Other Women by Pamela Havey Lau

Release Date: June 1, 2015

Publisher: David C. Cook

Genre: Christian Non-fiction

Pages: 208

Format: Paperback

Buy It: Amazon

Young women long for relational connection with women further ahead of them on the journey. Yet, without realizing it, many of us tend to distance ourselves from those in younger generations. Can we really have close relationships with women who have different thoughts on church, different experiences with family, and different ways of talking about God? Where do we start?

In A Friend in Me, Pam Lau shows you how to be a safe place for the younger women in your life. She offers five patterns women need to internalize and practice for initiating relationships and talking about issues such as faith, forgiveness, sexuality, and vocation. Most significantly, she reminds you that there doesn’t need to be a divide between generations of women. Together, we can have a global impact—and experience a deeper faith than we’ve ever known.

I've been craving more connections with Christian women in my life, so I was eager to review this book. While it is mainly targeted at the older generation of women, this book holds many tips for women of all ages to help increase their connections.

Whether you have many Christian women to share your soul with, or none, this book gives realistic tips and examples of ways both generations of women can help each other connect. If you are of the younger crowd, Pamela explains the signals that can turn the older women off from being close with us. If you are of the older generation, she gives ways to really get us younger women to open up to you.

If you are craving new connections, or simply want to deepen the ones you are already a part of, this book is a great read for you.

Review: The Icing on the Cake

The Icing on the Cake: A Novel by Janice Thompson

Release Date: August 15, 2013

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Romance

Series: Weddings By Design #2

Pages: 320 pages

Format: eBook

Buy It: Amazon

Scarlet isn't sure if she has just the right ingredients for true love--or utter disaster

Scarlet Lindsey is busy making her dreams come true. She's moved her bakery to a prime spot on Galveston's most popular street, she's planning an extravagant cake for her best friend's wedding, and she has a great relationship with Bella Neeley, the island's most popular wedding coordinator. Business is booming and Scarlet is enjoying the ride.

But when Bella's dangerously handsome brother Armando breezes into her life, Scarlet is faced with a sticky situation. Should she stay with the safe, sweet guy who's been a fixture in her life for years? Or will this brash Italian hunk melt her guarded heart?

Once again. the beautiful families, friendships, and romances in this series are evident and entwined throughout the entire novel. While this book is the second in the series, it is a different main character than the first book so you don't need to read the first one if you don't want to.

I loved Scarlet's story more than Hannah's, partially because of the food tie-ins and partially because she is just so lovable! Her self-talk is so relatable and many times I wished I could just give her a big hug. The relationship between her and Armando was realistic, which is refreshing when so many romance novels are predictable.

If you're looking for a sweet romance where family is the icing on the relationship, pick up this book!

Review: How to Raise Your Parents

How to Raise Your Parents: A Teen Girl's Survival Guide by Sarah O'Leary Burningham

Release Date: April 29, 2011

Publisher: Chronicles Books LLC

Genre: YA Non-fiction

Pages: 144

Format: eBook

Buy It: Amazon

Being a teen (or the parent of a teen) doesn't have to be so hard. How to Raise Your Parents will help teens and their parents navigate those years between training bras and keys to the family car. In a voice teens will relate to and parents will appreciate, author Sarah O'Leary Burningham offers smart advice about negotiation and parental hot buttons and a little insight about what the world looks like from a parent's point of view.

In purchasing this book on Amazon (for free, thankfully), I was expecting a book that would help a teenager better understand their parents, while continuing to respect them. While the author did help readers understand parents better, the respect wasn't there. Many of the advice given to teens through this book is disrespectful, and occasionally downright rude to their parents.

While I may not have had the best teenage years myself due to fights with my parents, I still strongly believed in respecting them and their authority. It's saddening to see that this author is encouraging girls to act this way. Don't pick up this book unless you're prepared for what she has to offer.

I received this book through purchase on Amazon. I was not required to post a review, and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Review: You and Me Forever

You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity by Francis and Lisa Chan

Release Date: August 26, 2014

Publisher: Claire Love Publishing

Genre: Christian Devotional

Pages: 192

Format: Paperback

Buy It: Amazon

Marriage is great, but it's not forever. It's until death do us part. Then come eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives.

In his latest book, Francis Chan joins together with his wife Lisa to address the question many couples wonder at the altar: How do I have a great marriage? Setting aside typical topics on marriage, Francis and Lisa dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls.

In the same way Crazy Love changed the way we saw our personal relationship with God, You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will radically shift the way we see one of the most important relationships in our life.

Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is by not focusing on marriage.  Whether you are single, dating or married, You and Me Forever will help you discover the adventure that you were made for and learn how to thrive in it.

100% of the net profits from You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will go towards providing food, shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of orphaned children and exploited women in partnership with global charities.

This book isn't what I was expecting when my fiance, Nick, and I decided to join the weekly church study with other married couples. Don't go into reading this book expecting it to be the typical marriage book, because it isn't. It's so much more than that.

Francis and Lisa really want Christian couples to realize that as Christians, our marriages take a back seat to the marriage we have with Christ. However, we need to work together to help each other run that race into eternity as best as we can.

It's a book full of advice, tips, and real life experiences from a couple who is just like every one else. They've been there; they get the struggles we all face. But even so they are still pushing forward and help readers to push forward as well.

I received this book for a church study. I was not required to post a review, and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Bloggiesta Wrap-up

Time to wrap-up this weekend's mini Bloggiesta. I'll be crossing out the tasks I completed, then go into more detail down below of what I did for each task.

• Clean up labels/tags
• Update Goodreads
• Update master review spreadsheet
• Write 1 review
• Clean up sidebars
• Create template and start Social Media Saturday
• Update blogroll

Clean up labels/tags: I added tags to all of my old posts that didn't have any, deleted old tags that I no longer use, as well as deleted some older posts that are no longer relevant to this blog. Afterwards, I added the label cloud to my sidebar to make it easier for my readers to find specific posts!

Update Goodreads: This task was the one I expected to get the least amount done, and I actually got a decent amount done. I cleaned out my "to-read" shelf and deleted books I'm no longer interested in, added some of my Amazon books that I plan to read (eventually...), deleted my 2012 Debut Author Challenge shelf (since, you know, it's 2015...), and created a new shelf called "review needed" where I added books I have read but not reviewed yet. This actually added more work to my master spreadsheet task (more below) because now I have 15 new reviews to write, but it was less than I thought so yay!

Update master review spreadsheet: I finished the one outstanding review on my sheet (see below) and scheduled that for this week. I filled in all pertinent info, now I just need to add the 15 new reviews from Goodreads

Write 1 review: As mentioned above, I completed the one outstanding review on my master spreadsheet.

Clean up sidebars: I added every possible social media account you can follow my blog with, as well as moved some of the order around. I also added the label cloud from above.

Create template and start Social Media Saturday: I didn't complete the template until today, so I wasn't able to start that this week. Now that the template is finished, I hope to start that next weekend!

Update blogroll: I updated and cleaned out my blogroll.

Overall, I got a lot more done than I was expecting! I feel much better about the work I need to do to catch up on reviews, as well as fit those into real life.

How did you do? Link your posts below!

Review: Depression: Drowning in Air

Depression: Drowning In Air: A Young Man's Staggering Journey From Hopeless To Hopeful by Jacob Reimer

Release Date: March 26, 2015

Publisher: Watchtower Publishing

Genre: Non-fiction

Pages: 146

Format: eBook

Buy It: Amazon

UNDERSTANDING DEPRESSION Depression has definitely become more recognized in recent years in general society. But that doesn’t mean it’s widely accepted, understood, or properly dealt with. I believe that one of the best ways to improve this is through education, especially through hearing from people who are brave enough to share their stories. That is my intention with this book: to use my story to help you understand depression and learn how you can help yourself if you’re struggling. In this book, I share my secrets and show you some of the darkest times of my life. It’s been hard to write about these times, but above all, I want you to know that you’re not alone. I got through my dark times, and with the right information and help, so can you. It is not my objective to sugarcoat anything, nor to give you some “quick fix” solution. There is no quick fix for depression, and those who say there is obviously have never truly experienced it for themselves. WHO AM I? You could say I’m nobody. I have no degree. I’m not a licensed professional. I’m not a doctor—I don’t even play one on TV. What I do have is my experience. I’ve been through anxiety and depression. I’ve hit rock bottom, shattering so hard that I thought I could never be put back together. I lay there, wounded, for years, only to find a sense of motivation from within that I didn’t know existed—a resilience in my very being that wouldn’t allow me to give up without a fight. I patched my wounds, staggered to my feet, and stood tall for the world—and myself—to see. Then I took my first step towards freedom. Overcoming depression isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s a journey. By showing you my journey, I want to provide you with a sense of hope. I want to equip you with the tools necessary to make your own journey, and guide you towards the first step. INSIDE DEPRESSION: My Battle... Inside You'll Discover... -My story and personal battle with depression -My struggle with suicide and how I OVERCAME it! -The series of events that lead me to reach such a low point -My personal struggle with debilitating anxiety and how I worked to overcome it! -My advice for others, including how to find strength in the struggle and come out the other side STRONGER! -How to find the joy in life again! -Plus much, much more! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE? Download and learn practical, real world advice, about how to properly overcome depression and anxiety!

I was recently diagnosed with depression, which is why I jumped at the chance to read this book when Amazon listed it for free. The author starts by chronicling his journey through depression, which how it was triggered all the way up until his final point of climbing up from rock bottom. His journey showcases many ups and downs, as well as many common triggers that people with depression can struggle with.

He not only lists his approach to combating depression, but makes it clear that there is not one solution for every person. He also gives his own personal advice on options such as counseling or medication use. While he makes it clear that he is not a doctor, I still found those parts odd.

If you're looking for a book to help relate to your own journey through depression, as well as ways to cope and survive, this is a great option.

I received this book by purchasing it through Amazon. I was not required to post a review, and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Review: Called to Be Amish

Called to Be Amish: My Journey from Head Majorette to the Old Order (Plainspoken) by Marlene Miller

Release Date: February 9, 2015

Publisher: Herald Pr

Genre: Amish Non-fiction

Series: Plainspoken #2

Pages: 256

Format: Paperback

Buy It: Amazon

Fewer than one hundred people have joined the Old Order Amish and stayed since 1950. Marlene C. Miller is one of them. In this rare memoir, Marlene recounts her unhappy and abusive childhood, how she throws herself into cheerleading and marching band, and how she falls in love with Johnny, the gentle young Amish man who helps her lace her ice skates.

Against the wishes of both sets of parents, Marlene and Johnny get married and begin a family. Follow the author on this unusual journey to find out how God s love called her out of bitterness and depression and into the warm embrace of her new Amish community.

Accompany her as she dons an Amish dress and prayer covering and gets baptized. Learn how she endures the strain of ten children, a hundred-acre farm, and accidents and tragedy, and find out how she comes close to walking away from it all. Turning Amish has proven to be anything but plain and simple for this former majorette. But nearly fifty years later, Marlene is still living out God's call as an Old Order Amish woman.

I'll start off by saying I do not request books unless I can see myself enjoying them. I was expecting this book to be non-fiction, but I was thinking it would focus more on Marlene;s love story rather than her upbringing. Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting into the book at the beginning due to the extensive family back story this book starts with. I felt it dragged a bit too much, and I didn't enjoy it as much because of it.

This is not to say that her story was not interesting; it certainly was. I'm sure many people enjoyed this book, and will continue to enjoy this book! There was simply too much history for my taste. Unfortunately I could not finish this book.

I received this book free for review through LitFuse Blog Tours. I was not required to post a positive review, and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Mini Review and Blog Tour: Summer in Snow Valley

 

Blog Tour Schedule

Summer in Snow Valley #1 Bestselling Amazon Authors of Christmas in Snow Valley, have teamed up again with six wonderful summer novellas that are sure to make your summer sweet and sassy!

Catching Caytie by Amazon Top Seller Cindy Roland Anderson On the night Caytie Holbrook intends to break up with her cheating boyfriend, he blindsides her by announcing their engagement at a dinner party. When Caytie discovers her father is in on the scheme, she runs away from her home in Beverly Hills to hide out at her uncle’s ranch in Snow Valley, Montana. While Snow Valley is a beautiful place, Caytie only plans to stay until her twenty-fifth birthday when she’ll inherit a trust fund her grandmother left her, allowing her to pursue her dream to move to Italy. That is until she meets Jace McAllister, an incredibly sexy—although somewhat grumpy—cowboy who threatens to disrupt her plans.

Tin Foil Tiaras by Amazon Top Seller Jeanette Lewis Cameron Elliott has come to Snow Valley to coach Annalisa Drake in the Miss Snow Valley pageant, and prove to her demanding boss that she deserves a place at the prestigious Westbrooke Agency. But Annalisa’s handsome and protective big brother, Kyle, is determined to keep his sister from becoming a reluctant beauty queen. As Cameron tries to win Kyle over, Kyle insists some things are more valuable than a title and as crazy as it sounds, Cameron might just believe him.

A Touch of Love by Amazon Top Seller Cami Checketts Annie Stirland has endured a lifetime of teasing, embarrassment, and isolation due to her speech impediment. When irresistible cowboy, Luke Wilson, seems to be falling for her, she’s certain he’s too good to be true. A tragedy involving his ex-girlfriend proves she’s right. What man can resist sheltering someone they once loved? Annie knows she should walk away, but Luke isn’t ready to give her up.

First Love; Love First by Amazon Top Seller Taylor Hart Janet Snow doesn’t expect to get caught in a full-blown make out session at her brother’s wedding. Especially not with Michael Hamilton, the boy she’d written off ten years ago. Even though they both agree to no complications, Janet's not sure they can stick to it given their past. After a trip to the hot springs, a helicopter ride, and a proposal, even the most cautious single mother would start to wonder if true love really is just about the timing. Now Janet has to make a choice—play it safe or trust that her first love could also be her last.

Romancing Rebecca by Amazon Top Seller, Kimberley Montpetit Rebecca Dash loved spending her teen summers swooning over Jane Austin and helping her aunt at the Starry Skies Bed & Breakfast in Snow Valley. But as a recent college grad, she’d rather write sappy romance novels than go out with guys that make her a nervous wreck. When a team of fire-fighters set up camp on the lawns of the B&B and Captain Wade catches her eye, Becca soon learns that there’s more to a happily-ever-after than a flirty fireman with muscles the size of the Montana hills.

Love in Light and Shadow by Amazon Top Seller Lucy McConnell Mercedes O'Shay has sworn off gorgeous men because they have a tendency to break her heart. When she meets her new neighbor, Chet Bauer, she immediately puts him in the Do Not Date category based on his well-defined muscles and stunning blue eyes. But the more Mercedes learns about the cowboy who reads classics and forges iron, the more she realizes the heart doesn't see in black and white; it sees light and shadows.

My Review:
If you're looking for a light summer romance to read, this collaboration is the one you want. All five stories share the same location in Snow Valley, Montana, but each romance is unique based on the characters and their situations. With five books in one, you certainly can't beat the price! Defnitely take some time to check on these stories.
