    American Dirt—Now what can I say about this book. It was a good read. I learned about immigrants and how they travel to come to the United States. Reading this book and knowing what the Cartels can do to you. Being on the run to try to protect family and people you love. How you have to be strong in each way to try to survive.

    Lydia & Luca bond and braveness to survival teached and showed me how you have to be strong in the world. They were forced to leave everything behind to survive. They go through a lot of trials and bad things travelling and learning that you can’t trust everyone.

    Lydia believed and, in this book, I believed that her husband was with her the whole time.  The journey and experiences were heartbreaking. Hated what the cartels can do to a person. Lucas was so strong to be just 8 years old. Lucas stood up for himself and others that he cared about.

    Immigrants and what they have to do to try to come over to the States is a lot. Just thinking of violence, rape, hunger, being dehydrated and no money just to try to survive. Having to sleep with one eye open. How people can take advantage of someone without a care in the world.

    This book definitely opened my eyes to want to do more in the community and do more for people in need if I can.

    Check out this book and let me know your thoughts and how you felt? Have you ever been in a situation like this? Share with us. We would like to hear about it.

  • The Moment We Met by Camille Baker

    Book: The Moment We Met

    Author: Camille Baker

    This has been the second book I have read by this author, and this was a great read. This book was about an app that was transferred to Tiwanda phone called “Met”. The app will tell you 4 people will come into your life and be your soulmate. Tiwanda does not do well with relationships and makes up excuses on why she does not date. It’s her thirtieth birthday and she hates her job. She wants to start her own business. She gets a business opportunity to get money from a nonprofit business. She got accepted into the program and you get more money if you go to the next level. Tiwanda quit her job right on time so that she can concentrate on her own business.

    During the next couple of months, she will also meet 4 people that potentially will be her soul mate. She has mixed emotions about it but each one of the people she meets come in her life at different times that she needs it. She finally let her guard down and dated. She also gets a chance to meet and learn about her mom’s side of the family. Tiwanda is learning new things and with destiny on her side, maybe there’s a chance all those dreams that she has will come true as far as business, love and more.

    I kind of wished we had an app like that in reality. Also, I love the dedication she had building her business. She motivated me to want to apply for grants and see if my small business will get accepted. I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read part three of this book. It’s a great read. Let me know your opinions.

  • Home Before Dark by Riley Sager

    Book: Home Before Dark

    Author: Riley Sager

    By: Cece Hymes

     

    This Book was good. It was about a little girl named Maggie at the time who was about 5 years old and her parents moved into Baneberry Hall. Where this house had a reputation of generation after generation of people dying in the home. It was also connected to a graveyard, but the parents didn’t know too much about the home and the neighborhood. The dad writes a book telling his experience about this haunted house he lives in. The book was pretty good but brought a bad name to the neighborhood and people did not believe the things he said in the book.

    Now it’s 25 years later and Maggie is grown up. Her parents don’t like to talk about the book and what went on in that house. Her dad passed away and left her that house in Baneberry Hall that he says is haunted. He tells her to never go in that house. She read the book and wanted to really know what happened in that house. She goes back to the house to see if things will come back, and she can find clarity. This House is called the house of horrors.

    As Maggie stays in this house and talks to people, she finds out different information and things each time and each visit in this house. Is this house really haunted or was this all made up. Did the things in the book really happen? This book you must read to see what really happens and see if this house is really haunted by ghosts. Maggie gets all the answers she is looking for but you would never believe what happens to Maggie and what goes on in this Haunted house that is now hers.

    Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in spirits? Do you like thrillers? Well check this book out and tell me what you think of it.

  • J. Lo & Ben Affleck gets Married in Las Vegas

    Title: J Lo & Ben Affleck Gets Married in Las Vegas

    By: Cece Hymes

    I definitely want to give congrats to J. Lo and Ben on their Marriage and journey. Us as people are so quick to judge but people don’t know their backstory. Sometimes it takes a breakup and gets back together to know that this person is your best friend/soulmate. Sometimes it takes people to change and get themselves together. They may not have been ready then but are ready now.

     

    Why do us women have to grieve all the time when we have a breakup. Sometimes things don’t work out and we just move on just like a man does. Time does not wait on anyone. If you are not going to do right let us, go and move on and be happy.

     

    J. Lo. & Ben, you deserve to be happy. I wish you all nothing but the best. J. Lo I watched your documentary on Netflix, and you deserve nothing but the best. I am hoping you get that Oscar because you are a great actor and singer. All your movies are very motivating. That movie “enough” I think every woman should watch. We need more people to think positive and be happy for one another and stop being so judgmental. With that being said I hope for nothing but success, happiness and peace for the newlyweds. Good things come to people with patience.

     

    Second time around may be the best time around. Love is beautiful. Congrats again.

     

     

  • Book: The Wedding Crasher

    Book: The Wedding Crasher

    Author: Mia Sosa

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was good. It had me mixed with all kinds of emotions. Could you just imagine the lady that ended your Wedding becoming a woman that you fall for? I love how honest they were with each other and becoming friends. A lot of people have they guard up trying to wait on true love as others have it as it’s just a part of what you are supposed to do in life.

     

    Reading this book really showed me some things that I do and don’t want to do in a relationship. It had some great points and laughter. Also had a lot of naughty time in there. If you found out the bride was not in love with the groom, would you stop the wedding? In all the books I have read, people pretend to be someone’s girlfriend and they always fall for the person. You can’t pretend to be with people that are worthy to date and you are single.

    Overall, this book was worth the read. I love reading love stories with its ups and downs and twists. I have to read all the series for this. The Author did a good job, and I would recommend it. Make me want to go and pretend to be someone’s girlfriend and see how it goes. Like they say love comes when you unexpected it. Check out the book and tell me what you think.
