Top 25 Favorite Dips by: Sara Scott Jane

I love dips, but my dips are sour cream and the little green onion packet. That is my weakness. I try to eat healthy and I even juice every day, but there are times I fall off the wagon and eat a big tub of sour cream dip with Lays Wave Potato Chips so good but so bad. So when I picked this book the title called out to mee. Dips so I read it and I have to tell you I tried two recipes the Hawaii dip that was good with burnt chicken. I also loved the hummus one the recipes are easy to follow and all I can say my taste buds were opened to other great flavors. Pick it up I recieved this book for free from bookbub.com.

When Donkeys Talk by: Tyler Blanski

I must say I requested the book, because the title caught my attention. I really enjoyed parts of the book and other parts were a little bit confusing. What I did leave after reading the book is anytime anyone is on the quest to seek the meaning of life is too seek God. There are two types of Christians and they are those who believe in God, and those who have a personal relationship with God. The word of God points to Jesus. He is the only way to God. If you would like to read about the miracles of God and how true Christianity is not for the light hearted pick up the book. I received this book for free from NetGalley.com and did not have any influence on my review

Every Body Matters by Gary Thomas

I just loved, loved, loved this book. I purchased this book after listening to Focus on the Family. I was intrigued by a part of the book the author was reading about the sloth in the Bible and the modern day version of it. I finished this book in four days. It is truly an inspirational book. I have been on my journey to getting healthy and fit but I came to a halt. After reading this book I am getting back on track. We should not become soft but ready for what good work God has for us. Thank you for such a great book I am now inspired to reboot my fitness and healthy lifestyle. If you feel it is time for a change. That you are tired of feeling. The way you feel. Ask God to help you and pick up this book it will help you in the right direction. God Bless

The Sonoma Diet Cookbook by Connie Guttersen

I have been on a journey to eat healthier. Before I was the drive thru queen, but after I was told that I treated my body as a trash can I began my journey to eating healthier. After talking to my Nutritionist and told her that I was getting tired of juices and eating salad. She told me that The Sonoma Diet Cookbook would be a great eating plan for me. So after hanging up the phone I went online and purchased this book on Apples Ibooks. I am experimenting with olive oil and low calorie dinners. I really am enjoying this new journey, and even considering taking some cooking classes at Whole Foods. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I am.

Low-Calorie Side Dish and Salad Recipes by Joan Holcomb

I love to cook but along with preparing the meals, and tasting to make sure everything comes out perfect, the extra calories come with my passion to cook. I received this book for free from Bookbub.com. I was excited to try the recipes out. I tried the vinaigrettes and the side salads and they were a hit. I love that the recipes are delicious and not loaded with calories. I am really enjoying the book and will continue to use it as my go to book for light recipes. Thank you Bookbub.com for this great book.

Republic A Novel of America's Future by: Charles Sheehan-Miles

I received this book for free from bookbub.com. The title was interesting so I ended up choosing this book. I like history books and even though it was a fictional book I found parts of the book eerie. The author incorporated actual historical events into the book. I enjoyed the book but towards the end it was a long ending. The war and the end of story was not really what I was hoping for. Over all the book was about a three star.
