We have a routine in our family. When we have the opportunity to go out to eat, we take turns choosing a restaurant. Sometimes the kids are at odds about each other’s choices. We never argue about Ryan’s, though!

My sister is the one who told me about H. H. Holmes. She grew up in a house that was quite near one that he once lived in. When I had the chance to read The White City, it made me nervous and a bit scared since I had an inkling of the story’s plot.

It should be known that I typically avoid books where bad things happen to kids. My role as a mom and teacher means that I spend my every waking moment trying to protect the children in my care. Where The Missing Go sent shivers up my spine from beginning to end!

During my college years, we used to sit in one of the dorm lobbies and watch Friends every week. We stacked chairs on the tables and made our own theater, enjoying every episode and dreaming of coffee at Central Perk. Twenty years later, one of the very best things about having a teenage daughter is getting to watch Friends reruns with her! When Ulysses Press sent me the Friends cookbook, I knew she would dog-ear half the pages.

In my first year of teaching 6th grade, I was assigned 3 different levels of math classes and 1 period of introductory Spanish. Since the middle school foreign language program was brand new, I was able to plan the curriculum myself. It was a blast! I loved teaching the basics to those eager students. They learned the alphabet, colors, numbers, seasons, and other vocabulary. Any slang phrases I taught were innocent and simple. Ulysses Press offers an adult version for those who want to know What They Didn’t Teach You In Spanish Class!

My daughter is the queen of punniness. She loved the book Born to Pun that Ulysses Press sent. With 1400 one-liners, this book is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of punsters.

Martha Stewart and I could never be friends in real life because I hate wrapping gifts. It’s not a pretty sight; I end up fumbling with the wrapping paper roll while trying to find the scissors (which are taped to the bottom of the wrapping paper roll.) I love the look of a crisply folded edge of wrapping paper, but a gift bag is just so much easier. Sound familiar? Little did I know that I needed a Wrap Buddies intervention!

When I received the tour invite for Wings of War, I checked to see if my daughter would want to read it with me. She was so excited about it! The author kindly sent us all 4 books in the series. I’m currently finishing the first book, Embers. Get a free first month of Kindle Unlimited and you can get Embers free, too!

My kids love the Sonic cartoons. Having a DVD means we can also watch this favorite show on the go! With summer coming up, Sonic Boom — “Here Comes the Boom” — is the perfect take-along for a road trip.
