By Crystal Paine As an avid follower of Crystal’s MoneySavingMom.com blog for many years now, I was very eager to read her latest offering ‘Say Goodbye to Survival Mode’.

And The Mountains Echoed
By Khaled Hosseini Like many other Khaled Hosseni fans, I was getting restless waiting for this book to be released. True to form, he has managed to write another great story that will appeal to almost everyone. Although like his previous books there is sadness and hard times portrayed in this book, this one shies away from any conflicts.

I dare you to try not crying as you read this book, I failed dismally and found myself […]

Fifty Shades Freed
Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy By E.L. James If you had asked me before I read the first book in this trilogy, I probably would never have said that I enjoy reading this genre of books. However, the first two books got me hooked, I had no option but to read ‘Fifty Shades Of Freed’ which is the last installment in the series. This one had more of a plot and less sex scenes and personal conversations. Everything finally started to make sense. I know many women all over the world, and some men really appreciate the author […]
