Writing My Wrongs by Shaka Senghor

         Shaka's childhood was far from safe and happy. He experienced things that no child should witness or feel. As growing up he led a life of mischief and illegal activities. He became a drug dealer and a murderer. He ended up in prison which led him to change his ways of life and how he felt about himself, others, and the world.

          This read really put some insight on life inside of a prison. It also shows us how a bad childhood can mold someone into criminal activity due to their anger and wanting control of their lives. However, one must remember your parents can help mold you, but you are the one that makes the choices to live in their footsteps or become your own footsteps.

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel

Reading this book was interesting to say the least. It was well written with great character. It is a very suspenseful, heartbreaking, successful read if you ask me. I just kept on reading even when I said just one more page. One more paged turned into one more chapter and before I knew it, the whole book was read in hours. This read makes your family secrets no longer lonely. It went from one subject to another subject which ranged from a dysfunctional family with rage, happiness, and sadness. This was a great read. Thanks to www.bloggingforbooks.com for giving me the opportunity to read it!

Talking with God by Adam Weber

This read was difficult, but yet intriguing. It was difficult because I struggle with talking to God. This read made it interesting and let me know that conversation with God does not have to be difficult or stressful. I found out through the reading that there is no set way to communicate with God. That no matter what or where I may be God is always willing, able, and available to talk to. I wanted to know more. It was so informative that I just could not put the book down.

In a different key by John Donvan and Caren Zucker

In a different key gives the history of autism. I feel that this read wasn't personal enough. I love someone with autism and would have liked to see more reality based information other than scientific information in this read. With that being said, this read was very informative. I just don't think it was on a personal note. I received this read from bloggingforbook.com

Wake Up to the Joy of You by Agapi Stassinopoulos

A relaxing read! It's hard to get to a relaxing state when our minds are all stressed out. Wake up to the joy of you helps you to do just that-relax. All the encouragement from a complete stranger is an incentive to read more. All the practices all you to relax on a daily basis no matter where you are. I will be passing this off to a loved one who really needs an incentive. I received this read from bloggingforbooks.com

Tough as they come by SSG Travis Mills

I love to read biographies and autobiographies. This particular book was heartwarming and motivational. Sergeant Mills served in Iraq and Afghanistan a total of three times. On his final tour he sustained many injuries. He had a difficult time understanding and getting use to not having arms and legs. However, he never gave up. He had such a great support system that walked along his journey with him. This book was very touching. I received my copy from bloggingforbooks.com.

Loving

Loving is so heartbreaking but loving all at once. The obstacles the Mr. and Mrs. Loving had to face are unbelievable. The love they had for one another is so warming and amazing. The way the laws were outrageous and ridiculous. To think that our nation was so cruel. This couples love was misunderstood by not only the law, but by friends and family as well. However, they did have a few who stood by them and followed them along their journey to a happy and healthy life together. This movie shows that love conquers all!
