Approval Junkie By: Faith Salie

I just love reading memoirs. However this book wasn't the usual memoirs I'm use to reading.  It wasn't funny nor interesting to me. It felt like Salie was trying a little too hard, which took away from grabbing my attention. I got bored real quick. This book is more like a doctor office waiting room book, where you can pick it up read a page or two and just put it back down without hesitation. I personally don't recommend this book.

On Edge by Andrea Petersen

On Edge was so relatable to me. I suffer from severe anxiety and medication is not what I am looking for to help me overcome situations.

On Edge gives in-depth information about the disease it's self and possible treatments. Both drug related and non-drug related options were spoken about.

This book is a great read for anyone suffering or knows of anyone who is suffering from anxiety.

Crazy is my Superpower by AJ Mendez Brooks

This read was so interesting. I never knew that AJ struggled with mental illness. She found a way to cope with her challenges through wrestling. This read isn't always serious. There were moments were AJ wrote with humor. There wasn't a lot of WWE moments either. My husband, who is a WWE fan felt a little japed with this book. He wanted AJ to talk more about her wrestling career. This read was solely based on how she conquered her life and made something of herself. AJ is leading a life of being a great role model for young woman. She gives them hope. I received this read from www.bloggingorbooks.com

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
