Quicky Review #30: Frida and Where There's Smoke

Welcome back to another Quicky Review everyone.

A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet.  But why do a full review on a book that is say...80 pages long.  So I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well.  Basically, the short stories get short reviews.

Here is just a few sentences on one children's book and one e-book from last month.

There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry there will be more to come. I like short stories because most of them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

Quicky Review #29: Loogie and I'll Be Home for Christmas

Welcome back to another Quicky Review everyone.

A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet.  But why do a full review on a book that is say... 100 pages long.  I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well.  Basically, the short stories get short reviews.

Here are just a few sentences on one children's book and a free e-book from last month.

Quicky Review #21: Go the F**k to Sleep & Seriously, Just Go to Sleep

Welcome back to another Quicky Review.  

A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet.  But why do a full review on a story that is say...80 pages long.  So I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well.  Basically, the short stories get short reviews.

Best of 2013 Giveaway Hop

Hosted by Bookhounds and I Am A Reader, Not a Writer

In case you haven't noticed it is that time of the year where everyone does their Top Ten List.  I on the hand have a hard time call it when I am still reading, listening and enjoy 2013.  There are still 2 weeks left. What if I read the BEST BOOK EVER! this Saturday.  Then I would have to do my list all over. There would be no way I could close out the year without mentioning that book.

So for this giveaway I am not going to list my favorite books from 2013 at all. I am just going to giveaway one of the 5 star books I read this year.

Quicky Reviews #8: New World and Spy Killer

I have two new audiobooks I want to review that aren't going to count toward any challenges since they are really short. Here are a few sentences on these short (about 2 hours or less) stories. This is my second Quicky Review for 2013.  Don't fret there will be more.  I like short stories because they are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

3/15 to 3/18

It's here!  Time to jam the weekend with those books.  You know what I mean!  Those books sitting over there looking at you.  The ones that you (and I) have had sitting there for a lot long than a minute.  

What is this all about?

Quicky Reviews #7: Swim

  Today I have an e-book I want to review before the end of the month and doesn't need a full review since it was really short. This is my first Quicky Review for 2013.  I like reading a few short and free stories now and then between the big books. I don't think I need to write a review longer than the book.

Quicky Reviews #5

I have two more e-books that I want to review before the end of the year that aren't going to count toward any challenges and they are really short. I thought a sentence or two might do and so Quicky Reviews was born. 

I think this will be the last one for 2012.

I have a few more books and audiobooks that I want to review that aren't going to count toward any challenges. They are really short. I thought a sentence or two might do and so Quicky Reviews was born.

There are just some books you can sum up in a sentence or two!
