My Rating ~ 4 bites

This is a quick read with succinct facts about snacking. Not so much a diet book as a plan for changing your eating habits and why snacking is important. Not just any kind of snacking though, but proper snacking. Think veggies and fruits and snacks between 100-300 calories, not cookies and chips loaded with sugar, fat and calories. At the end are a decent amount of recipes though more would have been nice. Or even a list of foods to pick and choose from. On a editorial side note: it’s shudder not shutter, I’m not sure what wildling is and using grinded instead of ground sounds very elementary school. Over all though a decent informative read for the short length.

My Rating ~ 3 bites and a nibble

An anthology with six short stories that I would put on the contemporary or fiction shelves. They are well-written though not exactly my mug o’tea.

The Liar ~ My favorite.

Making Headlines ~ Totally creeptastic.

Toxic Love ~ I was lost by the ending of this one.

Ripples ~ This is my 2nd favorite.

The Savant ~ Interesting.

The Hospital ~ I was confused by the narrator, but the ending was a twist I didn't see coming.

    1. They are. I really need to eat more of them. Not that I don't eat them daily, but more is better, right? :)

  2. I need more fruits and passes in my diet. Can the book teach me to like them?

  3. I'm laughing at Bea's comment - I would buy a book that taught me to hate unhealthy food. I like the healthy stuff. I just like the unhealthy MORE.

    1. That would be a great book. I'd miss a lot of nommy noms though. LOL
