The Chocolate Diaries by Karen Linamen

It's always conforting to know someone else is going through the same things you are - and Karen Linamen, author of The Chocolate Diaries (ISBN13: 9780307729590) tells the stories of different women and adds a sweet touch to bring them all together and how to learn from them.

Linamen has sprinkled all through the book little bits of wisdom. Throughout the book, her 'Sweet Secrets' are honest answers from different people promted from the same question: What's your secret to a sweeter journey on the rocky road of life? The 'Because Real Women Don't Need a Cookbook' are little treats that can be prepared, literally, without a recipe. And the 'Food for Thought' are questions and prompts to consider for inner thinking.

In the ebook, there are numerous links to explore and ways to explore topics that need exploring. A self-help book for chocophiles and regular folk alike.

I recieved an eletronic version for review purposes from the Blogging for Books program. Any opinions are my own.

The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin in Her Own Words

The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin In Her Own Words (2011, ISBN13 9781595553560) is a collection in book form of quotes by former governor Sarah Palin, edited and a foreword by Matt Lewis. The quotes come from a wide range of topics, including gun control, health care, and politics.

This was an offering from a blogger book group, and while quotes are something many people, including myself, enjoy reading, this didn't seem to hold my attention, maybe because some of the quotes were from a few years earlier and didn't seem to fit with what is going on now in political culture. But, reading some of the quotes did take me back to when she first came onto the political scene. Whether you like her or not, there is no question of her impact. Overall, The Quotable Rogue was an entertaining book, but I think the author could have done better picking and choosing the quotes from Palin.
