Review: Nicki Sosebee Foursome

Nicki Sosebee Foursome by Jade C. Jamison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicki is an up and coming newspaper reporter/waitress. Her best guy friend is a hottie she practically slept with one time, but they avoid dealing with it. She has a penchant for finding the story but also trouble along the way, and always needs saving. Nicki loves sex and will grab it whenever she can, without thinking of the consequences, and sometimes there are some.

Overall I like this series, it's well written although the characters are a little shallow but interesting. The fact that Nicki grabs her a man whenever it appeals to her into no strings attached fun, leads to some interesting reading but I wouldn't want to do that in reality. I'd say this is a light read, with some interesting storylines and characters I wish would be developed a bit more, but likeable nonetheless.

Review: Go Girl Friday

Go Girl Friday by D.C. Paull
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Go Girl Friday" is a contemporary mystery book about Sara an out of work compliance banker . Her friend posts a billboard for her that brings in some interesting job offers, none of which is a good idea to take! When she does start working it all seems to be the perfect set-up, but is it? She soon finds herself in danger at every step.

I enjoyed the mystery and action parts of this book a lot, but I felt that the characters were just a little stiff. I know this was the authors' first book and it's good. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series "Bad Hair Days" to find out what kind of mischief Sara gets herself into.

If you like clean mystery books with little to no romance in them, then this book would probably be a great read. For me, I love romance in my mysteries so it was 3.5 stars for me.

Review: Moonlight Serenade: A Rock and Roll Fantasy

Moonlight Serenade: A Rock and Roll Fantasy by Diane Rinella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bailey is a make-up artist with a love of 40's glamor and style. Unfortunately, she has a loser boyfriend taking her for all he can. Dale is a salesman looking for his next big promotion, it's so close he can almost taste it. With a twist of fate and a touch of the magical, these two quirky out of time characters connect in ways they could only dream about.

This is another awesome book in the Rock and Roll Fantasy Collection! I love every single book in this series! I highly recommend this series if you like quirky characters, a touch of the paranormal and a touch of music. This series can be read out of sequence but it's much better if you do follow the sequence.

As always here's the link on Amazon for this book:

Review: 3 Below

3 Below by Patrick Carman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

3 Below is book two in this awesome kids series about the Wacky Whippet Hotel. Leo and Remi start a new adventure that takes them 3 floors below the Whippet Hotel to strange and wonderful floors. Mr. W is of course up to providing Leo with a task he must handle that is never just straight to the point, and they end up learning something about themselves and others along the way.

It was a fun adventure, that was funny at times but always interesting, especially to my 2 and 4th graders. Perfect read-aloud book that will leave them begging you to read another chapter before bed.

Here's the Amazon link for the book if you're interested:

About My Blog

I used to have Tia's Kindle Shelf, but Blogger has seen to delete it for me. So I guess this is the beginning of Tia's Whatever Blog where I will share a book review sometimes, sewing pattern reviews, and fabric reviews as well. I started sewing a few months ago and learned so much about fabric, and the indie fabric and indie pattern world. I may even share my new Ketogenic way of eating and an occasional recipe.

2016 was the hardest year of my life to date. I started out the year depressed and hating myself and my life in general. Then in April of last year, I lost my best friend to a severe brain injury, we had been friends since 7th grade. Then the following month my sister in law lost her battle with cancer. Those two losses had me so down I almost didn't want to get back up either.

I looked to retail therapy to fill that void, and got sucked in by Lularoe leggings after an author friend had a giveaway on her Facebook page. Then I was hooked! I bought about 20 pair of leggings, 4 dresses, 8 skirts, 2 kimonos, and 3 raglans. I was out of control. Then one day I saw a webpage that had links to patterns to make your own leggings or Lularoe equivalent clothing, and I was hooked on the indie pattern world.

My first Indie pattern was Peg Legs from Patterns for Pirates (this pattern is free if you join their Facebook group). Then I also downloaded the free Pirate Pencil Skirt pattern too! I admit I've only printed and not sewn these yet, but I also have a ton more of their patterns as well as patterns from George and Ginger, Rad Patterns, Elliedactyl, Love Notions, 5 out of 4, and Duckbutt as well. There are lots of awesome independent designers out there, and I find more all the time.

My first indie fabric order was placed with Riki Prints, who is now RP Custom Fabrics. I love their custom designs, the quirky but loveable owner, and her wonderful fun and helpful admins. They supply some of the highest quality custom fabric prints around. I have also since that time ordered from Mk Designs, Smoogie, Starfluffle, BaadMaash, as well as a few I'm completely forgetting at the moment. I will rectify this in the future as I get my new fabric orders in and review them, as well as create some article of clothing with them at some point.

I'm not sure how well this version of my blog will work out, but I think honestly it's mostly for me and journaling my adventures in sewing, reading, crafting, and whatever else!
