Warm Bodies

Details: Zombie guy feels so much different than the other zombies.  He wants to have a regular life.  But can he stop being a zombie?  Can the general's daughter Julie, get out of the zombie world and back to her own world? Or will the Bonies get to her first?  Why is the Zombie guy changing?  What will this mean for him and his dead kind?  Actors: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, and Analeigh Tipton.  "He's still dead, but getting warmer".  Genres: comedy, horror, romance.  2013 movie.  "Love can change us!"

My Review: Um...??? Is what went through my mind for the first 10 minutes.  Okay after 20 minutes I was still like...um...wow...what the...?  So zombies like to eat brains so they can have memories.  Not to feel so dead.  It was really funny when he drove the car.   And all the monologue narrative was weird but funny. As the movie progressed it got funnier, and then turned into a Romeo and Juliet of the Zombies.  Seriously, I would never watch it again, but it was neat.  We rented it from the Redbox, and my personal opinion is that its not worth more than what you pay for a Redbox movie.  Surprisingly I am giving this movie a thumbs up, because "Romeo" actually lives.




Pros: funny, good actors, predictable plot

Cons: I really wonder what zombie enthusiasts think about this.

Vocabulary ebook

Details: Instant Learning Series: Vocabulary Make Easy by Pat Wyman.  Learn new words in Half the time! A+ word memory.  Tips and tricks, and advice from experts on how to have, learn and benefit from a great vocabulary.  Geared for any age to learn from, though for children adults/ parents/ teachers will have to  do the reading and teaching from this book. Free Kindle ebook.

My Review:  I got this from my home school group, thinking it would give great advice on teaching children how to have better vocabulary.  I thought that it would help me, as a teacher and parent, to teach vocabulary, reading, spelling and writing to better my children's knowledge in their school subjects.  It took about 10 minutes to go through, I didn't really feel like I gained anything from it at all in fact.  I'm glad it was free, because if I had paid for it, that was a total waste.  I felt like this book was written but not in an organized manner, and without an editor because I really didn't know what I was reading about.

Pros: it was free

Cons: it wasn't a good book, it didn't help

NeoCell Resveratrol antioxidant

Details: NeoCell Resveratrol antioxidant age defying micronutrients for cellular rejuvenation and youthful vitality.  Knotweed free.  100mg trans reveratrol per serving, 150 capsules, with 5 per serving.  NeoCell Resveratrol antioxidant contains Trans-Resveratrol that is extracted from the red wine grapes, grape vine, and seed from the Bordeaux region in France.  Gluten free, GMP certified.  Helps with heart health, and immune support.

My Review: I was really excited to get this product from NeoCell, to test, try and review (for free), because of the helpful aspects it has for heart health.  Now, I'm not a big fan of having to take pills, supplements, or swallow capsules to be healthy.  But I've learned to start taking these with a healthy juice, instead of water, because they don't leave gross after tastes on my tongue, and they don't make me sick, and they go down easier, because the juice is thicker than water.  With this said, both NeoCell products that I've been testing, I've been drinking with a healthy juice (usually sugar free cranberry acai juice).  This product is helping my body have more energy, helping me not get sick, and keeping my heart healthy, so I can go and go and go and go like a wife and mom needs to do for her family.  Aside from how I feel, I don't really see any or have noticed any other differences in my body.  So even thought I believe that it's working, I'm not really 100% sure it is.  The thing is though, this product isn't harmful for your body, so that's a plus.  But, I'm going to finish off this bottle, and go from there.  I believe its working, so there's a good chance that it will also work with you.

They are purple in color
Pros: I feel great when I take it regularly.

Cons: I don't know 100% that its working

Disclaimer: I received this product to test, try, and review for free from NeoCell

My Rating: thumbs up for me thinking it works, thumbs down because I'm not really sure.

Hidden Under Her Heart

Details: Maryanne is working at making something of herself and her life by not having sex anymore. She's sick of getting tricked, and run over by man pigs, while trying to make her father proud of her, finally. Lucas Knight is focused on winning the Ironman Triathlon, is distancing himself from church, and trying to over come the racial issues his parents have. When Maryanne and Lucas collide, its not just for fun and games, but soon becomes a life threatening for Maryanne, career threatening for Lucas. Can they find out who is framing Lucas and who raped Maryanne at the church youth activity at the Preacher's home.

My Review: I just love Rachelle Ayala's books! Each one makes you fall in love with the characters, you become a character in her book. You live the adventure, the romance, the thrill, the mystery. Putting the book down is literally impossible until you've finished it, because it becomes your life. You must find the bad guy, must save those in trouble, and bring those who should be together, together for their love and happiness. I highly recommend reading this book, but all of her books are great!  Her characters are always very real.  Barry is quiet a person in this novel.  Details are very important to Rachelle.

Pros: amazing novel, one of my favorite

Cons: none
