Babyville ~ Jane Green

This book was great!  Even though the title is Babyville, the story is not really about babies.  This is a story of three women - Julia, Maeve and Sam. All three women are struggling with their relationships and their identity.  I enjoyed reading about each of the three women's lives and the situations they were forced to deal with.  This book drew me in right from the start and held my attention the whole way through.

Each time the book switched to a new person I was left wondering what happened to the other's life.  However, as the story progresses, each woman's life becomes intertwined with the others.  I found myself relating to each woman differently.

It is intriguing and crazy to see where these three women end up in their lives.  This book was hard to put down and I finished it in four or five days.  I would recommend it to anyone.

Doodletopia: Cartoons: Draw, Design, and Color Your Own Super-Fun Cartoon Creations

Doodletopia.  I got this book to share with my artsy 10 year old daughter.  She loves drawing things and crafting so I thought this was an activity we could share together.

This book exceeded my expectations.  She had so much fun trying to see who would draw the images better.  We spent a few afternoons with this book and had lots of laughs.

In the beginning of the book it helps you along and shows you how to draw images of cartoons.  Then in the middle it shows you how changing a few small things can alter the whole emotion of your drawing.  The end of the book gives you less help, but more ideas and backgrounds to add.

At 10 years old, my daughter had no trouble understanding what this book expected of her.  She was able to recreate the pictures for the most part, pretty well.  Her favorite thing to do was to flip to a random page and try to draw the image.

I would highly recommend this book to any adult, teen, or preteen.  It would make an excellent gift for an artsy person.
