Smart Money, Smart Kids
[sg_popup id=”17″ event=”onload”][/sg_popup] “What’s scarier: you teaching them to do it now under your supervision, or them learning it on their own?” Financial advice is something most people could use in some aspect or another.

The Road Back to You
The Enneagram is a personality system based on a person’s innate motivations. Broken down into nine types, the Enneagram can give a person insight into why they tend to make their choices they make in life. This system also realizes that each person can have nuances, so each type has two wings and then reaches toward another type when stressed and a different type when in a growth mode. While it can sound complicated, The Road Back to You breaks down each type into an easy-to-understand format. Each number has a chapter and describes that person in-depth. Readers won’t walk away wondering which number they are – they’ll know.

The Art of Racing in the Rain 1
Enzo is a dog who knows he is more than just a dog. He understands the people around not and not just their words, but their motivations, dreams, fears and desires. He is sure when he dies, he will come back as a human and he already has plans for what type of human he will be. His owner, Denny, is a race car driver and Enzo learns about racing by watching tapes with Denny. In The Art of Racing in the Rain, Enzo is there as Denny falls in love, gets married and has a daughter. Life is hard, but wonderful, for Denny until Eve gets sick, very sick.

The Other Woman
I enjoyed listening to The Other Woman as an audiobook. I did guess pretty correctly how the book was going to end, so it would have been nice if it had been a bit more of a surprise. (Even my friends said the same thing about the book, which I found out after I started reading it.) I can see how fans of Tom Clancy would enjoy Daniel Silva books. I don’t often read this genre, but when I do, I want to read an excellent writer who can keep me guessing.
