Dear Pen Pal (The Mother-Daughter Book Club, #3)  by Heather Vogel Frederick  is the third book in a middle grade book series that is being rereleased. Chaos erupts in this third installment as the daughters in the book club get themselves into trouble. Each of the girls have big changes in their lives:  Jess is going to boarding school; Megan's grandmother comes to live with her; Emma starts a campaign against school uniforms; Cassidy has a lot of unexpected change coming to her family. Will the mother daughter book club stay together? I'd like to thank NetGalley, Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing, and Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers for an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Dear Pen Pal  by Heather Vogel Frederick with it's upcoming rerelease to the public. I always love a good book that involves books, even if its target audience is children between the ages of eight and twelve. It wasn't until I reached the end of the book that I realized that it...

Product Review: Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist - Gain Scent

-
Mr Clean Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist
One particular weekend night, I was watching television, and a commercial came on advertising Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist. In the ad, it mentioned that it would take off grime and dirt after spraying it on the surface and wiping it off with a simple swipe. It went on to mention that it could be used in the bathroom, and I thought, "I really need to try this product on my bathtub."

Excited, I couldn't wait to buy it and looked for it at the grocery store the next day while I was getting my weekly groceries. I wasn't expecting to actually find it in stores yet because it usually takes the stores in my area a few weeks to get products in stock after I see it advertised on television. Much to my surprise and delight, my local Kroger Grocery Store actually had the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist in stock and in no less than two scents. I grabbed the Gain Scent bottle and stuck it in my grocery cart.

Eventually, I decided to use it to clean my bathtub this past weekend, and I was sorely disappointed in the way the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist cleaned my bathtub. I literally cleaned my bathtub twice with in, and the cleaning mist did very little to get my bathtub clean. So, I had to clean my bathtub for a third time with a different product which was the Kaboom! Foaming Spray. The Kaboom! Foaming Spray got my bathtub clean in a jiffy.

Although, the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist had a fabulous scent, I doubt I'll buy it again. With that being said, I will test it out on my toilet and sink to see how it does there. However, I am the type of person who likes to buy one type of cleaning product that will clean my entire bathroom instead of buying multiple products, so I just don't think this product is for me.

Have you tried the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist? If so, let us know what you thought about it in the comments.

    i started using Clean FReak when I seen it advertised on tv. My landlord asked me to clean his apartment for him; he pull out the bottom off the stove and it had burned on stuff. I sprayed CLEAN FREAK on it over nite; and I went up the next day and it all came up. I took 2 burners up on my apartment stove; and, I sprayed it let it set for about an hour and half and it right off. Plus, it smells so good. My suggestion would be to come out with more fragrances. ymore about this product than I have. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT WITH THIS PRODUCT.I vould not brag an

    I love the fresh smell of it. I really haven't tried any deep cleaning with it.

    I too bought this product very excited to clean kitchen and bathroom… disappointed in both kitchen and horrible in bathroom. My tub experience was exactly the same. I tried the entire tub 2x back to back and went to a different clean and then went to my BEST appliance purchase EVER… Dupray Neat steam cleaner. It cleans like no other… I have used shark steam cleaner, which is very good and I love my Shark Apex Vacuum (best vacuum I have ever purchased) but the Dupray and Kaboom are still my best recommendations for bathroom and kitchen! I also am a zealot fan for Bar Tenders Friend… beats Ajax/Comet hands down!!

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

Image
The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel centered on Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse, all seniors in high school. What begins as harmless, lighthearted senior pranks quickly takes a dark turn when Rhett starts assigning dares that are far more serious and dangerous. As the stakes rise, the question becomes whether Marley and her friends will survive the consequences of playing along. A huge thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced readers copy of The Dare by Natasha Preston. The last book I read by this author was well written and engaging, so I was excited to dive into her latest young adult horror story. From the start, the novel feels reminiscent of R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series, which instantly brought back a wave of childhood nostalgia. Unfortunately, that initial excitement didn’t last. Before long, the plot shifts into territory that felt eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer . At that point, my interest started ...

Book Review: The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker

The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker  was published on March 17, 2025. It opens with Detective Declan Shaw at a closed subway station trying to work up the nerve to commit suicide when he receives a call from his partner about a break in and homicide at the home of a true crime author. Shaw makes his way to the crime scene to work the case, and in a turn of events, Declan comes under scrutiny in another case loosely connected to this new case. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Writer  from NetGalley and Little , Brown, and Company for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm appreciative that my request for this book was approved. With this story opening with the main character trying to commit suicide, I almost didn't go any further with the book. However, I am glad I stuck with it as it took me on a fantastic ride and had my emotions all over the place. There were so many twists and turns that just when I thought I had it all figured out, there was ...

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich is the latest installment in the long-running and beloved Stephanie Plum series, and it opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog-sit his famously quirky dog, Bob, while he’s out of town testifying at a trial. As expected, things quickly spiral into chaos when Stephanie has to bring Bob along while attempting to apprehend her usual lineup of FTAs. Between chasing fugitives, dodging danger, and juggling her complicated personal life, Stephanie also finds herself seriously questioning whether marriage is something she truly wants. Each book in the Stephanie Plum series tends to follow a familiar and comforting formula, with everything wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow by the end. That predictability is actually one of the main reasons I keep coming back to these books. I always know Stephanie will get herself into trouble, Ranger or Morelli will step in to help,...
