Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers opens with four high school friends meeting up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a reunion of sorts. When one of them doesn't show up, and no one can get a hold of her, the other friends are desperate to find out what happened. NetGalley, thank you for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this novel. I requested a copy of this book based on their synopsis and the author. When my request was approved, I was thrilled. The story started off well and kept me wanting to know more. Early on, I thought I had everything figured out, but much to my surprise, there was a plot twist I didn't count on.  I won't say more as to not spoil it for others.

Book Review: How The Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

Book Review How The Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

How The Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss opens with the Grinch being tired of the Whos of Whoville being happy while making all their preparations for Christmas.  He decides all this merriment must stop and decides to dress up as Santa Claus and steal Christmas from the citizens of Whoville.

For whatever reason, my parents never bought me any books written by Dr. Seuss.  When a friend posted a Christmas game on Facebook utilizing the book of How The Grinch Stole Christmas! my family decided to play that particular game on Christmas Eve.  So, of course, we needed to purchase a copy of the book, which I did.  After it came, I decided I needed to read it.

The life lesson of the book is that it is always better to give than to take, and that something doesn't come from a store.  It's a super cute book to read before Christmas to put you in the spirit.  I don't know what I expected, but I did expect more.  I gave How The Grinch Stole Christmas! three out of five stars.
