3/25/2020

I created an Amazon list with most of the books that my first grader loved to read during the 2018/2019 school year. You can access that list by clicking this link to Tamara Ruth Storefront: Books for First Grade Readers. That is an Amazon Associate link.

Below is the list of what my kid thought were the best books she read while a first grader. You're going to notice the same author(s) popping up a lot.... All links are Amazon Associate links.

Ranked by a First Grader

  1. Me Too! by Mercer Meyer
  2. Let's Go For A Drive by Mo Willems
  3. I Am A Frog by Mo Willems
  4. I Love Pink by Frances Gilbert
  5. Big Shark, Little Shark by Anna Membrino

I went Cozy Mystery Crazy

I read books instead of watching the news.
For the months of December and January, maybe a little into February, I read one cozy mystery story after the other. Mainly I focused on stories by Amanda M. Lee. I love the dialogue heavy stories of familial craziness.
​
With COVID-19 quarantines on the rise, I figured some one out there might be in need of a list of books to keep them sane.
If you need a book to read, check out my list below. All links are Amazon Associate based meaning I get $ from Amazon IF you buy.
Reaper Cozy Mysteries
Witch Cozy Mysteries
Death Gate Cozy Mysteries
Now those above are to Amazon search pages. Here are the direct links to the first books in each of those series.
​Do not get freaked out by the Death Gate covers -- they are series UGLY and kind of scary -- the books are funny.
My favorite Amazon pages to see them listed as part of a series:
  • Aisling Grimlock Reaper Series: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VKGY?tag=tamrut-20
  • Death Gate Series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P5VY8KR?tag=tamrut-20
  • Wicked Witches of the Midwest Series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJ6YD5J?tag=tamrut-20

Long Shot Review

5/28/2019

For what it is worth (FWIW), my husband is a rather big Seth Rogen fan. I'm not exactly there with him. Some Seth Rogen movies I laugh at; other's I've turned off within the first 10 minutes (or begun fast-forwarding, hoping for improvement).

So, when my husband suggested Long Shot as a date night movie, I wasn't overly thrilled. I checked out a trailer while in the car. I couldn't hear a word of it, but the premise seemed good.
I agreed to go.
Well....
It was interesting and fun. Overall. I did laugh frequently. There were a lot of F-bombs flying around. A few extremely typical Seth Rogen inappropriate humor sequences saw me burying my face into my husband's arm. The one fast sex scene got the same "hiding my eyes" treatment.  
While I wouldn't show it to my kids or want to watch it with my parents or in-laws, I would recommend it to them. Especially my in-laws. I think they'd laugh. But if cussing is a big NO for you, avoid this movie.
Boyz Too Men singing truly was sweet. Thanks for that.

Them calling Seth's character a "Cracker" was hilarious. I made sure the trailer I picked included that scene since I so enjoyed it.
