{Book Blast} Have No Shame by Melissa Foster + GIVEAWAY

Book Synopsis:

The racially-charged prejudice of the deep South forces eighteen-year-old Alison Tillman to confront societal norms—and her own beliefs—when she discovers the body of a hate crime victim, and the specter of forbidden love turns her safe, comfortable world upside down.

Alison has called Forrest Town, Arkansas home for the past eighteen years. Her mother’s Blue Bonnet meetings, her father toiling night and day on the family farm, and the division of life between the whites and the blacks are all Alison knows. The winter of 1967, just a few months before marrying her high school sweetheart, Alison finds the body of a black man floating in the river, and she begins to view her existence with new perspective. The oppression and hate of the south, the ugliness she once was able to avert her eyes from, now demands her attention.

When a secretive friendship with a young black man takes an unexpected romantic turn, Alison is forced to choose between her predetermined future, and the dangerous path that her heart yearns for.

HAVE NO SHAME is an emotionally compelling coming of age novel featuring a young woman who cannot reconcile the life she wants with the one she’s been brought up to live.Have No Shame will resonate with anyone who has ever fallen in love, and those who have been forced to choose between what they know in their hearts to be true, and what others would like them to believe.

{ARC Review} It Takes Balls by Josh Wolf

Title: It Takes Balls 
(Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions From an Unprepared Single Dad)
Author: Josh Wolf
Pages: 272 pages
Publisher: Hachette Book Group, Grand Central Publishing
Published: March 19, 2013
Genre: Comedy, Memoir
Rating: Um, yeah
Source: Publisher. Given in exchange for an honest review


I read this for two reasons. 1) It mentions single moms and I am one. 2) My IRL BFF thought it looked fun and I thought it would be fun to read together. Wolf is a stand up comedian who writes for Chelsea Lately. This book is a collection of stories about his life as a single dad to three kids. 

Things I didn't like: single moms are easy...sleep with as many as possible. Drink as much as possible and get drunk in front of your kid. Take drugs and ridicule those who don't. Want your sons to sleep with as many girls as they can but want to lock up your daughter to keep her away from boys...like yours. The language. I missed the part that said he was a sailor. Great day.

Was it funny? Yeah, in places I laughed. But mostly I rolled my eyes thinking there was no possible way that even a part of what he said could be true. As a stand up act it would be a lot funnier probably but it didn't work for me as a book.

My favorite quote from the book:

Can you image if this generation had to do something important? What if these kids were the ones who had to storm the beaches of Normandy? Are you picturing these kids out there on those boats? Flippin' their Justin Bieber bangs out their eyes, everybody named Trevor, Travis or Tyler, not knowing how to get to the beach because nobody has a beach app on their phone, and all of them probably getting shot because they posed for a picture in front of the boat to post on Facebook!

I read it in a day because it was like a train wreck...I couldn't look away. He had a few valid points but most of the time I just kept thinking about how far away I stay from men just like him. He's married now and his wife sounds like a saint. 

It was a fast, light read with a few funny parts. I would only recommend this book to someone who doesn't mind extreme and constant language though. If you don't mind that then this might make you laugh.

This challenge is to pair up a book you are either reading or have in your stack with the menu you would serve:I have Two Way Street by Larua Barnholdt in my stack to read

It's about a road trip with the girl's ex...so I'd serve up some classic road trip food and nothing says road trip food like fast food. Sliders, fries and cold Cherry Cokes!

And my new drink would have to be the "Get Even" ;-)

My Life Next Door - Cute Boy Gets Equally Cute Girl

Hour 5 Mini Challenge - Self Portrait

Hour 6 - Book Puzzle

did not participate. My puzzler is puzzled.

Dash and Lily's Book of Dares Splintered The Typewriter Girl.

HOUR 14 - Quote Time

The Hour 14 mini challenge is to provide a quote from the book we are currently reading or have read. I'm currently reading Splintered by A.G. Howard and am really enjoying it. It has grabbed me from the first page.."I've been collecting bugs since I was ten; it's the only way to stop their whispers. Sticking a pin through the gut of an insect shuts it up pretty quick"

Oh yeah, this one is really interesting!

HOUR 16 - Mini Challenge

This hour the mini challenge is to turn to page 32 in the book we are currently reading and find the most entertaining phrase to complete this sentence..."I would rather read than ____________ any day" 

I'm reading Splintered by A.G. Howard and my answer is I would rather read than sprout up like a giant mushroom any day.

HOUR 17, almost 18

Wow, I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It is almost 1 am here and my contacts are killing me. Not sure how much longer I will last but I am enjoying Splintered. The dark and crazy theme is really working for my present, loopy condition! ;-)

HOUR 19

It's after 2 here and though I got a small second wind, my eyes are so tired. I've taken out my contacts for a few minutes to let my eyes rest. Have visited several blogs and left comments. On page 203 of Splintered. Am still enjoying it but wish I could just finish it already. 

HOUR 20

Can't believe how quickly the time has gone. We are 5 minutes short of the 20 hour mark. I've done better than I thought but the coming of a migraine and my laptop continuing to freeze is going to have my packing it in for a while. This will more than likely be my last post of the April 2013 Dewey's Read-a-Thon. For those that participated, no matter how much, I hope you had as much fun reading as I did.

Dewey's read-a-thon Introductory Post

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

Slightly cloudy Florida

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

Fang Girl by Helen Keeb so I started with it first!

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Peanuts from Logan's steakhouse. The BFF and I went for a belated birthday dinner for me there, last night.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

The only reason I can participate this time is because my boys are at their dad's for the weekend. Otherwise it would be "Mom, can I?" "Mom, watch this!" and no reading would happen.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?

To just go with the flow. Not be afraid to take a break or a nap or to visit blogs instead of reading books. Such a fun day!

Q:  Is there a song that reminds you of a book? Or vice versa? What is the song & the book?

I am always impressed when a blogger posts a playlist for a particular book because I don't have that skill. Not only do I not listen to music that often but I also don't really think of potential match ups between books and music. How about you?
