This was a book I had laying around collecting dust in my attic and decided to finally read. There was a time I was into the whole Xena Warrior Princess television series. Anyway, this book is the translated scrolls that were written by Gabrielle, Bard of Poteidaia. Basically it's Gabrielle telling about her experiences on the road with Xena and what she's learned. It's a fast read, and very entertaining.
The titles are just as funny such as: Baby-Tossing Is Not A Sport; If You Think That You're Dreaming, Pinch Yourself. If That Doesn't Work, Pinch Someone Else; Ambrosia Is Not A Part of the Seven Basic Food Groups and Keeping Your Mind When Your Friend Is Losing Hers. Some of the lessons fans will realize come from certain episodes. In between there's a few quotes from Xena herself. My favorites are:
"My Name Is Xena. I'm A Problem-Solver."
"You Just have to have faith."
"No one should pass up their dreams."
This book would make a great collectors item for those who are fans of the series. All in all, I give this book a solid four stars.

News On Reviews
The next Reviews will be on Friday of this week and I'm going to start numbering them to keep track of my goal to list one hundred books. A few of them are going to be non-fiction books. There won't be many. I do have a page with reviews as you can see, but those are older. Feel free to check those out at anytime. Here's what you can expect on Friday.

Writing
Excuse me if I don't post for awhile. My first book is being edited and while I wait for my editor to get back to me, I have to finish and go over the second one. I'm also working on Kindle titles. I'm trying various promotion tips to see where it gets me and I will be posting my success with it in May, so be sure to tune in for that. I'll also be posting new book reviews-yes, I have been reading as well, whenever time permits, hopefully by the weekend.

Book Reviews
O.K. I wanted to list at least three books
that I have finished, but I've only finished one
so far. You can be sure that this week you
will get at least these two:
1. Wedding on the Way by Lois Richer
2. Now Is the Time To Crush It! Why
Now Is the Time ToCash In On Your
Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk
If I can manage it, You'll Also get:
3. Out Of Control by Suzanne Brockmann
4.Put More Cash In Your Pocket By Loral Langemeier
Put More Cash in Your Pocket: Turn What You Know into Dough
Trying to read as many books as I can to see which ones
I want to keep, sell or give away. Writing my own books
at the same time is very challenging. I have to play catch
up and finish a short story I'm doing! Well, here's hoping
for at least two reviews by Monday!
