College Bound and Gagged ebook Review

When I first started reading this ebook I was put off a bit by the fact that the Copyright is 1998, which is the year that my 17 year old daughter was born.  Ironically, she is the reason I applied to review this book.  She is graduating next year and we are trying to make sense of everything college.  You see, I joined the Navy when I was 17 and didn't attend college until I was an adult-at that point I used my GI Bill at a local Community College.  So, I really have limited knowledge of what it takes to go through this process.

Despite the fact that this book is apparently 17 years old (which I think might be a type-o), it has some great, useful information for the college bound person and it is written in an engaging non-boring way.  This short and to the point ebook is 27 pages long and divided into 5 chapters.  With information on pumping up the college resume, visiting prospective schools, closing a major, testing, and the online footprint of students.  One tool that is included is a list of sites that sell/buy back textbooks, one of which I wrote a review on a while ago here.

I recommend this ebook to anyone looking at starting college, I know my daughter will be reading it!

I received this ebook at no charge in exchange for my honest opinion. 

Slow Cooker Recipes Cookbook for Beginners Review + Giveaway

I was given the opportunity to review the Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners cookbook.  I received the Kindle version, but there is also a hard copy you can get.    

This starter slow cooker cook book has over 50 recipes within the 6 chapters; including Appetizers and Sides, Soups and Stews, Meats, Vegetarian, Sides, and Desserts.   I was really impressed with the variety I found in this book.  One of the recipes I cannot wait to try is the Cream of Mushroom soup! There is a local Columbian restaurant that we go to that serves the best cream of mushroom soup and I'm hoping to find an at home version to make.

Its great that there is a vegetarian section in the book too, we try to eat vegetarian at least twice a week.  Plus, slow cooker recipes are great for busy families.  You can start it in the morning or afternoon and it is done by dinner time with minimal work!

The recipes in this book go from needing just a few ingredients up to needing lots of ingredients, so depending on how much time and how in-depth you want to get you should be able to find something.  You can enter to win your own copy of this awesome cookbook below!
