The Ditchdigger's Daughters

This dude was strict with his daughters.  I think since he had 5 biological kids and 1 adopted one, it's a good look at how discipline really depends on the CHILD'S personality. He didn't really tailor the discipline to fit the individual.  Sometimes I thought the dad was a jerk and sometimes I thought he had some good points.  Either way, it was a pretty inspiring story told from the middle child's perspective.  If you ever think you can't do something in life, read this book.  You will realize you can. I enjoyed it.

Faking It

I got this book because the Amazon reviews averaged 4 out of 5 stars; and it was just $3 on the Kindle.  By the middle of the book I had to start munching on some crackers to go with all the cheese I was digesting! When I read a romance book I need it to have parts where I close the book and smile at the beauty of the love developing. This had me closing the book and rolling my eyes because it was so cheesy. Some parts were okay and others dragged. To make matters worse there is a sequel......I read the synopsis of that and rolled my eyes too.  I could only revisit this character and storyline as a beach read.
