This Thing of Ours by Cammy Franzese

Good evening, friends! I’ve received a book from booksneeze, “This Thing of Ours,” by Cammy Franzese. Before I get started, though, I need to let everyone know that I received this book for free from the publisher through the booksneeze blogging program, and I am under no legal obligation to give this book a good review. Anything that I say is completely my own opinion and how I legitimately feel about it. Now, anyway, I honestly ordered this book because I legitimately thought that it was fiction. When the newsletter for December came in at the beginning of the month, I had no idea that this was a true story. Maybe it said it in the newsletter and I just didn’t pay attention, but no matter. This was a pretty cool book. It is about a woman who is married to a mafia guy, and how God keeps their marriage together. But I just couldn’t understand how a woman could marry a guy that she knew was a criminal. But maybe that’s just me. However, I did enjoy this book, I really did. It was interesting, and because I don’t live in a place where organized crime is an everyday occurrence, this was fascinating for me. I give it four out of five stars.

December 1941 by Craig Shirley

Hey there- I just received a new book from booksneeze, “December 1941” by Craig Shirley. Before I get started, though, I do need to say that I received this book from the Thomas Nelson publishing company for free, in exchange for a review. It didn’t have to be a good review, and whatever I say is my honest opinion. However, that being said, this is a good review. I loved the book! I love history, a lot, and lately I’ve been studying World War II. This book is about, as you guessed it, December of 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. When I hear about World War II, I always envision Hitler and the Nazi regime, but the side of Pearl Harbor is a big part of that as well. This helped me learn more about what had happened back then, how everything went down, and even went into what the culture was like before and after this fateful month. I love this book and I’m actually debating as to whether I should give it is a Christmas present or keep it for myself! I loved this book and I am giving it a definite five out of five stars.
