#15 - Every Tool is a Hammer - Adam Savage

Every Tool's a Hammer: Life is What You Make ItEvery Tool's a Hammer: Life is What You Make It by Adam Savage

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my 15th book of the year but Goodreads is showing it as #14. Very Weird, anyway it was a fun read. If you are a builder of any sort or you like Adam Savage and The MythBusters​ this is a must read book. This was such a fun read. I wasn't sure what to expect but the more I read it the more I enjoyed it. It definitely kept me entertained.

#14 - Retribution (A Jason Conrad Thriller Book 1)

Retribution (A Jason Conrad Thriller Book 1)Retribution by Michael Byars Lewis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I didn't realize that this was more of a short novella. Apparently it was written sort of a prequel to some other books I haven't started yet. Overall it was pretty good. I might have to try the next one on the series after I get through some other books I want to read.

#11 - The Gettysburg Trilogy (Gettysburg, #1-3)

The Gettysburg Trilogy (Gettysburg, #1-3)The Gettysburg Trilogy by Newt Gingrich

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Overall this was a great series of books. It was definitely an interesting concept that hooked me in to the story and kept me entertained. Reading the kindle version the only problem I had was that multiple times the time of day the mentioned was totally wrong, the characters were doing something in the morning and it said PM or vice versa. Also in the Kindle version it includes part of the George Washington story that they wrote but I haven' finished that part. I decided to move on to other books for awhile.

THe Upset by Tyler Trent - 10th book I Have read this year.

The UpsetThe Upset by Tyler Trent

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Being a Purdue University graduate I am extremely biased in the review of this book. I won't lie that at times it was tough read and other parts were truly inspiring. I am not the most religious guy around but the way Trent talked about how he accepted God's plan was amazing I do believe we were all put on earth to do something and sooner or later you will find it. His was to galvanize the college football and college sports fanatics around the world to try and help find a cure for cancer. If you are struggling with anything then please find someone to talk to. It could be God, it could be your spouse, a best friend a parent. Just talk. Enjoy your time with your family. This probably wasn't the smartest time for me to read this book since this month is the 11 year anniversary of when I lost my sister to cancer. I still believe that she and our Mom are looking down on our family trying to help us stay positive. Find your anchor and use it. Make a difference in the world. Small words can make a big difference. Finally let bygones be bygones and make up with someone you miss. Nothing is worse than not having someone still in your life because of a stupid argument. Take care and good luck.
