8. Freebies (ER and gifts)
8.1 Emmy's Equal by Marcia Gruver
I felt it was an enjoyable book, definitely. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it was a nice read. However, there was only one point in the book where I really cared about the characters - about what happened to them. I was confused about the relationship between Emmy and Nash at the beginning. The book started out slowly, but picked up at the end. I don't want to turn anyone off from reading it! I did enjoy it!
8.2 One Week in December by Holly Chamberlin
8.3 It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure by Smith, Larry
8.4 Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between by Theresa Brown
8.5 Cutting Myself in Half by Taylor LeBaron
You gotta admire the kid. He was 297 pounds going into 7th grade, and now is 145 at 17. He turned fitness into a game, and has a sound health ethic now. The book really inspired me. But I do wonder if it's overboard to NEVER have a piece of birthday cake. But you know, he's maintained his goal weight for a couple years, and I'm still 50 pounds overweight. So I say, do what works for ya, Taylor!!
8.6 Head in the Clouds by Karen Witemeyer
